  1. “We welcome those developments. Implementation, however, has not progressed as planned, and those authorities are not yet functioning institutions. The people of Darfur have yet to see tangible improvements to their lives as a result. We once again look to the Government of the Sudan to demonstrate its commitment to the Doha Document. We hope that the high presidential committee will expedite its implementation. We urge the Government to deliver its funding commitments to the Darfur Regional Authority, allowing it to establish well-structured and well-resourced institutions, delivering for the people of Darfur before they lose hope in the Doha Document. We urge those movements that have not signed the Doha Document to support its implementation and to engage constructively in the peace process.”

  2. “I thank Mr. Moreno-Ocampo for his report, for setting out the action that the International Criminal Court (ICC) has taken over the past seven years on Darfur and for briefing us on the latest developments in the work of the Court on this matter. The United Kingdom continues to support that work and, as his time in office comes to an end, I commend the Prosecutor and his team for their efforts in pursuit of justice for the victims of this conflict. The last six months have not seen as much progress in Darfur as we had hoped. The inauguration of the Darfur Regional Authority in February was an important step towards the implementation of the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur, as was the establishment of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission, the Darfur Land Commission and the National Human Rights Commission.”

  3. “Regretfully, we note that once again the ICTR report (see S/201l/731) states that there will be a short delay in the Ngiraba1ware trial. The United Kingdom remains concerned about the impact that further delays will have on the Tribunal's ability to meet the deadlines that have been agreed in the completion strategy. To address that issue, we encourage both Tribunals to explore ways to share best practices, in an effort to avoid further slippages. It is also important for the continued success of the completion strategy that lower level cases be transferred smoothly to national jurisdictions under Rule 11 bis.”

  4. “Furthermore, to try to tackle the difficulties related to staff retention, we believe that it would be appropriate to revisit the interpretation of the regulations applying to the six- month prohibition on hiring people who have served as interns. In supporting that action we note that there would be no financial implications for the United Nations. Moving on to the ICTR, we remain concerned by the number of indictees that remain at large. The Tribunal's mandate cannot be completed until all of those individuals are apprehended. We encourage all United Nations Members, especially Kenya and Zimbabwe, to provide the Tribunal with their full cooperation, in order to ensure that all individuals are brought to justice.”

  5. “That remains an essential part of the European Union accession process. We note the difficulties that have been highlighted as a result of the Tribunal's staffing levels and we are mindful of the extra burden that this has placed on the current staff members. We remain grateful for their ongoing efforts and understanding. The level of staffing in both Tribunals will continue to be an issue as they each complete their work. Until a solution is found for that problem, we encourage the Tribunal to prioritize its staffing resources as effectively as possible. We support the efforts of President Meron to reassign ad litem judges to address the large number of contempt cases and we welcome the assurance that such reassignments will not result in the extension of the terms of office of those judges.”

  6. “We encourage the Serbian authorities to continue their good work and ensure that all people found to be responsible for supporting a former fugitive be held accountable for their actions. In general we are pleased with the levels of cooperation that have been provided by Croatia. As with Serbia, Croatia's ongoing cooperation with the Tribunal remains essential. We also share the concerns that the report raises on the greetings sent by Prime Minister Kosor to Generals Gotovina and Markae, both of whom have been convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity. We reiterate the importance of Croatia demonstrating full cooperation with the Tribunal. In that regard, we note that the European Union Commission's monitoring will focus in particular on commitments undertaken by Croatia in the area of the judiciary and fundamental rights.”

  7. “We would like to praise the Serbian Government, police force and judiciary for the apprehension and transfer of Goran HadZie and Ratko Mladie. As the report states (see S/201l/716), those arrests represent important milestones for the Tribunal and for international justice. It is important that the work of the ICTY be organized efficiently over the coming months, to take account of the extra work that those cases will generate. The arrest and transfer of both Mladie and Hadzie are evidence of Serbia's continued commitment to cooperating with the Tribunal and are indeed milestones for international justice. However, it is important that Serbia's support continue. Questions remain on how it was possible for two high-profile fugitives to evade capture.”

  8. “I would like to begin by expressing the United Kingdom's continued support for both the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). Their work is essential to combat impunity and deliver justice to Victims in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. I would like to thank President Meron and President Khan and Prosecutors Brammertz and Jallow for their very comprehensive briefings and reports. Furthermore, while congratulating and welcoming Judge Meron on his return to the office of President of the ICTY, I would also like to express our thanks to Judge Robinson for his years of service as President. We wish him well for the future.”
