  4. “In that regard, we very much appreciate the dedicated work of the informal working group on the international tribunals to resolve the remaining outstanding issues in the coming months under its Austrian Chair. Once again, I would like to thank the Presidents, the judges, the Prosecutors and all other officials of the Tribunals for their determined work and their efforts to end impunity. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I now give the floor to the Permanent Representative of Serbia. Allow me to welcome him in his new assignment and to wish him continued success.”

  5. “All those responsible for violations of international humanitarian law in the territories of the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda must be brought to justice. Finally, referral of cases to national jurisdictions also plays an important role in the fulfilment of the Tribunals' mandates. Here too, we would like to appeal to the international community to provide support, wherever necessary, in order to strengthen the capacity of national institutions of the countries concerned. In conclusion, the Tribunals have so far made important contributions to international criminal justice. However, as we are now approaching their closure date, much needs to be done regarding legacy and residual issues.”

  6. “On the other hand, we should bear in mind that speedy realization of the completion strategies does not solely rely on the work carried out by the ICTY and the ICTR. In particular, additional measures need to be taken by the Security Council to match the judicial capacity of the Tribunals with current circumstances. Turkey is ready to support every step in that direction. Cooperation is another essential element of the successful completion of the Tribunal's work. Despite a certain amount of progress, we have regretfully noted that the number of fugitives has remained unchanged since the last biannual reports of the Tribunals. In that regard, we wish to appeal to all States to fully cooperate with the Tribunals, particularly in the pursuit and arrest of fugitives.”

  7. “I shall now make a statement in my national capacity. I would like to thank the Presidents and the Prosecutors of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) for their introduction of the reports (see S/2009/252 and S/2009/247). Turkey acknowledges the progress made by both Tribunals in the implementation of their completion strategies. We commend the strong commitment by the judges, the Prosecutors and the entire staff of the ICTY and the ICTR to meet the timelines set by the Security Council. However, it is clear that neither of the Tribunals is able to meet the target dates envisaged in the completion strategies. We thus encourage the Tribunals to continue their efforts to expedite the proceedings, without prejudice to the principle ofa fair trial.”

  17. “However, the fulfilment of those objectives is not and cannot be limited to the lifespan of the Tribunals in the case of the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. Thus, as we near the closure of the two Tribunals, we have to ensure that the culture of impunity will never resurface and that the necessary mechanisms to that end are firmly in place. Since we will be dealing with this issue shortly in more depth, let me stop here. Without further ado, allow me to proceed with our formal agenda. Adoption of the agenda The agenda was adopted.”

  18. “As the President of the Council for this month, we will certainly do our share. In this vein, I am particularly pleased to start our presidency with this meeting on the International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda. The contribution of those two Tribunals to international criminal justice and, consequently, to reconciliation, stability and peace in the affected countries is most commendable. As a country that is deeply committed to the rule of law and as a firm believer in the mutually reinforcing relationship between peace and justice, Turkey greatly values the important work carried out by those Tribunals. Combating impunity and providing justice to the victims of violations of international humanitarian law are a priority for us.”

  19. “We also hoped that our insight into the rather complex issues that the Council is grappling with, especially those of our region, might bring added value to the work of this body. In retrospect, the five months since we assumed Council membership have vindicated our vision. We have benefited greatly from our deliberations on a wide area of issues and have tried to translate them into positive inputs for our policies and initiatives. Now, looking ahead, we are even more hopeful that our active engagement with the members of the Council and the entire United Nations membership will continue to contribute to peace and stability in the world. I am confident that the busy programme of work for June, which reflects almost the entire agenda of the Council, will be a step in this direction.”

  20. “When Turkey decided to run for a seat on the Council, some five years ago, we did so with a clear vision of the United Nations and of our possible role in the Council. Indeed, we see the United Nations as the principal embodiment of international legitimacy, and the Security Council as the primary organ responsible for maintaining global peace and security. Turkey has been a responsible member of the international community, deeply committed to upholding the ideals and principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter. Indeed, as a founding Member of the United Nations, active involvement in the policies and programmes of the Organization constitutes one of the main pillars of our foreign policy. This is why we thought our membership in the Council could help amplify the constructive role we try to play in our region and beyond.”
