  1. “We also note that the United Nations should provide appropriate resources to the Court in relation to situations referred by the Security Council. It cannot be overemphasized that the current situation, where only States parties cover the cost of Security Council referrals, is neither fair nor sustainable. In conclusion, Brazil would like to renew its support for the efforts of the Office of the Prosecutor in ensuring justice and accountability, in accordance with the principle of complementarity. We hope that a fruitful relationship between the Office of the Prosecutor and Libyan authorities will continue to foster a culture of justice and accountability. We look forward to the full implementation of the Prosecutor’s strategy in relation to the situation in Libya.”

  2. “Those are important steps for holding perpetrators accountable for their crimes. Brazil welcomes the fact that UNSMIL has provided assistance to the Office of the Prosecutor with respect to the missions of both the Prosecutor and the Deputy Prosecutor to Libya. We also want to welcome the cooperation with third countries and regional organizations to support ongoing efforts to investigate and prosecute crimes committed against migrants. Brazil would like to reiterate its support for the ongoing efforts to withdraw foreign forces from Libyan territory. The presence of foreign fighters, including mercenaries, poses an additional threat to Libya’s stability and the rule of law. We commend the Prosecutor for having allocated additional resources to the Libya investigation team.”

  3. “The increased field presence of the Office of the Prosecutor should therefore be seen as a step towards implementing the principle of complementarity, with a view to supporting and strengthening national investigations and prosecutions. We encourage the Prosecutor to continue engaging with the Libyan authorities on a regular basis, as complementarity is one of the cornerstones of the Rome Statute system. International criminal justice is a temporary solution when States with jurisdiction are unwilling or unable to investigate and prosecute the most serious crimes. The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) can also make important contributions to national authorities in the fight against impunity, employing a collaborative approach in areas of investigation.”

  4. “In that regard, Brazil welcomes the increased field presence of the Office of the Prosecutor in the region — a measure that improves its ability not only to investigate but to further engage constructively with the national authorities. That enhanced field presence could strengthen communication lines and cooperation with the national authorities, as well as providing a safe, secure and stable environment to witnesses who wish to engage directly with investigators. Furthermore, cooperation efforts can provide opportunities to strengthen local institutions so that States can fulfil their primary responsibility to investigate and prosecute crimes committed in their territories.”

  5. “Mr. Fox Drummond Cançado Trindade (Brazil): I would like to start by thanking the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Mr. Karim Khan, for his valuable briefing on the twenty-fourth report on the situation in Libya. I would also like to welcome the Permanent Representative of Libya to today’s meeting. Brazil was presiding over the Council when resolution 1970 (2011), which referred the Libyan situation to the Court, was unanimously adopted. We would therefore like to reaffirm our strong commitment to Libya’s peace and stability. It is encouraging to see that the Prosecutor is personally on the ground and providing today’s briefing from Libya. It is also encouraging to note that his Office has been making tangible progress in the implementation of the road map that was presented to the Council in April (see S/PV.9024).”
