  2. “It is therefore crucial that the Council ensures that a peace will be durable, which, in cases of suspected genocide, war crimes and other forms of mass atrocities, can only be attained through the rule of law and achieving justice. One of the ways thatjustice can be achieved is by referring certain cases to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Bosnia and Herzegovina joins the countries that have requested a more efficient follow-up to the Council's referrals to the ICC. Establishing accountability and achieving justice are preconditions for success in peacebuilding and reconciliation processes, as well as for durable and stable peace and security in conflict and post-conflict situations.”

  3. “Zlatko Lagumdzija, said: "Speaking from the lessons learned in my country - from Tomasica to Srebrenica - the international community needs to introduce a code of conduct in working methods of the Security Council that, through the refraining from the use of the veto in cases of mass atrocities, will strengthen the international community's capacity, responsibility and commitment to protecting civilians." In that regard, we also support the work of the United Nations Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide. In accordance with the Charter, the Security Council is responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security.”

  4. “One month ago, during the high-level week, Ministers gathered to support the French initiative on the voluntary commitment of the Permanent Five to refrain from using the veto in situations of genocide and mass atrocities.

  5. “On implementing the peacekeeping mandates with more efficiency, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as a police contributor, encourages frequent regular briefings and consultations and more interactive dialogue by the Council with troop- and police-contributing countries, as outlined in the note by the President contained in document S/2013/630. For 14 years, Bosnia and Herzegovina has engaged in peacekeeping operations. Until now, we have had 212 police officers, including female officers, participating in United Nations operations. Currently, 47 police officers from Bosnia and Herzegovina, 21 per cent of whom are female, have been deployed in United Nations peacekeeping missions in Liberia, South Sudan and Cyprus.”

  6. “We call upon Council members to fulfil their commitments set forth in that note, as it supports maintaining regular communication with the Peacebuilding Commission and the Chairs of the country-specific configurations, enhancing cooperation with regional and subregional organizations, and encouraging the subsidiary bodies to improve the transparency of their activities. With respect to non-members' contribution to the Council's work, Bosnia and Herzegovina's experience in the 1990s, when the first Arria Formula meeting was organized, indicates that civil society and non-State actors can contribute significantly to the understanding of certain situations. We therefore invite Council members to intensify informal forms of dialogue with non-members, particularly in the form of Arria Formula meetings.”

  7. “With regard to increasing transparency and interaction with non-Council members and bodies, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as former Chair of the Informal Working Group, has raised the issue of increasing transparency in the Council's work and has suggested to Informal Working Group members that they consider the idea of holding regular briefings on Security Council working methods for States that are not members of the Council. Keeping in mind the complexity of promoting such an initiative, I wish to congratulate Argentina on its able stewardship of the Informal Working Group, which resulted in the note by the President contained in document S/2013/515.”

  8. “At the outset, I wish to thank you, Madam President, for organizing this important debate on the working methods of the Security Council. I would also like to congratulate you, Madam President, for Argentina's very active and successful two-year chairmanship of the Informal Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Questions. I would also like to thank the Ombudsperson, Ms. Kimberly Prost, and Ms. Fatou Bensouda, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, for their respective comprehensive briefings.”
