  1. “May I again thank our four visitors, Judge Pocar, Judge Mose, Prosecutor Del Ponte and Prosecutor Jallow, for taking the time to brief the Security Council. There are no further speakers inscribed on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The meeting rose at 1.55 pm.”

  2. “The transfer of cases from the Tribunals to the national jurisdictions was a point mentioned by many speakers and is an essential element in the completion strategies. But of course it needs to take place in the context of capacity-building with those jurisdictions, and with full respect for the human rights of the indictees. President Pocar mentioned the issue of the consolidation of cases before the ICTY and the need to ensure fair procedures. I believe that is an issue that could be taken up by the Security Council's working group on tribunals. If he is able to return to New York, perhaps in January the current presidency of the Security Council would be happy to explore with the incoming presidency, Tanzania, whether they might consider holding such a meeting under their presidency.”

  3. “I think we have had a very useful debate. On behalf of the Council I would like to thank again Presidents Pocar and Mose and Prosecutors Del Ponte and Jallow. I think it is fair to say that the members of the Council have encouraged both Tribunals to consider pursuing their completion strategies vigorously. I think they heard that in no uncertain terms today. It is clear, to all Council members that the transfer of Ante Gotovina to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) is a very significant step. There is a continuing need for full cooperation by States in the region to ensure the transfer of the remaining indictees, including Karadzic and Mladic to the ICTY and Kabuga to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR).”

  4. “Time is moving on, but we need to give an opportunity to our two Tribunal Presidents and our two Prosecutors to respond, if they wish, to comments and questions raised. I give the floor to Judge Mose.”

  5. “Finally, we recognize the efforts made to transfer cases from the Tribunal to domestic jurisdictions and steps taken in the area of national capacity-building. Capacity-building is vital to ensure that the necessary standards of fair trial, independence and full respect for human rights are complied with in national trials. 1 now resume my functions as President of the Council. I call first on those States invited under rule 37 to take a seat at the Council table.”

  6. “Turning next to residuary issues, we note that the workload of the Appeals Chamber is set to increase dramatically in the near future. That will have a significant impact on the Tribunal's closing date, and we encourage the secretariats of ICTY and ICTR to take steps now in order to plan for this and the other residuary issues that will be faced by the Tribunals. We are pleased that the Registrars and the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs are taking the initiative in this regard now. Turning, finally, to cooperation by Member States with respect to at-large indictees, Member States must continue to support the ICTR in practical as well as financial terms. In particular, States must meet their obligations in arresting indictees at large, including Felicien Kabuga, and transferring them to the court's jurisdiction.”

  7. “However, we have real concerns regarding slippage in the 2008 deadline for completion of trials and the risk of backlog on appeals developing. Turning, secondly, to the ICTR, we welcome the news, confirmed this morning by Prosecutor Jallow, that the court is still on course to complete all trials by the end of 2008. The continued increase in throughput of trials is encouraging. It underlines to the international community that the ICTR is making good progress. That the Tribunal is operating at full trial capacity is testament to the hard work and dedication of its staff. It is encouraging that the completion strategy is at the heart of the Tribunal's overall management. Prudent steps, such as the use of redeployment to cover projected staff increases in growth areas, will give confidence to the donors.”

  8. “It is high time that this take place, as this year is the tenth anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre and the Dayton-Paris Accords. Turning, secondly, to the progress of trials and the functioning of the Tribunal, we are pleased to see the increasing productivity of the ICTY, including its caseload, judgements rendered and cases transferred to Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. We welcome the numerous capacity-building initiatives that ICTY personnel have put in place to strengthen the local judiciaries of the former Yugoslav countries. We are grateful for the extensive efforts made by all court organs to implement significant new practical and legal measures to expedite proceedings. It is important that the court achieve its mandate within the time-frame and budget agreed.”

  9. “As Prosecutor Del Ponte noted this morning, this clearly illustrates that a policy of robust conditionality works and that where the fugitive indictees are located, the full engagement of national authorities in the western Balkans is critical for their arrest. Full cooperation remains an ongoing obligation for all States in the region, and we call on Serbia and Montenegro and on Bosnia and Herzegovina, in particular Republika Srpska, to follow Croatia's example and to fulfil their responsibilities to the international community, in accordance with resolutions 1503 (2003) and 1534 (2004). In that respect, the swift arrest and transfer to The Hague of all remaining outstanding fugitive indictees, notably Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic, is absolutely key.”

  10. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of the United Kingdom. First of all, we thank the Presidents, Judge Pocar and Judge Mose, and the Prosecutors, Carla Del Ponte and Hassan Jallow, for their reports and presentations this morning. In particular, we congratulate President Pocar on his election as the President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), and I am sure that we will continue the excellent cooperation that we have enjoyed with his predecessor, Judge Meron. Turning first of all to the ICTY and the question of indictees and cooperation, it is, of course, excellent news that Ante Gotovina has now been arrested, and we welcome the participation of the Croatian authorities and the swift action of the Spanish authorities to transfer him to The Hague.”
