  1. “We call on all relevant actors in Haiti to act and take a courageous step for the good of their country. The people of Haiti deserve no less. Bold, urgent action must be taken before Haiti passes the point of no return.”

  2. “The unanswered calls of the international community and of the Haitian people for a political breakthrough serve only to condemn more people to food insecurity; more communities to the scourge of gang violence; more women, girls and LGBTIQ+ individuals to sexual and gender-based violence and more children to a life dominated by fear. Time and again, we have heard that political settlement is possible. Yet the people of Haiti are sentenced to endure further suffering due to the lack of political will. Peace, stability and dignity cannot be assured for the Haitian people without a sustainable, inclusive political solution, owned and led by the Haitian people. That solution should lead to the restitution of a functioning Government, a functioning legislature and a functioning judicial system.”

  3. “Its actions hold communities back from the brink, while maintaining families on the edge of survival. Those desperate and life-saving efforts require the continued support of the international community. The humanitarian response remains less than half funded, and more lives will be lost without increased support to actors on the ground. Thirdly, the prolonged suffering of the Haitian people will persist without an immediate and sustainable political resolution. Ireland reiterates its urgent call to political actors in Haiti to set aside their vested interests, enmity, division and personal gain and come together in solidarity to take action that is, finally, in the best interests of the Haitian people.”

  4. “The people of Haiti will know peace only when the State regains control of the national territory. Ireland welcomes efforts in that regard to provide support to the Haitian National Police. Secondly, a humanitarian catastrophe is in evidence in Haiti. The most recent update on conflict and hunger, issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Food Programme, underlined what we already knew — an increasing number of Haitians have been driven to catastrophic levels of food insecurity and famine-like conditions. People are dying from lack of food, lack of water and lack of access to basic services. Ireland commends the efforts of the humanitarian community, which has stayed and delivered in the face of intimidation, kidnappings and violence.”

  5. “First, there has been no end or respite to the savage control and repression exercised by criminal gangs against the Haitian people. Each day sees an increasing toll of violence, kidnappings and systematic rape and murder. The use of sexual and gender-based violence as a weapon against an already traumatized community is abhorrent. Ireland again condemns such violence in the strongest terms. Those responsible must end their onslaught against the Haitian people. Those responsible must be brought to justice. Haiti’s leaders from all sides need to come together to end the cycle of violence and impunity, which has plagued Haiti for too long. While we welcome the end of the blockade of the Varreux terminal, which liberated some supply of fuel into Haiti, it does not signal a return to law and order.”

  6. “I thank Deputy Secretary- General Mohammed and Special Representative La Lime for their sobering briefings, and Mr. Ives for his analysis. I would also like to thank the Permanent Representative of Gabon for his first briefing as Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 2653 (2022), concerning Haiti. I also wish to acknowledge the presence in the Chamber of the Foreign Minister of Haiti and the Foreign Minister of the Dominican Republic, as well as the Ambassador of Canada. In the two months since we last met (see S/PV.9153), there have been few positive developments in Haiti. Instead of the progress called for and that the Haitian people so desperately need, we have seen a further entrenching of violence and deprivation. I wish to speak about three areas of enduring concern.”

  7. “In conclusion, Ireland reaffirms its steadfast commitment to achieving justice for all victims and survivors of atrocity crimes in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. As we leave the Council, we will continue to support the work of the Mechanism and its vital role in ensuring that perpetrators of international crimes are held to account.”

  8. “Last Friday marked the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime. By remembering the events of the past and honouring the victims and survivors of genocide, the international community signifies its commitment to “never again”. It is therefore deeply worrisome that genocide denial, historical revisionism and the glorification of convicted war criminals continue to gain momentum, as reported by the President and the Prosecutor. Ireland again condemns genocidal ideology, the denial of crimes and the glorification of war criminals, including by high-level officials. Ireland also strongly supports the Mechanism’s role as a preventive tool against future acts of violence. That includes educational initiatives funded by the European Union.”

  9. “Separately, Ireland welcomes the tireless efforts of the Mechanism, as well as the assistance afforded by Member States, to track the four remaining fugitives. Ireland regrets that the situation of the eight acquitted or released individuals relocated from Arusha to Niamey in December last year has yet to be resolved. We share the Mechanism’s concern that the situation continues to have a serious detrimental impact on the rights of the relocated persons who are living under de facto house arrest. We also note the impact of those developments on the Mechanism’s workload. We call on the Niger and the States concerned to respect the decisions of the Tribunal and to abide by the terms of the relocation agreement. We also commend the Registrar for his continued efforts to find a viable solution to the problem.”

