7. “Despite those very detailed considerations, the Security Council should not fail to bear in mind the main goal of ensuring that justice is carried out in connection with the grave atrocities crimes against humanity committed in the context of the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Croatia.”

8. “Mexico therefore reiterates that the Security Council should pursue its pragmatic and flexible approach to the Tribunals' completion strategies. In our view, the most desirable option would be for the Tribunals to complete their work in the near future, but not on the basis of arbitrary dates. The progress in implementing the completion strategies that the Tribunals have shared with us contributes to ensuring that the establishment of the residual mechanism shall take place in a more manageable and efficient manner. In the next six months, Mexico will continue to contribute to the effort to shape the residual mechanism in the context of the Informal Working Group on International Tribunals, concerning which our colleague from Austria has given us a very precise briefing.”

9. “In that regard, we call on the States involved to respond without delay to the requests of the specialized bodies of the Tribunals, in particular when it comes to finding and arresting fugitives - two in the case of the former Yugoslavia and 11 in that of Rwanda. In particular, we note the valuable judicial cooperation provided by the Government of Croatia. We urge it to continue that cooperation in connection with issues pending before the Tribunal. We cannot ignore the fact that the Tribunals face the ongoing challenge of striking a balance between delivering justice, administrative efficiency, ensuring the basic rights of accused, witnesses and victims, and completing their work as soon as possible.”

10. “Taken together, these pose serious challenges to ensuring that the conclusion of the Tribunal's work adheres to the dates set by the Council. It is therefore important to provide both Tribunals with the means to allow them to conclude their judicial work as soon as possible. In that regard, it is necessary to extend the terms of first-instance judges of both Tribunals until at least the first half of 2011, and to review the appeals work up to the second half of 2012, in line with the provisions set out in resolutions 1900 (2009) and 1901 (2009). The cooperation of States with the Tribunals is also key.”

11. “We are aware that judicial activity will always be subject to a series of unforeseen conditions and circumstances and that both Tribunals are addressing those in the best way possible. The actions taken by both Tribunals therefore give us the confidence to urge them to take additional measures to conclude their work as soon as possible and to make way for the establishment of the residual mechanism. The reports before us this morning confirm that the Tribunals will not be able to conclude their work by the dates set in resolutions 1503 (2003) and 1534 (2004). Their work will therefore continue even beyond 2010. That is due, inter alia, to such issues as lack of cooperation, the difficulty of retaining qualified personnel, and difficulties in referring cases to national jurisdictions.”

My delegation thanks the Presidents and Prosecutors of the International Tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia for the presentation of their semi-annual reports on the status of the completion strategies for their activities (see S/20lO/259 and S/2010/270). Mexico takes interest in the efforts that both Tribunals have made to speed up the execution of their judicial activities in a responsible and efficient manner, the progress made in implementing the completion strategies in the past six months, and the way they have ensured the application of justice and respect for the procedural rights of the accused.”

27. “The rebel leaders must see that the international community is not prepared to indefinitely support their aspirations to the cost of the civilian population. Whatever the situation following the referendums, the Sudan will begin a fragile transition period, which will require the support of the countries of the region and the international community. From that standpoint, the United Nations will continue to have an important role in helping the population. By remaining in the Sudan, the Organization will be in a position to continue not only to meet its obligation to maintain international peace and security, but also to work to improve the situation of thousands of people who still face devastating violence and poverty. I now resume my functions as President of the Council and shall invite Mr. Mbeki to make a few concluding remarks.”

28. “That holistic vision must be accompanied by a reorganization of the various efforts of the actors on the ground. The international community must maintain close cooperation in order to address the difficult challenges facing the Sudan. The United Nations must maintain a single channel of communication with the African Union High-Level Panel and the various regional initiatives for the good of the political process in that country. Furthermore, regarding Darfur, instances of progress the ground must serve as the true measures of progress in the political process. In that way, in the coming months, the international community should ensure a cessation of hostilities and the return of all parties to the negotiating table. The Security Council should do its utmost so that all rebel factions join the mediation process under way.”

29. “For years, the tragic situation in Darfur has engaged the conscience of millions around the world, including in my country, where broad sectors of society have called on the Security Council to ensure the protection of the civilian population and to resolutely promote a lasting solution to the conflict. Today, that call takes on particular significance as thousands of refugees and internally displaced persons in that region of the Sudan will find themselves affected by the strategic decisions that the Organization will take following this debate; hence the need to adopt a broad-based approach to the situation in the Sudan and in Darfur. What happens in Darfur must be linked to the broader context of what is happening in the rest of the Sudan.”

