  1. “In recent years, as host of the agreement signed in 2021 with the facilitation of Norway, Mexico has reactivated the negotiation and dialogue process between the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the opposition grouped in the Unitary Platform of Venezuela which resulted, just a few days ago, in very important agreements. Mexico is also one of the guarantor countries of the peace dialogue between the Government of Colombia and the Ejército de Liberación Nacional and will host the fifth round of talks. The international community is at a historic juncture in which today more than ever it must reaffirm and strengthen the rule of law and commit to the peaceful settlement of disputes. Mexico once again reaffirms its commitment to international law, multilateralism and dialogue.”

  2. “And we will continue to promote the inclusion of jurisdictional clauses in favour of the International Court of Justice in the multilateral treaties that we are negotiating. A cursory review of the most recent cases that have been referred to the International Court of Justice shows the importance of having such jurisdictional clauses to activate the jurisdiction of the supreme global tribunal. In line with its desire to serve the best causes of humankind, Mexico has offered its evidence and its experience in the peaceful settlement of disputes, which in the 1980s brought extremely positive results for the pacification of Central America within the framework of the efforts of the Contadora Group.”

  3. “Mexico reiterates its support for the work of the International Court of Justice, which, as a universal tribunal, plays a fundamental role in the peaceful settlement of disputes. Therefore, since 1947, we have recognized its compulsory jurisdiction. Taking into account the central role of the International Court of Justice, both in contentious and advisory matters, it is surprising that, to date, only 74 States have accepted the jurisdiction of the Court, including only one permanent member of the Security Council. We therefore solemnly call on those that have not yet done so to take that important step in favour of ensuring peace through the law. In that connection, Mexico supports the declaration on promoting the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice, an initiative of Romania.”

  4. “That position in favour of the peaceful settlement of disputes was further consolidated in 1948 with the signing of the American Treaty on Pacific Settlement, known as the Pact of Bogota. Similarly, in the past decade, our region has appealed 15 times to the International Court of Justice, which demonstrates the confidence placed in the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. In the inter-American context, solid institutions have been established, especially for the protection of human rights. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights have become indispensable points of reference at the national, regional and international levels and guarantors of democracy and the rule of law.”

  5. “Mrs. Jiménez Alegría (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): It is through dialogue, the exchange of ideas, the exercise of listening to other points of view, that peace is built. The peaceful settlement of disputes is nothing other than the acceptance of the other as one accepts oneself. Latin America and the Caribbean is a region characterized by its commitment to multilateral diplomacy and the use of good offices, mediation and jurisdictional institutions to settle its differences. To give one example, it was in Central America that the first standing international tribunal, the Central American Court of Justice, was created at the beginning of the twentieth century by the Washington Peace Conference to resolve conflicts in the subregion.”

  6. “In the context of commenting on the latest update on the work of the Residual Mechanism, as a non-permanent member of the Security Council Mexico reaffirms its support for and commitment to accountability, truth and justice.”

  7. “In that regard, we condemn the propagation of narratives that deny the commission of atrocities punishable under international law and that glorify war criminals. In 2022, there is no place for divisive narratives that incite hatred. We urge the States concerned to actively promote actions to counter such messages, in particular to strengthen the promotion of education to combat racism and discrimination. Almost three decades after the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, Mexico acknowledges the contribution of both Tribunals, as well as the Residual Mechanism, to international justice.”

  8. “We also underscore the value of cooperation between the Office of the Prosecutor and the national authorities responsible for the procurement and dispensation of justice, as it is those authorities that must continue to work to combat impunity for crimes committed both in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. Regarding the contempt cases, we want to once again express our concern about the failure to comply with arrest warrants, and we reiterate our call for their enforcement. Last week, we commemorated the seventy-fourth anniversary of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of This Crime.”

  9. “case and acknowledge the efforts of all actors involved in the issuance of the appeal judgment. We take note of the commencement of the trial in the Kabuga case and the appeal proceedings in the Stanišić and Simatović case. We are sure that they will be conducted efficiently and expeditiously. Regarding the situation of the four fugitives, we highlight the work of the Prosecutor’s Office in following up on those cases and acknowledge the progress made in locating one of the fugitives. Mexico considers their arrest and prosecution under Rwandan jurisdiction to be a priority. We would like to remind everyone that cooperation in locating fugitives is not optional, but an obligation in accordance with Council resolutions.”

  10. “Mrs. Jiménez Alegría (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): We thank President Gatti Santana and Prosecutor Brammertz for their report, and we welcome the President of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals to the Security Council for the first time. We are confident that under her leadership the Mechanism will continue to work effectively to fight impunity. We also welcome the delegations of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Rwanda to this meeting. We take note of the priorities identified by the President, particularly the actions she has launched since taking office to develop a comprehensive strategy for guiding the Residual Mechanism towards an effective and efficient conclusion. Regarding the Mechanism’s judicial functions, we welcome the conclusion of the Fatuma et al.”

  11. “In particular, it is key to share intelligence and pool efforts to combat the exploitation and trafficking of natural resources, which provide armed groups with the means to carry out criminal activities and terrorize the civilian population. We believe that the adoption of the Kinshasa declaration on enhancing regional judicial cooperation is a step in the right direction towards combating those criminal networks. We urge all signatories to work towards its implementation in a coordinated manner.”

  12. “Thanks to that initiative, the joint permanent commission between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo was reactivated 10 years after its last meeting. In that regard, we also acknowledge the work that the Peacebuilding Commission has carried out in the countries of the Great Lakes region. The investment of the Peacebuilding Fund in projects in the region has helped to strengthen the participation of women and young people. In addition to addressing the structural causes of violence, the countries of the Great Lakes region must strengthen their cooperation to combat illicit arms trafficking and the networks funding armed groups.”

  13. “We reiterate our call for that force to coordinate with the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the national security forces. We believe that, in order to end the cycle of violence in the region, military cooperation must be accompanied by strategies that promote economic development. The implementation of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes is also essential to advancing stability and preventing setbacks. We acknowledge the good offices of the President of Angola, Mr. João Lourenço, whose role was instrumental in getting the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda to commit to improving their bilateral relations through the Luanda road map.”

  14. “The continued activities of armed groups, such as the Coopérative pour le développement du Congo, the Allied Democratic Forces, the Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda, and in particular the strengthening of the Mouvement du 23 mars in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo are of great concern owing to both the impact on the civilian population and the regional tensions that they create. In that regard, we acknowledge the regional efforts to respond to the escalating violence, in particular the Nairobi process, led by Kenya in the context of the East African Community. We note the recent signing of the status-of-forces agreement between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Secretary-General of the East African Community, which provides the basis for the deployment of the regional force.”

  15. “Mrs. Jiménez Alegría (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): We thank Special Envoy of the Secretary- General Huang Xia for his briefing. We welcome the participation of the representatives of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and South Africa at this meeting. It is clear that almost 10 years after its adoption, the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Region continues to be an integral component in addressing the shared challenges in the region.”
