  1. Finally, we wish to register our appreciation of the cooperation between the ICTR and the ICTY and the Office of Legal Affairs in doing the necessary work in preparation for the Residual Mechanism, including the preparation of a joint budget and the work on the rules of procedure.

  2. South Africa stresses the importance of cooperation with the Tribunals, in accordance with the respective statutes, in particular article 28 of the ICTR statute and article 29 of the ICTY statute, and the relevant Security Council resolutions. We especially stress the obligation to cooperate with the Tribunals in effecting the arrests of those wanted. This year, we have seen substantial progress in that regard with the arrest of the key indictees Bernard Munyagishari, Ratko Mladie and Goran Hadzic'. We urge Member States to step up efforts to locate, capture and, ultimately, surrender the remaining nine fugitives to the ICTR.

  3. Our delegation remains concerned about the unwillingness of Member States to enter into agreements with the ICTR for the transfer of individuals who either have served their sentences or have been found not guilty. We urge Member States, particularly in the immediate region and where family members of the individuals are located, to consider reaching such agreements with the Tribunals. We welcome the report that, in July, one convicted person was transferred from Arusha to a Member State. We also express our appreciation to the Government of Tanzania for its willingness to provide facilities in the interim, in particular safe houses.

  4. That should remind us of the urgency of bringing the remaining cases to a close as soon as possible. We strongly support the need to provide sufficient resources to the Tribunals to assist them in completing their work. We recognize the difficulty in retaining staff as the Tribunals begin to wind down their work and staff search for stable employment elsewhere. We therefore remain committed to exploring innovative ways to retain competent staff members, including through incentives, as appropriate. One important way to assist the Tribunals in completing their work is through the referral of cases to relevant and appropriate domestic jurisdictions. We have noted the applications to refer cases to Rwanda and the decision of the ICTY to refer a number of cases involving low- and middle-level accused to national courts in the regions.

  5. Allow me to thank President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) Judge Theodor Meron and President of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda Judge Khalida Rachid Khan for their briefings. We also express our gratitude to the Prosecutor of the ICTY, Mr. Serge Brammertz, and the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), Mr. Hassan Jallow, for their interventions. We note the progress made by the two Tribunals to complete the cases before them. We are encouraged by the efforts that the Tribunals have made to ensure the completion of their work in time for the start of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals. In the course of the month, the General Assembly will elect the 35 members of the Residual Mechanism.
