  1. “We must now take advantage of the resulting favourable environment in order to further promote cooperation among States, which is essential to facilitate first-instance trials and appeals on the one hand and transfers to national jurisdictions on the other. While we welcome the cooperation with the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the arrest of Bernard Munyagishari last May, we encourage the countries neighbouring the Great Lakes region and those of southern Africa to step up their cooperation with the Rwanda Tribunal in order to facilitate the arrest of the nine fugitives and implement the completion strategy. Without effective judicial and penal institutions such as the International Criminal Tribunals, the combat against impunity and the strengthening of international criminal justice would be fruitless endeavours.”

  2. “We are convinced that all of these efforts will enable a smooth transition to the Residual Mechanism adopted by the Security Council in its resolution 1966 (2010). Our debate is taking place at a time when important developments in terms of combating impunity have just taken place. The successive arrests, on 26 May and 20 July 2011, of Ratko Mladie and Goran Hadzie represent an important milestone for international criminal justice and for the victims. Those arrests are evidence of Serbia's determination to mercilessly combat impunity in the country. Gabon welcomes the determination and cooperation that the Serbian Government has shown.”

  3. “Mrs. Onanga (Gabon) (spoke in French): On behalf of my delegation, I should like to thank the Presidents and the Prosecutors of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) for their respective presentations on the implementation of their completion strategies, in line with resolutions 1503 (2003) and 1534 (2004). I should like also to congratulate His Excellency Ambassador Jose Filipe Moraes Cabral on the skill with which he is steering the Informal Working Group on International Tribunals. My delegation welcomes the progress made in the implementation of the completion strategy and commends the strong determination of the Tribunals' Presidents, Prosecutors, judges and staff to ensure the swift completion of their work.”

  4. “This request is justified by the fact that the capacities of the two existing Trial Chambers are limited and at saturation point because of the very great increase in the number of persons charged and held. The decision to increase the number of Trial Chambers of the Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia will make it possible to improve the functioning of the Tribunal, particularly its capacity to try cases. The Council will recall that two weeks ago, through resolution 1165 (1998) of 30 April 1998, it decided, for similar reasons, to create a third Trial Chamber for the International Tribunal for Rwanda. For all these reasons, the delegation of Gabon can only vote in favour of the draft resolution before us.”

  5. “Ms. Onanga (Gabon) (interpretation from French): The serious human rights violations in the former Yugoslavia in 1991 called for a response from the international community, and in particular the United Nations. Thus five years ago, on 25 May 1993, Security Council resolution 827 (1993) provided for the establishment of an international Tribunal to try persons presumed to be responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. Gabon reaffirms its full support for this special Tribunal. In his letter of 5 May 1998, the Secretary-General, referring to the letter of 16 April 1998 from the President of the Tribunal, asked for a third Trial Chamber to be established.”
