  1. “France is convinced that such support will guarantee the effectiveness of targeted sanctions, an important instrument in the maintenance of international peace and security.”

  2. “The procedure we have just adopted, which complements that for States' submission of requests, enables individuals and entities that have been listed to present their petitions for delisting directly to a focal point created to that end within the Secretariat. As in the various sanctions committees, the new mechanism will make the procedure more accessible, clearer and standardized. It will also ensure that all submissions will be considered by the sanctions committees within a reasonable delay. It therefore represents considerable progress in terms of equity and transparency. My country expresses the hope that, by thus facilitating requests for delisting, the new procedure will strengthen the support of States for the sanctions regimes.”

  3. “Mrs. Collet (France) (spoke in French): France welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 1730 (2006), which is the result of the reaching of fresh insights and of a collective effort pursued, in particular, within the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) concerning Al-Qaida and the Taliban. It is a meaningful contribution to improving delisting procedures for sanctions committee lists. With the development of sanctions regimes aimed at individuals or entities, rather than at countries, the 2 inadequacy of delisting procedures has gradually become apparent. There has been a widespread sense that, once a name has been added to a list, it is difficult to delist it and to plead one's case, since the procedure has been so opaque and inaccessible. That has affected the efficacy of sanctions.”

  4. “Those cannot escape international justice. For France, the mission of the Tribunals cannot be completed so long as the principal fugitive indictees - in particular Mr. Karadzic, Mr. Mladic and Mr. Kabuga - remain at large. They must be transferred to The Hague and Arusha without further ado. Like the States concerned, they must remain aware that the Council will not abandon that obligation.”

  5. “Its organization as a single case with multiple accused will make its significance even greater. As regards the ICTR, we have no objection to the President's request to have the mandate of the permanent judges extended to the end of 2008 in order to complete the trials under way. However, the idea of increasing the number of judges in the Appeals Chamber should be carefully considered. Another important element of the completion strategy is the transfer of accused to national jurisdictions. That process must be accompanied by the necessary guarantee of fair trials and the non- application of the death penalty. Only thus can it contribute to the development of the rule of law. However, transfer to national jurisdictions cannot be considered in the cases of the highest-level indictees responsible for the most serious crimes.”

  6. “We note in particular their resolve to see judges play a more active role in managing trial proceedings, thus adhering more closely to the investigative model. That, of course, should take place in respect for the independence of the Prosecutor, the rights of the defence and the interests of the victims. Following certain worrying irregularities, we appeal to the ICTY scrupulously to respect the status of its working languages. Thanks to the improved functioning of the Tribunals in the context of the completion strategy, justice should be rendered to the victims in a more reasonable time frame, opening the way to reconciliation. To that end, we must welcome the imminent opening of the Srebrenica trial, representing a particularly dark page of our history.”

  7. “In that regard, we should like the Tribunal's written reports to set out in greater detail developments in cooperation received and investigations that are still under way. The most recent reporting period was marked, inter alia, by the death of Slobodan Milosevic. The French Minister for Foreign Affairs has expressed special sympathy for all those who suffered in the ethnic cleansing decided upon and planned with great resolve by that man. The Tribunal and the Dutch authorities have investigated, as required, the deaths of Milosevic and Milan Babic. The results of those investigations must be analysed. We were especially interested to learn that the judges have decided to draw lessons from the Milosevic trial and begun to implement a number of the working group's recommendations on accelerating trials.”

  8. “It is imperative that Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina fully cooperate with the Tribunal. Cooperating with the international Tribunals is also an obligation incumbent on all States and international organizations. We welcome the effective cooperation of Argentina that recently enabled the transfer of Milan Lukic. We note, on the other hand, that the Russian Federation has not yet transferred Dragan Zelenovic. We also note the difficulties being experienced in the cooperation between the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo and the Office of the Prosecutor. We also expect the full cooperation of all States in the arrest of Felicien Kabuga and others indicted by the ICTR who remain at large 10 years after the genocide.”

  9. “Mrs. Collet (France) (spoke in French): I should like to start by thanking the Presidents and the Prosecutors of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) for their briefings and for outlining the challenges they face in carrying out their duties. At the previous meeting on this item, we welcomed the transfer to The Hague of Ante Gotovina, one of the four fugitives mentioned by name in Council resolutions. At the time, we had high hopes of seeing that example followed by the rapid transfer to the ICTY of Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic. Those hopes were dashed, and yet arresting and transferring ICTY indictees to The Hague is an international obligation for the concerned countries of the region and a prerequisite for their integration into the European family.”

  10. “As a member of the Security Council, we are of course resolved to discharge our responsibilities and to continue to seek, alongside the Tribunals, new ways to ensure adherence to the completion strategy. Nevertheless, we feel it important to ensure a certain stability in the functioning of the Tribunals and in their statutes, and to avert repeated interventions by the Council in their organizational affairs. In conclusion, I reiterate France's belief that the Tribunals' missions will not be accomplished so long as the major suspects at large - in particular Mr. Karadzic, Mr. Mladic and Mr. Kabuga - have not been brought to trial. The fugitives must be transferred to Arusha and The Hague forthwith. Like the States concerned, they must understand that the Council will not back down from its demands.”

  11. “We also hope that the trials transferred to national jurisdictions will be monitored to guarantee the same safeguards, and in that regard we welcome the willingness of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to monitor those trials on behalf of the ICTY Prosecutor. As to the ICTR, could the Prosecutor tell us if he is considering the establishment of a similar monitoring mechanism for cases transferred to national jurisdictions? The protection of witnesses must remain an ongoing concern of both jurisdictions. The pressuring of and threats against witnesses are unacceptable. Ms. Del Ponte once again emphasized the seriousness of that problem in Kosovo. We note her remarks concerning cooperation with the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo.”

  12. “We also expect full and complete cooperation from all States concerned in the arrest of Felicien Kabuga and others indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), who are still at large 10 years after the genocide. For us, the completion strategy of the Tribunals, approved by the Council, has two major objectives: to provide timely justice to the victims and to ensure thereby that the spirit of vengeance gives way to reconciliation. We note, and naturally regret, that delays are expected at the ICTY with regard to the second phase of the strategy - the end of the trials - but we hope that they will not hinder compliance with the completion deadline. We appreciate the considerable efforts of both Tribunals to make the most effective use of their resources while ensuring that the trials enjoy all necessary safeguards.”

  13. “That arrest, the fruit of efforts made by the Prosecutor, Croatia and Spain, and the two arrests of recent months in Argentina and Russia naturally heighten our impatience - 10 years after the signing of the Dayton-Paris accords - to see Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic swiftly transferred to the ICTY. As the French Minister for Foreign Affairs recently recalled in Belgrade, cooperation - especially that of Serbia and Montenegro - with the Tribunal will be full and complete only when those two fugitives are in The Hague. That is the only way for a rapprochement with the European Union to be achieved. It is a legal, political and moral necessity.”

  14. “Mrs. Collet (France) (spoke in French): At the outset, I wish to thank the Presidents and Prosecutors of the two ad hoc Tribunals for their extremely detailed and interesting briefings. I also congratulate Judge Fausto Pocar on his recent election to the presidency of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and ask him to convey our thanks to his predecessor, Judge Meron. Since our last meeting, we have received some good news: the arrest of Ante Gotovina, one of the four fugitives referred to by name in Council resolutions. That is good news for the European continent, for international justice and for justice as a whole.”
