“We welcome the efforts of regional organizations, including the African Union, the Economic Community of Central African States and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, as well as of neighbouring countries and the Community of Sant'Egidio, which will continue to be crucial to supporting the political initiatives for peace and cooperation aimed at a lasting reconciliation process through African solutions for Africans, in full respect for the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the Central African Republic. We also support the National Recovery and Peacebuilding Plan and the Framework for Mutual Engagement between the Central African Government and the international community.”

“In view of the difficult period that the Central African Republic is going through, which can only get worse if instability continues and peace is not established, we urge the international community to contribute to the support needed for the disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and repatriation process for former combatants.”

“In April alone more than 40,000 people were internally displaced as a result of the violence in the north-eastern and south-eastern regions of the country. According to the Secretary-General's latest report (S/2017/473) the total number of displaced persons increased from 401,000 in February to 426,000 in March. Violations of international human rights law and humanitarian law have exacerbated the situation. Hundreds of men, women and children have become victims of sexual violence, human trafficking or arbitrary arrest or detention. Bolivia urges all armed groups to lay down their weapons. We call on all the parties to the conflict to set aside their sectarian interests, whatever they are, in order to avoid creating obstacles to productive dialogue and to enable them to build on efforts to restore stability to the country.”

“Bolivia demands that anyone accused of sexual exploitation be duly investigated by the appropriate authorities and prosecuted in accordance with the seriousness of the crime, in order to ensure that such violence does not go unpunished. The violence in the Central African Republic has had serious humanitarian consequences. According to information provided by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, approximately 50 per cent of the population has been affected by clashes between armed groups. One in four health-care facilities have been destroyed and two out of three people have no access to health services. Food insecurity affects one in four people and a disturbing total of 2 million are now at risk. One in five people have also been forcibly displaced.”

“In that regard, Bolivia condemns the attacks by armed groups on civilians and on the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA). We acknowledge the difficult challenges that the country is facing in the process of restoring stability, which must be achieved through inclusive dialogue and serious, sustained commitment from the parties to the conflict. We deeply regret the deaths ofMINUSCA personnel and citizens of the Central African Republic that have occurred as a result of the violence. We commend the work of the men and women of MINUSCA, who are fulfilling their mandate in a hostile and unstable environment. We also firmly condemn any sexual exploitation or abuse by any of the parties to the conflict, including Mission personnel.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the Plurinational State of Bolivia. Bolivia would like to thank Mr. Parfait Onanga- Anyanga, Special Representative of the Secretary- General for the Central African Republic, for his briefing. We also thank Mr. Andrew Gilmour, Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights, and Mr. Marco Impagliazzo, President of the Community of Sant'Egidio, for their valuable participation. We are concerned about the continuing violence perpetrated by armed groups in the Central African Republic, which affects not just the parties directly involved in the conflict but is also seriously harmful to the civilian population, in particular those who are most vulnerable, including women and children. It is also making the humanitarian situation even worse.”

“In full respect for its obligations as a State party to the Rome Statute of the ICC, Bolivia supports efforts to achieve justice and combat impunity. We therefore call on all States that have not yet done so to ratify the Rome Statute so as to ensure its universal jurisdiction. In that regard, we believe that the value of the principle of the universality of international criminal justice is essential. The debate on impunity for perpetrators of crimes against humanity is undermined by the relative capacities of the International Criminal Court due to the non-ratification of the Rome Statute by certain parties. That weakens the effectiveness of its work. We cannot have a sincere dialogue so long as there are countries that insist on the full rigour of the law yet do not meet their own international obligations.”

“Both recent reports of the Secretary-General and the UNAMID strategic review, and even the Prosecutor's own report, recognize that progress. Bolivia believes that we have arrived at this point mainly thanks to the joint efforts of regional organizations, the Government, the Secretary- General and UNAMID. It is important to highlight that the evolution and future of international criminal justice are closely linked to State cooperation and complementarity. The International Criminal Court is a complimentary tribunal to States' primary sovereign prerogative to administer justice on its territory. Therefore, in addition to ensuring timely and effective trials, they must establish local capacities. That is an indicator which, in the case of Darfur, should be considered with special attention after more than a decade of conflict.”

