“We continue to believe that peace can return to Darfur, especially in the light of the 30 November briefing by the Joint African Union-United Nations Chief Mediator for Darfur (see S/PV.6227), whom we fully support, on the next stages of the political negotiations, and in the light of the important report of the African Union High-Level Panel on Darfur, chaired by President Thabo Mbeki (S/2009/599, annex I). We shall have an opportunity to consider that report later this month. We also welcome the positive cooperation between those two entities and between them and the ICC Prosecutor. Finally, we appeal once again to the parties to strictly respect the lives of civilians and humanitarian 20 and peacekeeping personnel and to provide unimpeded humanitarian access to all populations.”

“Hence, it is crucial to take advantage of opportunities to bring about political normalization and thus to make decisive strides towards peace, which is a common objective of Security Council resolutions and the relevant decisions of African Union bodies. We therefore continue to believe that the issuance of that arrest warrant can only further complicate the peace process and the efforts of the Security Council and the African Union. As we have always stressed, that position implies no value judgement on the substance of the issue; it is an firm invitation to give both justice and the political process a chance.”

“Yet, like many other members of the international community which belong to the African Union, the League of Arab States, the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the Non-Aligned Movement, my country is concerned by the impact of the arrest warrant issued against President Al-Bashir. Indeed, although it is true that combating impunity is a vital element in the restoration of lasting peace to Darfur and to the Sudan in general, it is also true that, in the absence of a consensus political solution, attaining the objective ofjustice cannot alone bring peace in such a complex conflict.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Burkina Faso. I thank Mr. Luis Moreno-Ocampo, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), for his briefing. My delegation regrets that, in spite of the significant efforts of the entire international community, peace has not yet returned to Darfur. Civilians, humanitarian and peacekeeping personnel, refugees and displaced persons continue to face daily violence. Since 1 June 2005, the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICC has initiated three major cases related to the conflict in Darfur. Burkina Faso reaffirms its confidence in an independent international system of criminal justice and acknowledges that the ICC prosecutions were initiated pursuant to Council resolution 1593 (2005).”
