1. “Japan strongly believes that if we are to ensure that the ICC can effectively promote the rule of law around the world, more countries, including members of the Council, should join it. At the same time, the ICC and its States parties should continue to listen to the various concerns expressed and make efforts to enhance the Court's universality, so that it can gain stronger support for its work. My delegation stands ready to work alongside the ICC to that end, and we look forward to further tangible progress on today's agenda.”

2. “We encourage the Libyan authorities and the international community to cooperate fully with the ICC, pursuant to resolutions 1970 (2011) and 2259 (2015). Japan is committed to supporting the implementation of the action plan provided by Mr. Ghassan Salame, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya. At the same time, we remain deeply concerned about the ongoing violence and insecurity in Libya, including the human rights violations committed by all sides. That makes it more difficult for the Prosecutor's investigation to progress. In that context, we note the Office of the Prosecutor's analysis of possible investigations of alleged crimes against migrants and look forward to further updates. I would like to conclude by reiterating Japan's continued support for the activities of the ICC.”

3. “Against that background, we welcome the continued collaborative relationship between the Office of the Prosecutor and the Libyan Prosecutor-General's Office. Prime Minister Serraj's reaffirmation of Libya's commitment during meetings with Prosecutor Bensouda to cooperating with the ICC was especially encouraging. We hope that positive trend will yield results in the near future. Japan is closely following the situation in the wake of the issuance of the arrest warrant for Mahmoud Mustafa Busayf Al-Werfalli for alleged criminal responsibility for war crimes under the Rome Statute. Japan stands ready to fulfil its obligations under the Statute. With regard to SaifAl-Islam Al-Qadhafi, it is regrettable that he is not yet in the custody of the ICC, despite various efforts by the Office of the Prosecutor.”

4. “I would like to begin by expressing my appreciation to Prosecutor Bensouda for her briefing and report. Japan is committed to the fight against impunity and to supporting the International Criminal Court (ICC), including the Office of the Prosecutor, and we commend the accomplishments the ICC has made so far. As the ICC's largest financial contributor, Japan has consistently supported it with a view to ensuring that it can function effectively and sustainably in promoting the rule of law, with the support of the international community. Japan believes that the ICC has contributed to steady progress on international justice. However, since the Court lacks its own enforcement authorities, the cooperation of States is vital to its success, for it cannot function effectively or deliver justice without that cooperation.”
