  1. “Finally, we reject and condemn all types of attacks perpetrated against the facilities and personnel of international organizations that are present in Kosovo and call for due respect for those persons and for their work, in particular that of EULEX.”

  2. “Colombia welcomes the initiative taken by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Kosovo and UN-Women in lending their support to the entity for gender equality under the Office of the Prime Minister, with the aim of designing an action plan for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). In turn, we also recognize the work of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and its partners in implementing outreach activities addressing displaced persons, both within and outside Kosovo. We also wish to express our support for a regional perspective aimed at resolving the problems, and in particular, for the actions of the European Union in bringing about a rapprochement between Pristina and Belgrade, and for the involvement of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in that process.”

  3. “Colombia calls upon the parties to adopt measures to reduce tension and to avoid the eruption of a new crisis, as well as to work with the necessary political resolve based on previous agreements, bearing in mind that that is the only true way towards peace. We condemn violent activities that are aimed at intimidating communities, as happened to Kosovo Serbs in the municipality of Kline/Klina and in the village of Drenovc/Drenovac. We call upon the authorities and the communities to work towards reconciliation and peaceful coexistence among all inhabitants of Kosovo.”

  4. “Colombia recognizes and supports UNMIK's important role and believes that, in defining its priorities, the Mission must continue to promote security, stability and respect for human rights in Kosovo and the region through its cooperation with the parties involved and with regional and international agencies. UNMIK's work is essential in persuading the parties of the need to show moderation in their statements and to promote the dialogue that will make it possible to achieve sustainable solutions to the disputes. With regard to the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX), Colombia supports the joint efforts that have been made by that Mission and by the Kosovo authorities in order to implement the rule of law in Kosovo and reduce the level of impunity.”

  5. “Mr. Quintana (Colombia) (spoke in Spanish): Iwish to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary- General for the information that he has provided to the Council today, which supplements that contained in the Secretary-General's report (S/2012/603) concerning the recent progress made in the implementation of the mandate of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). I would also like to welcome the presence of His Excellency Mr. Ivica Dacic', Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia, and His Excellency Mr. Hashim Thaci, Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo.”

  6. “We are pleased to observe that the various bodies of the United Nations are taking the necessary steps to guarantee the efficient and orderly conclusion of the mandates of the Tribunals and to ensure the appropriate functioning of the Residual Mechanism established by the Council. We will spare no effort to continue working towards that end.”

  7. “We believe that, consistent with their clear intention to close that chapter in the history of hatred and violence in that region of Africa, the Council should reiterate its call for all States to cooperate effectively with the Tribunal and, in particular, for those States responsible for ensuring the arrest of the fugitives and for handing them over to the Tribunal to fulfil their obligations under the resolutions according to which that body was established. The International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda constitute the primary vehicle through which the Security Council has channelled the will of the international community to end impunity for atrocious crimes of international magnitude.”

  8. “There are two aspects related to the Tribunal for Rwanda that my delegation believes we should consider. First, we are concerned by the situation of people who have been exonerated by the Tribunal and who are supposed to be relocated, because it has not been easy to find countries willing to welcome them on their territory. The President of the Tribunal has said that that is a persistent problem that he is going to make vigorous efforts to resolve. We believe that the Security Council could support President Joensen with respect to that matter by sending a clear signal that the fate of those individuals is a concern for all of us. Secondly, in contrast with the Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, some of those accused by the Tribunal for Rwanda have yet to be captured even though there is relatively exact information on their whereabouts.”

  9. “In particular, we commend the Secretary-General for his willingness to facilitate the hiring of trainees or interns, who now have valuable experience in the workings of both Tribunals that otherwise could have been lost. The Office of Legal Affairs also deserves commendation here, since it is the determination of their officials that has made it possible to have near-complete versions of the various legal instruments required for the functioning of the Residual Mechanism. That is the case with respect to the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, the Secretary-General's bulletin on the archives of the Tribunals and the Mechanism, and the headquarters agreements for the host countries of the two branches of the Mechanism, in Arusha and The Hague.”

  10. “We believe that in the past few months in particular both bodies have worked diligently to implement Council decisions relating to the completion of their mandates. Of particular importance is the compendium of administrative measures adopted with a view to reducing the length of trials, which has meant that several of them have been able to either begin or conclude earlier than planned. We are therefore very close to meeting our common objective of concluding all Trial Chamber cases before the Tribunals before the end of this year and to deal with all possible appeals by the end of 2014. In practical terms, we note that the Fifth Committee has approved the budget for the first biennium of the Residual Mechanism and that modest progress has been made with regard to ensuring the retention of Tribunal staff.”

  11. “Mr. Quintana (Colombia) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to thank the Presidents and Prosecutors of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) for their briefings, and we congratulate them on the efforts that both Tribunals have made to implement the completion strategies adopted by the Council and ensure an expeditious transition to the Residual Mechanism. Our thanks also go to the delegation of Guatemala, whose work in chairing the Informal Working Group on International Tribunals has considerably facilitated the progress that has been made in this area. My delegation is convinced that both Tribunals have provided an invaluable service to the cause of international justice and the maintenance of international peace and security.”