“We believe that cooperation with the African Union is essential in that regard. We are aware of its undeniable commitment to the fight against impunity, as set out in its Constitutive Act. We also recall that the African Union has established a ministerial committee to address issues pertaining to this case. In the same vein, we call for establishing a constructive dialogue between the African Union and the International Criminal Court in order to generate trust and facilitate work between both institutions. We have seen positive developments taking place in the Sudan over recent months, including a significant decrease in clashes between the Government and rebel groups and an improvement in the Government's cooperation with the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID).”

“We hope that and other consultations will facilitate both States' duties to cooperate with the Office of the Prosecutor as well as the Court's legal tasks. We also hope they will contribute to the international community's efforts to strengthen political processes, in this case when it comes to the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur. It is also important to recall that when the Security Council referred the situation in Darfur to the International Criminal Court - by way of resolution 1593 (2005) - it not only decided to activate the Court's jurisdiction to try individuals, it also encouraged the Court to support international cooperation to promote the rule of law, protect human rights and combat impunity, while also emphasizing non-judicial activities, such as promoting peace and reconciliation and strengthening institutions.”

“That is important element in achieving stable and lasting after several years of conflict in the region. While we express our support for the work of the International Criminal Court, we also recognize that some of the difficulties encountered by the Prosecutor's Office have brought to light legal conflicts, such as the one pertaining, on the one hand, to the privileges and immunities enjoyed by State officials under customary international law and, on the other, the provisions of article 27, paragraph 2, of the Rome Statute. Such difficulties could give rise to problems in States' carrying out cooperation tasks with the International Criminal Court. At the request of South Africa, the issue is currently the subject of consultations at The Hague between the Court and a working group of the Rome Statute Assembly of States Parties.”

“I shall now make a statement and my capacity as the representative of the Plurinational State of Bolivia. At the outset, Bolivia is grateful for the briefing by Ms. Fatou Bensouda, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, in connection with her twenty-fifth report in compliance with resolution 1593 (2005). We listened carefully about the progress made in investigating alleged crimes and about the difficulties the Office of the Prosecutor has encountered with regard to investigations and legal activity, both of which are linked to situations that make it difficult to comply with the mandate entrusted to her. Bolivia believes that those who have attacked civilians in Darfur, violating their human rights as well as international law, must account for it brought justice.”

“In that connection, we highlight the fact that there is a need to focus on investigations into the use of financial safe havens for the funding of terrorism. In addition, we should take effective measures with regard to returning foreign terrorist fighters, as well as on countering terrorist propaganda. At the same time, however, we think it is crucial that we not forget some of the structural causes of terrorism and the evolution, in this instance, of ISIL/ Da'esh. Interventionist and regime-change policies are among the causes behind the wave of terror we are experiencing in many countries today. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. The meeting rose at 11.50 am.”

“We therefore urge Council members to join efforts to combat that human scourge. We welcome the fact that United Nations Member States and regional, subregional and international organizations are continuing to develop and strengthen new tools to improve the response to those rapidly evolving threats from ISIL/Da'esh and from foreign terrorist fighters. However, we believe that is not enough. We urge that States provide adequate humanitarian protection and assistance to refugees fleeing from conflict zones, including support in connection with the increase in migratory flows owing to the impact of ISIL/Da'esh in such areas. Finally, Bolivia supports the various initiatives put forward at this meeting, in particular those relating to cutting off financing for terrorism.”

“The finances of Da'esh have been reduced somewhat, but they have compensated by imposing additional taxes over the populations it controls and via trafficking in smuggled antiquities and agricultural products, selling electricity, extracting minerals, "foreign donations" and kidnapping for ransom and human trafficking, in addition to selling hydrocarbons. We also condemn the destruction of, and trafficking in, cultural heritage - directly or indirectly - as well as, among others, the destruction of archeological sites, museums and libraries, which generates income for this terrorist group's recruitment and strengthening. It is all the more worrying that the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict has documented cases of "selling, gifting and trading" of women and children among fighters.”

