  1. “In this regard, lessons could be drawn from the Residual Special Court for Sierra Leone. We encourage the incoming President and the Office of the Prosecutor to look into this matter. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate the need for the Council to provide continued support to the Mechanism so it can fulfil its mandated residual functions. Iwould also like to encourage Member States to strengthen their support for the Residual Mechanism, including in relation to the tracking of fugitives and relocation of acquitted or released persons, as well as addressing budget-related issues.”

  2. “We therefore join the call for assistance from relevant States in this task. It is important that they continue to provide the necessary assistance to the Office of the Prosecutor, including in tracking those fugitives. Fourthly, we note with concern some of the issues that continue to be raised in relation to the early release of people convicted by the ICTR or the Residual Mechanism. We have particularly noted the concern raised by the Prosecutor of the Mechanism regarding unconditional early release, which has often led to the denial of crimes and criminal responsibility. In our View, consultation on early release between the President of the Mechanism and the country concerned, Rwanda, particularly its implications for victims and the community at large, is extremely important.”

  3. “While we welcome the measures taken by the Mechanism to reduce the impact of that decision, its implications for the Mechanism's long-term planning and operations and the completion of its functions in a timely and effective manner, as well as its impact on the protection of victims and witnesses, require further attention. Thirdly, we continue to note with concern that eight fugitives indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) remain at large. In that regard, we welcome the measures taken by the Office of the Prosecutor to track and arrest the remaining fugitives, including by establishing a tracking team and cooperating with relevant actors such as INTERPOL. In our view, the cooperation of such relevant international organizations and States remains critical to pursuing the remaining eight fugitives.”

  4. “We note with appreciation the work done by the Mechanism since assuming its residual responsibility, and the measures taken by the Office of the Prosecutor to assist and build capacity in national criminal-justice sectors with a view to supporting the prosecution of war-crimes cases arising from the conflicts in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. Secondly, we have noted the challenges raised in the assessment report in relation to the General Assembly's decision not to approve the Mechanism's biennium budget for the period from 2018 to 2019.”

  5. “I would like to start by thanking Judge Meron and Prosecutor Brammertz for the assessment report on the work of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, and for their briefings today. I would also like to join other speakers in commending Judge Meron for his work as presiding Judge, and we wish the incoming President, Judge Agius, every success. I will just make four brief points. First, we welcome the measures taken by the Mechanism, including the Office of the Prosecutor, to further enhance its efficiency and streamline its internal working methods, despite its small staff and tight resources.”
