  1. “We appeal to all States to fully cooperate with the Tribunals, specifically in bringing the fugitives to justice, as that is crucial to the achievement of the strategies. My delegation would not want to see any further adjustment to the completion strategies.”

  2. “Most of all, sincere and committed support for the people who choose to build their own future and their own processes for reconciliation and healing is likewise needed. It is important to recognize that, in the long run, there can be no reconciliation without justice. For only if there is justice can social healing occur. My delegation congratulates the Tribunals on carrying out their work at full capacity and integrating time-saving measures that do not detract from the international standards of justice and due process. My delegation is fully cognizant of the challenges and difficulties in achieving the completion strategies, specifically the requirement for the completion of all trials in accordance with the Tribunals' respective mandates.”

  3. “My delegation believes that the international criminal tribunals represent forums - and even symbols - of transitional justice whose verdicts need to be consolidated through national prosecutions. The restoration of law and justice must then be founded and affirmed in national communities through their laws, courts and constitutions. My delegation is aware that issues of justice, healing, reconciliation and accountability need to be addressed in a way that is owned by and rooted in the affected communities. Mechanisms for ensuring the engagement and participation of stakeholders across the affected countries are essential. Building peace and reconciliation and healing the effects of war and violence will require sustained efforts over time.”

  4. “These, as well as the adoption of measures to regulate the pre-trial process and to restrict the number of interlocutory appeals have greatly contributed to the efficiency of the working methods of the Rwanda Tribunal. We laud all the efforts of the two Tribunals in referring middle- and low-level cases to competent national jurisdictions and undertaking measures to build the local capacity of national courts. While the principal judicial purpose of the two Tribunals has been to recover the universality and equal application of the law, both have also been designed to promote peace by restoring the authority of law and justice in communities that have been victimized by such atrocities. The Tribunals are thus meant to foster national reconciliation.”

  5. “We take note with much satisfaction the apprehension of Ante Gotovina. We laud the efforts of the Spanish and Croatian Governments in facilitating his arrest and his transfer to the ICTY. It is through cooperative efforts among States such as this, that perpetrators of horrific crimes against humanity are brought to justice. Concerning the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), we are encouraged by the efforts of the Prosecutor in formulating a more aggressive programme for tracking and apprehending fugitives and in requesting cooperation with Member States in that regard. In our last intervention, we welcomed the new procedures followed by the ICTR Chambers in restricting the length of examination-in-chief and cross-examination, without unduly detracting from principles of fair trial.”

  6. “On the ICTY, we await the further report of the working group on speeding up trials * in particular its views on increasing the efficient disposal of pre-trial motions. We note with satisfaction that the recommendations of the working group on speeding up appeals, which were implemented in September and November of 2005, have increased the efficiency of proceedings before the Appeals Chamber. Of particular note is the foresight shown by the court in realizing the importance of e-technology in enhancing its work. The integration of case-related documents into a central electronic database, the e-Court system, increases the accessibility of information needed in writing a judgement. It is the hope of my delegation that technical problems associated with the proper functioning of the system will be remedied soon.”

  7. “On behalf of my delegation, I wish to extend my warmest congratulations to Judge Fausto Pocar on his election to the presidency of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and to wish him success in his term and in his future endeavours with the Tribunal. I would also like to extend my delegation's commendation to Judge Theodor Meron for the achievements and progress the Tribunal achieved under his leadership. At the outset, I would like to thank President Mose, President Pocar and Prosecutors Del Ponte and Jallow for their reports. My delegation notes with satisfaction much of the progress made since their last reports, particularly the changes and new procedures implemented to increase the efficiency of the working methods of the two Tribunals.”