  10. “Cooperation is essential in ensuring that the Mechanism can fulfil many of its mandated functions. We recall that States have an obligation to cooperate with the Mechanism in its investigations and prosecutions. While we welcome the progress detailed by the Prosecutor, I want to reiterate today our deep concern about Serbia’s persistent failure to arrest and surrender Petar Jojić and Vjerica Radeta — despite the fact that Serbia has been referred to the Security Council for non-cooperation on three occasions. We urge all States to comply with their obligations under international law, as well as to cooperate fully with and assist the Mechanism in its efforts to arrest and surrender the remaining fugitives.”

  11. “At the outset, I would like to extend Ireland’s congratulations to Judge Gatti Santana on her appointment as President of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals. I also want to thank both the President and Prosecutor Brammertz for their comprehensive briefings today. We commend the Mechanism for the progress achieved across its judicial functions, as well as other key areas of its mandate, during the reporting period. That output is all the more impressive given that downsizing and budgetary constraints form an ever-present backdrop to the Mechanism’s operations. We also thank the President for elaborating the three core priorities of her presidency. Ireland very much welcomes the focus on steering the Mechanism through the next phase of its lifespan, one focused on its long- term residual activities.”

  12. “If the Council is serious about maintaining international peace and security, it needs to foster an effective working relationship with the Court. We therefore urge everyone here today to consider ways of acting on the recommendations in that document. Victims and survivors everywhere, including in Libya, deserve nothing less.”

  13. “We therefore call on the Libyan authorities to provide access to documentation relevant to the Office of the Prosecutor’s investigations and ensure prompt responses to all requests for assistance submitted by the Office. We also support the Prosecutor’s call for prompt responses to all visa applications submitted by the Office and for engagement with the relevant technical authorities in Libya, including those involved in forensics and crime scene analysis. Before concluding, I want to recall that earlier this year, Ireland, together with 11 co-sponsors, hosted an Arria Formula meeting on strengthening the relationship between the Court and the Security Council. In September we published the Chair’s summary of that meeting, proposing a range of possible ways to enhance cooperation between those two bodies.”

  14. “We would also like to acknowledge the continued assistance provided by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya to the Office, particularly with respect to the missions of both the Prosecutor and Deputy Prosecutor. However, more progress is necessary. We urge Libya to comply with its obligation to cooperate with the Court, including in relation to the execution of the outstanding arrest warrant against Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi. The fact that Prosecutor Khan is joining us today from Libya is a welcome sign of positive cooperation with the Libyan authorities. We acknowledge the willingness of senior political and prosecutorial figures to engage with his Office, while remaining cognizant of the need for sensitivity to victims’ concerns, but we need to see more concrete action.”

  15. “We welcome the Office of the Prosecutor’s maintenance of a constant presence in the region during the reporting period and the provision of additional resources for its investigative efforts, including experts on sexual and gender- based violence. Those actions have enabled the team to increase their contact with victims, survivors and witnesses and accelerate evidence-collection efforts. We also commend the Office’s efforts to coordinate its investigative activity with third States and international agencies. Cooperation with the joint team investigating crimes against migrants has already yielded tangible results, with the Office of the Prosecutor assisting in investigations that have seen two suspects extradited from Ethiopia to Italy and the Netherlands.”

  16. “The report also finds that there are reasonable grounds to believe that crimes against humanity are being committed against migrants and those in detention centres. That reinforces Ireland’s view that the Security Council’s referral of the Libyan situation to the International Criminal Court (ICC) is critical not just for accountability for international crimes, but for long- term peace and stability in the country. We know that the operational, security and political environment in which the Prosecutor’s Office is operating in Libya is very challenging. We are therefore pleased with the progress that the Prosecutor has made in implementing his renewed investigative strategy over the past six months and the transparency with which he has documented those steps.”

  17. “We thank Prosecutor Khan for his report and briefing today. I also welcome the Permanent Representative of Libya to today’s meeting. Without accountability for international crimes, even the strongest democracy will wither in time. Impunity undermines efforts to resolve conflict, perpetuating cycles of violence. Accountability for atrocity crimes should therefore be central to Libya’s pursuit of peace and democracy. Regrettably, however, impunity continues to prevail. Ireland notes with concern the most recent report of the Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Libya (A/HRC/50/63), which highlights examples of persistent impunity, including for serious violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, and reports of grave and endemic sexual and gender-based violence.”
