  1. “Finally, we hope to see cooperation between Rwanda and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda with a view to further ensuring a strong foothold for peace and national reconciliation. Given the constraints facing the judicial system of that country and other African countries, we call upon the international community to provide material and financial support and to strengthen their capacity for trying the cases transferred to them.”

  2. “Although the establishment of a fourth courtroom and the lifting of the recruitment freeze are likely to improve the functioning of the Tribunal, it remains clear that the expected increase in the caseload during the appeal phase will put additional pressure on the Tribunal and further delay the conclusion of its work. The fact that not all of the forecast achievements for this year have been realized shows that challenges remain. We note with satisfaction the recent sentencing of former high-level Rwandan officials, including retired Lieutenant Colonel Aloys Simba, accused of having played a leading role in the massacres in 1994. That is further proof of the importance of the mission entrusted to the Tribunal of ensuring that those crimes do not go unpunished, despite the difficulties faced.”

  3. “The updated completion strategy for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda reaffirms that the deadlines set out in resolutions 1503 (2003) and 1534 (2004) can still be achieved, but that they are subject to conditions that are not solely within the control of the Tribunal. Those conditions include the full and complete cooperation of the States concerned in apprehending and trying individuals still at large, as well as the availability of means. Constraints linked to the competence of the courts of certain countries and to the applicability of their laws to mid- or low-level accused transferred to them for trial may well further slow the pace of the work of the Tribunal as it seeks to complete the trial proceedings by 2008 and to conclude all of its work by 2010, as stipulated in resolution 1503 (2003).”

  4. “The completion of that mission, however, is still a cause for concern, in particular since it is becoming increasingly difficult, as the two recent Security Council reports make clear, to foresee a completion date for the accomplishment of the Tribunal's mandate. We believe that in this regard the united efforts of the international community, such as those that led to the recent arrest of Ante Gotovina, as well as the full and complete cooperation of the parties concerned with the Tribunal, remain essential if it is to overcome the difficulties that it faces in apprehending and bringing to justice all of those accused who are still at large, in particular Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic.”

  5. “My delegation reiterates its commitment to the accomplishment of the mission entrusted to the Tribunals by the international community and to the achievement of the objectives of the completion strategies. We welcome the work tirelessly carried out by the various organs of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, as well as for the efforts carried out, in accordance with regular procedures, to improve pre-trial investigations and to speed up proceedings in the Trials and Appeals Chambers. We also believe that referring cases involving mid- and lower-level accused to the State jurisdictions of the former Yugoslavia will contribute to reducing pressure on the Tribunal and will shorten the time required to fulfil its mission.”

  6. “Mr. El Hadj Ali (Algeria) (spoke in French): I should like at the outset to join previous speakers in thanking the Presidents and the Prosecutors of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda for their excellent briefings. I would also like, through them, to pay tribute to the work being carried out by those two courts in fulfilment of the missions entrusted to them by the international community. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Judge Fausto Pocar on his election to the presidency of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and to pay tribute to his predecessor, Judge Theodor Meron, for the important work that he carried out.”
