  1. “The International Criminal Court is the best instrument we have for combating impunity in a world where respect for human rights and international humanitarian law is lacking, and where violations have reached intolerable levels. In that context, the Court is our last hope, and the last hope of thousands of victims. After some 12 years without results, it is easy to give way to discouragement and frustration. But it is our obligation - that of members of the Security Council, of States parties and of Ms. Bensouda herself - to safeguard and continue seeking avenues for dialogue between the Council and the Court that would enable us to return to the path of cooperation. We owe it to the victims of Darfur. It is up to us to restore their confidence in the authority of law and justice. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

  2. “We also reiterate our conviction that there can be no lasting peace without justice. This is the last statement that my country will make in the Security Council when Ms. Bensouda is present, and I would like to reiterate Spain's commitment to the Court, which for my country is first and foremost a commitment to victims. It is clear that the Court's work with regard to Darfur has played a role in the crisis that has arisen thanks to the decision of three States parties to withdraw from the Rome Statute. Spain, which last year enacted a law on immunities expressly guaranteeing respect for obligations arising from its membership in the Court, would like to reaffirm its readiness to participate in a constructive dialogue that can build bridges.”

  3. “We would also like to remind States parties to the Rome Statute of the obligation to cooperate that they assumed upon ratification of the Statute. While the decline in violence in Darfur is positive, the situation is still very far from satisfactory. The continuing clashes, especially in Jebel Marra; the persistence of violations of international humanitarian law and of violations and abuses of human rights; the continued obstacles to access for the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur and humanitarian organizations; and the persistent climate of impunity are all unacceptable. We reiterate our call to all parties to join a peace process, which should be inclusive. We remind the Sudanese Government of its special responsibility to protect the population.”

  4. “I shall now make a statement in my national capacity. The founding Charter of our Organization affirms faith in fundamental human rights and in the dignity of the human person. It also establishes that Member States are obliged to comply with the Security Council's decisions. However, none of those assertions seems to apply to Darfur, and to a large degree it is the Council's responsibility to deal with that. I wish to recall that 11 years have passed since the Council referred the situation in Darfur. We therefore reiterate our call to the Government of the Sudan to comply with the mandate in resolution 1593 (2005) and to cooperate with the International Criminal Court, in compliance with its obligations as a Member State.”

  5. “I thank Ms. Bensouda for her briefing. I shall now give the floor to the members of the Security Council who wish to make statements. I would like to remind speakers that, if possible, they should limit their statements to no more than five minutes. After five minutes the speaker's microphone will start blinking. The Council's agenda today is very full and intense, so I would request that speakers with long statements give a condensed version in the Chamber and circulate the full text to the other members separately.”

  6. “In accordance with rule 37 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite the representative of the Sudan to participate in this meeting. In accordance with rule 39 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite Ms. Fatou Bensouda, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, to participate in this meeting. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I now give the floor to Ms. Bensouda.”
