  1. “We appreciate the efforts of the two Tribunals and of the international community to strengthen the national judicial capacity-building in both regions. We believe that the Security Council, the countries concerned and the Tribunals should continue to assist in the establishment of national chambers that conform to international standards. It is our hope that, with their vast experience and expertise, the Judges of the two Tribunals will, in addition to ensuring fair trials, further enhance the efficiency of trials and accelerate trial processes. In that regard, it is necessary that both the Trial Chambers and the Offices of the Prosecutors make specific arrangements to ensure that those objectives can be attained.”

  2. “We believe that the timely transfer to competent national jurisdictions of cases involving intermediate and lower rank suspected of being responsible for crimes is of crucial importance; it will help to ensure that the two Tribunals complete their work as scheduled and that reconciliation and justice can be realized in the two countries and regions. The transfer process should be intensified when that is practicable. We note that the Prosecutors of the two Tribunals have begun to submit proposed transfer cases to the competent Trial Chambers for approval. We hope that the War Crimes Chamber in Bosnia and Herzegovina will be operational by January 2005, and we expect that Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, Rwanda and a few other countries will be prepared to receive appropriate cases at an early date.”

  3. “Mr. Guan Jian (China) (spoke in Chinese): We listened carefully to the reports of President Meron and Prosecutor Del Ponte of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and of President Mase and Prosecutor Jallow of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). We express our appreciation to the Tribunals for their work. The two Tribunals have continued to take steps to actively implement the completion strategies. We commend them for their work in that regard. We are gratified to note that, in accordance with the time frame set out in the completion strategies, the two Tribunals will complete all investigative work by the end of this year, thus marking a propitious beginning to the successful implementation of other goals outlined in the completion strategies.”

  4. “We believe that certain technical issues must be addressed, but we maintain that appropriate measures should be taken to permit experienced judges to concentrate on completing the trials. We are open to any proposal that will contribute to the continuity of the work of the two Tribunals.”

  5. “The two Tribunals and interested countries should provide those that have agreed to take those cases with the legal, technical, financial and personnel support so as to enhance their legal capacities and allow them to attain the standards of a fair trial as soon as possible. After the two Tribunals have confirmed that appropriate conditions exist, the cases of intermediate- and lower-rank accused should be handed over to the domestic courts of those countries for trial. We believe that the current situation shows that the smooth implementation of the completion strategy requires cooperation between the countries of the regions involved. The Security Council, the countries concerned and the two Tribunals can also play a role in exploring how to establish domestic courts and to ensure the continuity of the Tribunals' work.”

  6. “Furthermore, the measures taken by the Tribunals to encourage suspects to turn themselves in and to plead guilty are also effective means of accelerating the trial process. We believe that the two priorities in the work of the Tribunals are to transfer cases to the domestic courts of the countries concerned as soon as possible and to ensure the continuity of the trial process. We note the fact that the War Crimes Chamber of Bosnia and Herzegovina is expected to be operational in 2005. We hope that the countries of the former Yugoslavia and those under the jurisdiction of the Rwandan Tribunal will be able to assume responsibility for the trials of the relevant cases.”

  7. “Mr. Guan Jian (China) (spoke in Chinese): At the outset, allow me, like the speaker before me, to express my condolences over the tragedy of United Nations and other personnel killed in the crash in Sierra Leone. We have listened with great interest to the briefings of Presidents Meron and Mose and Prosecutors Del Ponte and Jallow on the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). We thank them for the work of the Tribunals. We appreciate the positive measures adopted by the Tribunals to implement the completion strategy. We believe that they are rightly focused on the prosecution and trial of the senior accused.”
