  1. “Nonetheless, we commend the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the ICTR and the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals for their continued efforts for justice and accountability for genocide and mass atrocities, and we hope that all legal proceedings will be completed very soon to enable the affected victims to turn the page on that dark period of their history.”

  2. “Indeed, the ICTR records constitute an integral part of Rwandan history, are vital to the preservation of the memory of the genocide and will play a critical role in preserving current and future generations from genocide denial and revisionism. We hope that all stakeholders will understand our request and act accordingly. I will conclude by recalling that this year is the twentieth anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica. Like the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, efforts to address the genocide in Srebrenica have faced similar problems, mainly related to delayed justice and the scourge of genocide denial.”

  3. “While the procedures of two cases referred to Rwanda in 2012 and 2013 are well advanced, we are extremely concerned at the delays encountered in the investigations into the two cases referred to France in 2007, which are those ofWenceslas Munyeshyaka and Laurent Bucyibaruta. We call on the French authorities to expedite the investigations and proceedings in both cases. Rwanda has, on many occasions, expressed its view that the ICTR archives, although the property of the United Nations, should be located to Rwanda upon completion of the mandate of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals.”

  4. “It is worth noting that those fugitives include the tycoon Fe'licien Kabuga, whose son-in-law, Paulin Murayi, is financially supporting the Forces democratiques de liberation du Rwanda, a movement that spread genocide ideology and engaged in related activities in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Given the material evidence recently unveiled by the Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we hope that his name, as well as others, will soon be included on the United Nations list of sanctions, as requested by my country. Regarding the monitoring of the four cases referred to national courts, we regret that the report under review (S/2015/340, enclosure) and the oral statements that were made this afternoon do not provide enough detail on the status of those cases.”

  5. “As we look forward to the conclusion of the Butare case by the Appeals Chamber, which was unnecessarily delayed, we note that the 93 individuals indicted for genocide were mainly the masterminds of that crime, as well as national and local leaders who were out of reach of Rwandan justice, as they were international fugitives. We regret, however, that nine fugitives are still at large and reiterate our call to Member States, especially those in our region, to collaborate in arresting all remaining genocide fugitives, as per resolution 2150 (2014).”

  6. “We note with satisfaction that, since the unanimous adoption of resolution 2150 (2014) of 16 April 2014 on the prevention and fight against genocide, reports on the completion strategy of the ICTR use the correct terminology, consistent with the ongoing jurisprudence of the Tribunal, which refers to the specific ethnic group that was the target of the genocide in Rwanda. Indeed, as we have said and repeated in this Chamber, the expressions "Rwandan genocide" and "genocide in Rwanda", used by many of those around this table, are unfortunately misused by deniers of all kinds to try to confuse the Council and the whole world as to which group was targeted by the genocide.”

  7. “As the Tribunal is winding down, we express our belief that the ICTR has played an important role in the fight against impunity for mass atrocities, but also produced a substantial body of jurisprudence, including definitions of the crime of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and forms of responsibility, such as superior responsibility. Most importantly, the Tribunal established that the genocide that occurred in Rwanda was against the Tutsi as a group, and also ruled that acts of rape and sexual violence constitute genocide if committed with the intent to destroy the targeted group.”

  8. “At the outset, let me congratulate you, Sir, on Malaysia's assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of June. Let me also congratulate the delegation of Lithuania on the excellent work done during their presidency in the month of May. I thank Judges Meron and Joensen and Prosecutors Jallow and Brammetz for their respective briefings. The world commemorated the twentieth anniversary of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda last year, in April 2014, and marked the twentieth anniversary of the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in November of the same year.”
