  1. “There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The meeting rose at 1.05 pm.”

  2. “We are pursuing relevant work to that end with our colleagues in the Fifth Committee. We hope that by the end of the year we shall be able to avert any excessive complications. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. I give the floor to the representative of Croatia.”

  3. “We stress once again that we remain committed to strict compliance with resolution 1966 (2010) and are not ready to consider reopening it under any pretext. We suggest that the work on transferring the archives to the Residual Mechanism should already be in full swing. No one is stopping the ICTR from starting to implement the liquidation plan, which is not dependent on the conclusion of the Butare case. It has become very clear, as we approach the watershed moment for the Tribunals at the end of 2014, that attempts to establish pretexts for their ongoing functioning would taint the backdrop for December's discussions. Continuing the Tribunals' activities beyond 2014 would require independent external experts to look into the true state of affairs in the Tribunals in order to make specific recommendations to address the situation.”

  4. “We support the efforts of the ICTR management and the Residual Mechanism in that respect, and call on them once again to pursue their work with a view to maximizing effectiveness. The function of resettling acquitted individuals in safe countries should be transferred to the Residual Mechanism by the end of this year. The Tribunal's management would appear to understand that. We would warn against attempts to draw out the ICTR's work by retaining on its docket the so-called technical cases involving contempt of court or false testimony in cases that have already been transferred to the Residual Mechanism. Pursuant to resolution 1966 (2010), such cases should also be transferred expeditiously to the Residual Mechanism. No new Security Council resolution is needed to that effect.”

  5. “According to the Tribunal's report, that judge is working on only one case, while it had been planned that he would be assigned a heavier workload. The question arises as to whether it was genuinely necessary to add a judge to strengthen the personnel and effectiveness of the ICTY? With respect to the ICTR, the time when that body was a model for the swift conclusion of its mandate has come and gone. Unfortunately, efforts to shorten the time frames for the consideration ofthe Butare case have not borne fruit. Against that backdrop, we rightly hope that there will be no new excuses for prolonging the activities of the ICTR. We recognize the gravity - first and foremost for the States of East Africa - of the issue of the resettlement of individuals acquitted in cases before the ICTR. That is a humanitarian problem.”

  6. “In our view, problems have arisen that have a significant bearing on international criminal justice, involving in particular legal certainty and the application ofa single standard ofjustice for all. Such an approach to judicial activity hardly enhances the legacy of the ICTY. There have been ongoing deferrals of the hearings in the Stanisie, Zupljanin and Sesvelj cases. We understand that the current situation is the result of the disqualification of Judge Harhoff. Nevertheless, we also understand that it is now time to overcome the consequences of that problem. We should not like to see his recusal become a long-standing pretext for dragging out the work of the ICTY. In that regard, I recall the recent election of an additional judge to the ICTY.”

  7. “I will now make a statement in my national capacity. I too would like to thank the Presidents and Prosecutors of the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and the International Residual Mechanis for Criminal Tribunals for their participation and their briefings. Unfortunately, an acquaintance with the periodic reports of the ICTY and ICTR once more emphasizes the lack of progress both in the Tribunals' approach to their activities and in their completion and transfer of their secondary functions to the Residual Mechanism. At the beginning of the year, the ICTY issued appeal judgements in the Bordevie and Sainovie cases. Indictments have been handed down against the backdrop of the recent acquittal in the very similar Perisic' case.”

  8. “The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I wish to draw the attention of Council members to documents S/2014/343 and S/2014/351, respectively containing the report of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the report of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. I wish to draw the attention of members to documents S/20l4/350, containing a letter dated 16 May 2014 from the President of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals addressed to the President of the Security Council. I now give the floor to Judge Meron.”

  9. “Under rule 37 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite the representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia to participate in this meeting. Under rule 39 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite the following briefers to participate in this meeting: Judge Theodor Meron, President of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and President of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals; Judge Vagn Joensen, President of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda; Mr. Serge Brammertz, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia; and Mr. Hassan Bubacar Jallow, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and Prosecutor of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals.”
