1. “Mr. Rogachev (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): In today's global world, the fabric of international relations is ever more complex. The primary actors continue to be States; however, non- governmental organizations (NGOs) and other elements of civil society are increasingly involved in international activities. As a result, the challenges facing the United Nations in the areas of security and the peaceful settlement of conflicts are becoming more complex. International peace and security are being understood ever more broadly and, in particular, are acquiring an intra-State dimension. I am thinking, for example, of situations involving massive and blatant human rights violations.”

2. “We view that as a strong signal that we should not delay the work of the Tribunals. Perhaps, given that situation, the Council should seek alternative solutions. We would like to hear the View of the Tribunal officials on that issue.”

3. “The Security Council has already repeatedly extended the deadline for nominations, but the number of candidates is still much lower than the minimum required by the ICTY Statute for the holding of elections. This gives us cause for serious concern, since the ability to involve ad litem judges in trials in a timely manner is of great importance for maintaining the pace of the Tribunal's work, and, in the final analysis, for the successful implementation of its completion strategy. Unfortunately, no views were expressed here regarding the reasons for that. In our View, the Security Council should have a clear understanding of whether the prestige of the Tribunals' judges has been diminished, and of why this is happening. We would explain that phenomenon by the international community's fatigue with regard to ad hoc tribunals.”

4. “On the whole, we are convinced of the need to seek out those individuals who have been indicted and are accused of committing crimes that fall under the jurisdiction of the ICTY and the ICTR, and we are prepared to further render assistance to the Tribunals in completing these tasks. In conclusion, I would like to mention one current issue: the forthcoming election of ad litem judges to the ICTY. As members know, 11 June marked the expiration of the term of office of the judges in that category, with the exception of nine judges who, pursuant to Security Council resolution 1581 (2005), will continue their work until the conclusion of the cases on which they are engaged.”

5. “We look forward to its successful work. The Tribunal and the States of the region should intensify their cooperation in expediting the transfer of defendants to the judicial bodies of other countries, in particular Croatia and Serbia and Montenegro. In that regard, we have great expectations with regard to strengthened cooperation between States and the Tribunals. This pertains first and foremost to the ICTY, which at previous stages has had particular difficulties in that regard. Regarding the Russian Federation, official information transmitted to Russia on the alleged presence on its territory of individuals sought by the ICTY will be brought to the attention of the authorities immediately; the search is under way. At present, endeavours are taking place to search for Djordjevic and Zelenovic.”

6. “We continue to advocate the mobilization of all resources and the use of all possibilities to ensure scrupulous implementation of the completion strategies of the Tribunals within the time frame set by the Security Council. In that connection, we welcome the establishment of the two Working Groups of Judges. One way in which the Tribunals could be helped to meet the completion strategies' time frame would be the creation of conditions for the transfer of medium and low-level defendants to national courts. In that connection, I would like to point out the growing efforts to strengthening the capacity of the judicial bodies of the republics of the former Yugoslavia. We welcome the inauguration on 9 March of the War Crimes Chamber of the State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina to which the ICTY has already referred one case for consideration.”

7. “Mr. Rogachev (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): At the outset, the Russian delegation too would like to express its gratitude to the Presidents and Prosecutors of both Tribunals for today's briefings and for the reports submitted to the Council, pursuant to resolution 1534 (2004). On the whole, we agree with the positive evaluations of the Tribunals' activities, and we note with satisfaction that since the last Security Council discussion, in November 2004, of the implementation of the completion strategies of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), there has generally been a marked improvement in effectiveness in all key areas.”

8. “General policy support in the implementation of all these tasks should be provided by the Security Council, with a key role being played by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Children and Armed Conflict, in particular with respect to assisting in the establishment and coordination of activities linked to child-related monitoring mechanisms and better targeting of outreach, advocacy and in-country work.”

9. “It is important also that efforts in that area be appropriately coordinated to avoid redundancies. It must be underscored that all the efforts of the international community will be in vain without the active involvement of national Governments, which bear the primary responsibility for addressing the entire range of problems related to safeguarding and protecting the rights of children. We share the view expressed in the report that it is key to take into account the child factor in the mandates of peacekeeping missions, particularly with respect to the establishment of child protection adviser posts and to ensuring access for humanitarian agencies to zones of conflict, separating civilians from combatants, and maintaining the civilian nature of facilities accommodating refugees and internally displaced persons.”

10. “One should also bear in mind not only the involvement of children in armed conflict but also the efforts that will be needed in future to rehabilitate and reintegrate them in order to prevent minors from becoming anti-social members of society. There are fears that a child traumatized by war, a child who knows nothing other than hatred and violence, may not be prepared to live normally, in conditions of peace and legality. For those reasons, we support the efforts of the Secretary-General to identify those parties to armed conflicts that continue the pernicious practice of using child combatants. In that connection, it is necessary to determine our position as to the legally correct interpretation of the mandate of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, in order to avoid any broadening of its interpretation.”

11. “Mr. Rogachev (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): We are gratified, Sir, that you have decided to personally take part in today's open debate of the Security Council, convened on the initiative of Benin, on this important question. We welcome the report of the Secretary-General prepared for this meeting of the Security Council, and we would like to touch on several points that, in our View, are of paramount importance - above all, the problem of the use of child soldiers by various non-State armed groups. We firmly condemn the recruitment of child soldiers and believe that the perpetrators must be brought to justice.”
