  1. “We shall spare no efforts to assist Iraqis in building their joint future and in promoting national reconciliation so that they might restore the peace and security to which they have a right within the framework of a united State, rich in its diversity.”

  2. “Mr. Renie (France) (spoke in French): First of all, I would like to welcome the presence at this meeting of the Security Council of the Iraqi Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Hoshyar Zebari. France is gratified by the adoption of the resolution that we have just adopted, which marks a new stage in the return to full sovereignty for Iraq and which, in particular, marks here the end of the mandate of the multinational force in Iraq. France, which is devoted to the unity, sovereignty and integrity of a democratic Iraq, will continue to support the efforts of the Iraqi Government, together with all of the actors involved, to take all necessary measures to demonstrate that Iraq has become a State like any other.”

  3. “On the basis of the joint document circulated by the Tribunals, the Council and the Tribunals must also seriously carry out the work that must be done to identify the legacies of the Tribunals and the decisions that need to be taken with regard to residual functions that must be continued following the completion of their work. That work is highly technical and must be done very methodically, in full cooperation with the staff of both Tribunals. Finally, I would like to thank Ms. Del Ponte, who is leaving her post and who has expressed her disappointment. I think that the work she has done for many years on behalf of both Tribunals will allow her to leave with a clear conscience.”

  4. “Insofar as the Tribunals have been asked to take every step in their power to respect the deadlines, those deadlines are nevertheless guidelines. Certain elements - including, for example, the arrest and transfer of fugitives - are outside their control. It is crucial and necessary that justice be done with regard to those bearing the greatest responsibility. In that connection, I would like in particular to reaffirm the commitment of France to ensure that Mr. Kabuga, Mr. Karadiie and Mr. Mladic' be handed over to justice. We also emphasize the importance of cooperation by countries of the regions concerned in that regard. We take note of the information provided with regard to not meeting deadlines. We ask the two Tribunals to do everything they can to reduce delays as much as possible.”

  5. “It emphasized the need for the international community to help strengthen the capacity of the national jurisdictions concerned so that they could deal with the cases referred to them. We have heard today briefings by the Presidents and Prosecutors in which they took stock of the efforts made to speed up and improve procedures. We also heard statements regarding certain requirements pertaining to the use of human resources, in particular as regards ad litem judges and the organization of appeals chambers. Lastly, we have taken note of references to judicial considerations that may hinder the meeting of the deadlines set by the Council for the completion of work. We are committed to respecting those deadlines as much as possible. Resolution 1534 (2004) underscored the importance that the Council attaches to the deadlines.”

  6. “They have been at the forefront of international criminal justice, which we expect both to punish those who commit especially horrible crimes and to deter others from doing so in the future. We are not here today to take stock of the Tribunals' work, but we can affirm that they have met our expectations of them. In 2003 and 2004, the Council identified the time frame for the completion strategy for the work of the Tribunals. It asked the two Tribunals to take every step in their power to stay within their deadlines. It also urged all States, in particular those of the regions concerned, to cooperate fully with the Tribunals in order that they may complete their work within the time specified.”

  7. “Mr. Renie (France) (spoke in French): First of all, I should like to thank Presidents Pocar and Byron and Prosecutors Del Ponte and Jallow for their detailed briefings and for the effective work they and their teams have been doing at the head of both Tribunals. When it acted under Chapter VII by creating the two International Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the Council sought to send a clear message to the entire international community that there would be no impunity for the most serious crimes committed against humanitarian law, genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes. Almost 15 years later, we are able to commend the manner in which both Tribunals have contributed, in their respective fields of competence, not only to rendering justice, but also to easing tensions and restoring peace and security.”
