  1. “We need to make sure that the rule of law prevails and that there is full accountability for the atrocities committed. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I now give the floor to President Vučić.”

  2. “We strongly urge Serbia to fulfil its obligation to comply with the latest warrants by the Mechanism from May 2019 to arrest, detain and transfer the accused to the custody of the Mechanism. We further refer to reported delays in responses from Serbia to requests for assistance from the Office of the Prosecutor in relation to court-ordered investigations, and call on Serbia to resolve the backlog of responding to the Office and to cooperate in a timely manner. I conclude by extending our gratitude to the President and Prosecutor of the Mechanism and their staff for their outstanding work. We recall that international criminal justice and the fight against impunity relies on collective efforts. The international community and the Council have to put the victims and survivors first.”

  3. “Finally, the Security Council received a communication from the President of the Mechanism on non-compliance by Serbia in executing the arrest warrants for Petar Jojić and Vjerica Radeta. Resolution 1966 (2010) clearly stipulates that all States shall cooperate fully with the Mechanism, in accordance with the resolution and the Statute of the Mechanism annexed to the resolution. It also clarifies that all States shall take any measure necessary under their domestic law to implement the provisions of the resolution and the Statute. Estonia condemns the ongoing disregard by Serbia of its obligations under international law to comply with the Mechanism’s orders.”

  4. “We note that the progress in national justice initiatives has been slower in recent years and call on States to increase their efforts in that regard. Estonia is deeply concerned about the ongoing denial of the genocides in the situations under the jurisdictions of the Mechanism. This must stop. Estonia remains concerned about the challenges that the Office of the Prosecutor of the Mechanism continues to face in relation to cooperation with national authorities in apprehending the remaining fugitives. We strongly urge States, especially the African States where fugitives are suspected of being at large, to intensify their cooperation with the Mechanism in order to arrest and surrender all of the remaining fugitives.”

  5. “Ratko Mladić pronounced today, upholding the judgment of life imprisonment for the crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and laws or customs of war. We also note the ongoing pre-trial phase of the recently captured Félicien Kabuga, in line with an amended indictment. We thank the President of the Mechanism for the efforts to secure the relocation of the nine acquitted and released persons currently residing in Arusha, Tanzania. We call on all stakeholders to step up cooperation to facilitate this resettlement in a safe and speedy manner. We welcome the efforts of the Mechanism for assistance provided to national jurisdictions prosecuting international crimes committed in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda.”

  6. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Estonia. I thank Judge Carmel Agius, President of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals and Prosecutor Serge Brammertz for the detailed progress reports submitted to the Security Council and for the informative briefings today. We express our condolences for the passing, in February, of Judge Gberdao Gustave Kam of Burkina Faso, who had served with distinction as a Judge of the Mechanism since 2012. We commend the work of the Mechanism and positively note the continuation of its judicial activities despite pandemic-related constraints. We especially note the expected delivery of three judgments during the month of June, including the judgment in the appeal case of Prosecutor v.”

  10. “There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. I would like to thank the interpreters and the Secretariat for staying with us a bit overtime. The meeting rose at 1.35 p.m.”

  11. “Unfortunately, I have to remind all representatives that we went beyond the time limit 10 minutes ago. The rule 37 speakers have not even started to speak, but we will lose interpretation in 20 minutes. I now give the floor to the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic.”

  13. “My second question pertains to the accusations and notifications of terrorist use of chemical weapons in Syria. Can Mr. Arias walk us through how those notifications are dealt with by the OPCW and what have been the outcomes? I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I will now give the floor to the briefers to respond to the questions posed and comments made, bearing in mind that they will also have an opportunity to make further comments in the consultations that follow this meeting. I now give the floor to Mrs. Nakamitsu.”

  14. “Impunity, tolerance and inaction cannot be an option when chemical weapons are used against civilian populations. I will conclude by expressing Estonia’s full support for the professional and impartial work of the OPCW Technical Secretariat and for its leadership and experts. For the past seven years, they have been under intense scrutiny, but have shown nothing less but integrity and dedication to the task of upholding the norm against the use of chemical weapons. I take this opportunity to also pose a couple of questions to Mr. Arias. Several of our colleagues have already raised the question of cooperation. The fact is that, after seven years, the Syrian declaration remains open. My question is: what are the main obstacles that prohibit making tangible progress in resolving the outstanding issues concerning the declaration?”

  15. “It is regretful that the deployment of the Declaration Assessment Team for the next round of consultations is on hold pending Syria’s response. Given the seriousness of the outstanding issues, we hope that the consultations between the OPCW and Syria can take place soon. We should not forget that chemical weapons are a particularly gruesome and indiscriminate type of warfare. That is why they were comprehensively outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention. That is why the Security Council determined in resolution 2118 (2013) that the use of chemical weapons anywhere and by anyone constitutes a threat to international peace and security and expressed its strong conviction that those individuals responsible for the use of chemical weapons must be held accountable. The Security Council must live up to its words.”

  16. “A new outstanding issue has been opened with regard to the finding of a neat chemical warfare agent. Sufficient explanation is still lacking with regard to a detection of a Schedule 2.B.04 chemical at the Barzah facilities. Those are not just minor technical or theoretical issues but indicate that Syria has not declared and destroyed all its chemical weapons and their production facilities and continues to pose a threat to international peace and security. The second report of the Investigation and Identification Team, which affirmed all together now the eighth instance of chemical weapons use by the Syrian regime, is the latest reminder of that. There is no hiding the fact that there are serious shortcomings in Syrian cooperation with the OPCW.”

  17. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Estonia. I thank High Representative Izumi Nakamitsu and the Director-General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), Mr. Fernando Arias, for their briefings. We appreciate their participation today and the opportunity to have a transparent and open discussion with them about the progress in the elimination of the Syrian chemical weapons programme. The most recent — the ninety-second — monthly report of the Director-General (see S/2021/446) raises several concerns in reflecting very little progress, if not even regress, in the efforts to close the gaps, inconsistencies and discrepancies in the initial declaration. There are unanswered questions pertaining to a former chemical-weapons production facility.”

  20. “In accordance with rule 37 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite the representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Syrian Arab Republic and Turkey to participate in this meeting. In accordance with rule 39 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite the following briefers to participate in this meeting: Mrs. Izumi Nakamitsu, United Nations High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, and Mr. Fernando Arias, Director-General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. Director-General Arias is joining today’s meeting via video-teleconference from The Hague. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda.”