30. “As the implementation of the provisions of the agreement moves forward, the United Nations will have the opportunity to collaborate in other very important areas, among them the drafting of contingency plans and capacity-building for the Government of Southern Sudan so that it can offer the basic services that its population requires. The drafting of comprehensive contingency plans at the national level must be a priority of the Organization in the coming months. Whatever the end result of the referendum, the international community must stand ready to respond rapidly and effectively to any scenario.”

31. “Nonetheless, and mindful of the resources at the disposal of UNMIS, we must not forget that all efforts must be accompanied by the protection of civilians and the facilitation of the delivery of humanitarian assistance, since both are complementary to the success of the election process and the outcome of the voting. The parties must have a clear vision of the framework to govern relations among them following the referendum. The international community must do all in its power to facilitate dialogue among the parties and to offer its assistance when requested in order to achieve a satisfactory agreement prior to the ballot.”

32. “Nonetheless, important elements of the Agreement remain unfulfilled due largely to a lack of trust among the signatories. That is the first obstacle that we must overcome in the coming months if we want to prepare the conditions for holding a successful referendum. We agree that the priority of the United Nations Mission in the Sudan (UNMIS) in the coming months must be the preparation for the referendum. The logistical and security support that the Mission can offer the parties is critical to ensuring comprehensive and peaceful participation. The lessons learned from the recent election process, especially with respect to voter registration and the transportation of equipment, will allow the Mission to better respond to the difficulties on the ground.”

33. “Six months before the holding of the national referendum, the situation is a major challenge not only to the country, but also to the international community, which is responsible for ensuring the well-being of the Sudanese people. Hence, a timely and coordinated response is expected from the United Nations and its partners in order to avert any possible return to the armed conflict faced by thousands of Sudanese for more than two decades. Today, we are analysing the different options for cooperation with the Sudan. Although points of view may differ with respect to identifying priorities, the common denominator remains ensuring a better future for the Sudanese people through peace, dialogue and mutual respect among the parties. The parties have made some significant progress since the implementation of the CPA began.”

We are grateful for their briefings, since they all symbolize the work of the international community. Their actions with respect to the situation in the Sudan are invaluable contributions to the work of this Council in the search for peace and justice in that country. As has been noted, the Sudan is facing a defining moment for its future. As we move towards the completion of the transitional period established by the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), the challenges to consolidating peace and stability throughout the country remain extensive.”

In that context, Mexico is convinced that the creation of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the Middle East, as emphasized at this year's NPT Review Conference, should be part of a broader political understanding guaranteeing peaceful coexistence among the sovereign States of the region, including a future Palestinian State, and addressing the legitimate security concerns of those States.”

41. “In our view, recent diplomatic initiatives on this matter are insufficient because they do not include a clear commitment to putting an end to nuclear-material enrichment activities and do not address the concerns of the international community. It is spurious to say that we are faced with an ultimatum or a dilemma between a peaceful solution and the use of force. In fact, after three rounds of sanctions, the path of dialogue with Iran remains open. A diplomatic solution is not incompatible with the adoption of sanctions, when the situation calls for it, and sanctions in no way close off dialogue and negotiation. Mexico considers that the agreement we have reached is balanced.”

42. “We reaffirm the importance of continuing to deal with the Iranian nuclear case through dialogue and the importance of Iran continuing to cooperate with the IAEA to clarify pending questions about its nuclear programme in conformity with Security Council resolutions. Today, we voted in favour of a resolution imposing sanctions on specific individuals and entities, sanctions that do not seek to harm the general population. These sanctions target nuclear proliferation activities and are completely reversible if the Government of Iran meets the requests of the Security Council. We urge the Government of Iran to meet those requests.”

43. “And Iran must also comply with the resolutions of the Security Council, with an express and above all verifiable renunciation of the possession of nuclear weapons. The Iranian Government must make every effort to redress the shortfall of confidence that a large portion of the international community feels with respect to the lack of transparency in the development of Iran's nuclear programme. This would unquestionably contribute to dialogue and cooperation as a way of resolving disputes in the region. It is Iran, not the Security Council, that must earn the trust of the international community.”

44. “The case of Iran is not a new one for the Security Council, and unfortunately it is difficult to dissociate the debate on its controversial nuclear programme from its foreign policy pronouncements which run counter to the Charter of the United Nations and which give rise to concern and mistrust among a large portion of the international community. The peaceful use of nuclear energy must be accompanied by a commitment - freely undertaken by each State - to respect the legal obligation not to carry out any activity related to a nuclear programme that has purposes other than peaceful ones. Iran must comply more transparently with the decisions of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), responding to all requests for information on its nuclear programme.”

Mexico is deeply commited to nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation and the peaceful use of nuclear energy - the three pillars of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
