  1. “Political instability is having a particular impact on the security situation in Darfur, as evidenced by the continuing intercommunal violence and the looting of United Nations compounds, particularly those of the World Food Programme. It is important that the perpetrators of these crimes not enjoy impunity. We also reiterate our call for the authorities to accelerate the deployment of the joint protection force provided for in the Juba Peace Agreement. The protection of civilians, including humanitarian and medical personnel, and the guarantee of full, safe, and unhindered humanitarian access are now the sole responsibility of the Sudanese authorities and must remain priorities for them. Alongside its partners, particularly its European partners, France will remain engaged in favour of the political transition in the Sudan.”

  2. “Banda to surrender immediately to the Court so that he can be tried. France’s commitment to the Sudan is inextricably linked to the continuity of the democratic transition. The current political impasse calls into question the many achievements of the past two years. We support the facilitation efforts of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Volker Perthes, in favour of dialogue between the Sudanese parties. The situation remains very worrying, with a climate of repression and intimidation against demonstrators and the media being maintained by the authorities, and characterized by arrests, detentions, searches and recurrent Internet blackouts. France condemns the violence that has resulted in the deaths of at least 60 people since 25 October, and the sexual violence, the perpetrators of which must be prosecuted.”

  3. “The investigators must have secure access to Sudanese territory, and in particular to crime scenes in Darfur, to archives and evidence, as well as to witnesses, including those who are held in detention centres. France welcomes the concrete progress that has been made in the case against Mr. Abd-Al-Rahman, also known as Ali Kushayb. We have taken note of the confirmation by Pre-Trial Chamber II on 9 July 2021 of the 31 charges that had been brought. It is now essential that the witnesses in this case be able to testify safely and without hindrance, particularly in the context of the trial scheduled to begin next April. Beyond that, while complementarity remains a cardinal principle, the execution of outstanding arrest warrants is crucial. We call on the Sudan to promptly surrender Mr. Harun to the Court. We again urge Mr.”

  4. “Building a lasting and inclusive peace in the region will not be possible without justice. The fight against impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes is part of restoring democratic life and reconciliation in the country. In this respect, recent events in the Sudan have had very worrying consequences on the conduct of investigative activities. Cooperation has suffered significant setbacks since October. We urge the Sudanese authorities to fully implement their commitments under resolution 1593 (2005), the Juba Peace Agreement, and the memorandums signed with the Office of the Prosecutor. Not only does this mean re-establishing channels of communication with the Court without delay, but also providing all necessary assistance to investigators.”

  5. “Mr. Fodda (France) (spoke in French): I, too, thank Prosecutor Khan for his report and briefing. His visit to Khartoum in August 2021, just a few weeks after taking office, demonstrates the importance that the Prosecutor attaches to the situations that have been referred by the Security Council to the International Criminal Court. France welcomes the new memorandum of understanding concluded during this visit. This instrument completes the framework of cooperation with the Sudanese Government and extends it to each of the four suspects who have not yet been surrendered to the Court. It is now time for implementation. France is indeed convinced that the mission entrusted by the Security Council to the International Criminal Court is all the more essential in this period of transition in the Sudan.”

  6. “The prospect of parliamentary and presidential elections set to begin on 24 December offers the possibility of a lasting peace. On 12 November, France, Germany, Italy and Libya co-convened an international conference for Libya facilitated by the United Nations. The conference gave the international community and Libyan actors the opportunity to reaffirm their support to the electoral process and for the withdrawal of mercenaries, combatants and foreign forces from Libya. In accordance with the commitments made by all of the participants in the Paris conference, we must now work to implement the commitments of the Libyan road map endorsed by the Council. France will continue to support the political transition in Libya, in particular through concerted efforts with its European partners and Libya’s neighbours.”

  7. “The principle of complementarity, a foundational principle of the Rome Statute, must be leveraged to the fullest extent. We welcome the Office of the Prosecutor’s increased interaction with the relevant Libyan jurisdictions and services. International investigators must be granted guaranteed and safe access to Libya’s entire territory. The Security Council must continue resolutely to combat impunity and prevent new crimes from being committed. France welcomes the fact that the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011) concerning Libya added Osama Al Kuni Ibrahim to its sanctions list in October, owing to the fact that he has committed serious human rights violations, including torture and violence. The effectiveness of the fight against impunity will also depend on progress that is made in the political process in Libya.”

  8. “We are counting on the Libyan authorities’ full cooperation with the Court and with the United Nations Support Mission in Libya. The Prosecutor’s visit to Libya, planned for early next year, will reflect the priority that the Court has attached to this case. The deaths of the alleged perpetrators of the most serious crimes cannot be considered justice for the victims. All States, whether or not they are parties to the Rome Statute, have an obligation to cooperate fully with the Court and its Prosecutor under resolution 1970 (2011). The perpetrators of the crimes committed in Libya since 2011 must be prosecuted. The atrocities committed in Tarhouna and south of Tripoli must be fully investigated. The crimes against migrants, refugees and detainees, which are again referenced in the report, cannot go unpunished.”

  9. “Mr. Fodda (France) (spoke in French): I too thank Prosecutor Khan for his report and his briefing. I reiterate our congratulations to him and wish him success in fulfilling the crucial missions entrusted to him. France reaffirms our unwavering support for the International Criminal Court and its staff, as well as our commitment to the independence of the Court. We will continue to cooperate actively with the Court, the only permanent international criminal court with a universal jurisdiction, which plays a key role in combating impunity. France will support reforms to strengthen its effectiveness. With regard to the implementation of resolution 1970 (2011), France recalls that combating impunity is one of the key elements in resolving conflict and achieving reconciliation among Libyan parties.”