“Remembering the places in which hundreds of people have lost their lives and others have been injured reminds us of the fact that we are facing a global threat that requires a global response. The briefing by Under- Secretary-General Feltman, which showed that ISIL has suffered setbacks in many areas of conflict, was very timely. Bolivia is increasingly alarmed about the new ways in which ISIL/Da'esh is developing in terms of how it is carrying out its attacks and the countries in which it is doing so, above all with regard to financing. We must remember that ISIL/Da'esh has used its propaganda and information technology in order to attract sympathizers and to mount attacks in countries where it resides, focusing on methodologies to develop improvised explosive devices.”

As I was listening, I heard many of us remembering the areas that have been targets of terrorist attacks in recent months: Berlin, Istanbul, Kabul, Baghdad, Melbourne, Mogadishu, Saint Petersburg, Stockholm, Alexandria, Manchester, Paris, Manila, London and Tehran.”

“In conclusion, we believe that such developments should encourage the actors and parties involved in the Libyan Political Agreement to redouble their efforts and take a decisive and resolute step towards agreement and consensus, which would enable them to conclude a peaceful, inclusive and orderly political transition, by and for the Libyan people, which respects the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Libya. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Libya.”

“Similarly, we are very concerned about the incident that occurred on 18 May at Brak Al-Shati, which resulted in summary executions, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. We remind all actors and parties concerned that the only solution to the conflict is through a political transition, which has already begun and must continue. We therefore urge them to stop the fighting and relinquish any approach that calls for the use of weapons as a method to settle this or any other conflict.”

“We commend the work of regional and international actors to enhance coordination efforts in support of the political process and help Libya in its transition to democracy, such as the meeting held in Brussels on 23 May by the European Union, the African Union, the League of Arab States and the United Nations. We are also especially alarmed by the plight of internally displaced persons. According to a report issued by the International Organization for Migration on 2 June, the more than 250,000 internally displaced persons are, to a large extent, the result of ongoing clashes among the various armed groups. Unfortunately, that is a clear illustration of the widespread violence in Libya.”

We believe that those awareness-raising activities are clear testimony of the efforts made by the Tribunal to ensure the right to truth, justice, reparations for harm caused, keeping memories alive and most of all to ensure that such events are never repeated, and that in all circumstances dialogue and conciliation should be used to resolve conflicts, as set out in the Charter ofthe United Nations. Finally, Bolivia looks forward to the events that will take place in December both in The Hague and in New York prior to the closure of the Tribunal, as well as the high-levels symposiums that will mark the end of 24 years of work.”

“Against this backdrop, and in order to ensure that the Tribunal can fully discharge the mandate conferred upon it by the international community and complete the remaining cases by December 2017, as set out in the completion strategy, it is vital that all States cooperate with its work. We listened very carefully to the update on Judge Aydin Sefa Akay, which is a very delicate case when it comes to the work of the Mechanism. We hope that a swift resolution to this issue can be found. We also pay tribute to the dedicated work of the staff of the Tribunal through the lifetime of its mandate and reiterate that its cooperation and assistance will be key also during its drawdown period. We deem it important to ensure that the Tribunal has the resources necessary to facilitate the work of the Mechanism and the closing of the Tribunal.”

“It is important to underscore that the establishment of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, through resolution 827 (1993), of 25 May 1993, and of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, through resolution 955 (1994), of 8 November 1994, have contributed significantly to justice through the fight against impunity and have played a key role in restoring the rule of law in the countries of the former Yugoslavia and in Rwanda. In the more than 20 years that both Tribunals were up and running, the international community saw that they represented a key element in the quest for justice. As they have done a great deal of work, the Security Council must provide them the necessary support so that they can conclude their mandate, and also urge the Mechanism that it assist in this process in the best possible conditions.”

“We are grateful for and acknowledge their work done over the years as well as UNOCI's contribution in terms of lessons learned, which are an important contribution to United Nations peacekeeping missions. We commend the countries, regional and multilateral organizations, including the African Union and the United Nations Office for West Africa, the United Nations agencies and country teams, and all those countries that contributed military and police contingents that assisted day after day in bringing peace to this kindred country. Without the cooperation and work of these organizations, the objectives of UNOCI would have been difficult to achieve. Proof of this is the certification of the 2010 election results by the African Union, at the request of Cote d'Ivoire, and the peace agreements signed through that organization.”
