  1. “We reiterate our commitment to the high ideals of international criminal justice and the eradication of impunity, and we will continue to implement the recommendations of the Joint Kenya- ICTR Task Force and the resolutions of the Security Council.”

  2. “This underscores Kenya's commitment to and seriousness in the apprehension of all perpetrators of the various crimes covered by the treaty and their extradition to Rwanda to face justice. My Government calls upon any person, institution or other actors with information relating to the whereabouts of the fugitive, whether in Kenya or in any other country, to provide such information forthwith to the ICTR, INTERPOL or any other investigative agency in Kenya and elsewhere to facilitate the expeditious apprehension of this indictee so that he can face justice. I wish to conclude my remarks by re-emphasizing that, in the Kabuga case, the Government of Kenya has fully discharged its international obligations and cooperated with the ICTR officials, as called for by the Security Council.”

  3. “Several steps have been taken in a bid to trace Mr. Kabuga, including the establishment of a joint Kenya-ICTR task force, obtaining a freeze order on property registered in the fugitive's name and offering cash rewards for anyone giving information that would lead to his arrest. The search for Mr. Kabuga should therefore be widened to other areas, because we might be over-concentrating on Kenya whereas the fugitive could be comfortably living elsewhere. On 30 September 2009, as part of its continuing and unreserved commitment to the work of ICTR, Kenya concluded an extradition treaty with the Republic of Rwanda that provides, inter alia, for the extradition of Rwandans suspected of having committed genocide.”

  4. “We note with disappointment that, despite Kenya's demonstrated support and cooperation with the Court since its inception, both the President and the Prosecutor, in their addresses this morning before the Council, have continued to insinuate that Kenya is either hiding fugitive Kabuga or is otherwise refusing to fully discharge its obligation vis-a-vis his arrest. My delegation strongly refutes that allegation and reiterates that that fugitive is not in Kenya. The Kenyan Government's efforts in cooperating with the ICTR are not in doubt. My country has worked closely with the Tribunal. In that regard, we have arrested and surrendered to the ICTR the largest number of indictees. Kenya has also played a major role in the relocation, protection and facilitation of movement of witnesses for the Tribunal.”

  5. “To that end, the cooperation of Member States is vital if the courts are to succeed in carrying out their mandates. Kenya is fully aware of its international obligations and continues to stand ready to offer its maximum cooperation in that connection. As we have stated on previous occasions, Kenya supports the case put forward by the President of the ICTR on behalf of ad litem judges. We urge that there be an urgent resolution of that matter. My delegation now wishes to comment on the work of the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICTR, and in particular on the issue of referrals. In paragraph 54 of the report on the activities of the ICTR (see S/2009/587, enclosure), it is implied that Kenya continues to provide safe haven for Felicien Kabuga.”

  6. “I wish to express my appreciation to you, Mr. President, and the other members of the Council for allowing me to participate in the proceedings of the Council today and to make my short statement. Kenya appreciates the work of both the Presidents and the Prosecutors of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), as well as the manner in which they have conducted the affairs of their respective Tribunals. We strongly support the international criminal justice system. We recognize that the ad hoc criminal Tribunals established by the Council and the International Criminal Court must provide for, and protect, the proper administration of justice by prosecuting those who promote impunity.”
