  2. “Finally, I wish to recall that Italy, along with its EU partners, has constantly supported the young Timorese democracy at all stages of its genesis and development, the latest initiative being the participation of Timorese officials in human rights training courses at the San Remo International Institute of Humanitarian Law. We remain committed to supporting Timor-Leste in its quest to consolidate peace, democracy and development. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. There are no further speakers inscribed on my list. On behalf of the Council, I should like to express gratitude and appreciation to all the members of the Security Council mission, which was very ably led by Ambassador Kumalo, for the manner in which they discharged their important responsibility.”

  3. “At the same 07-64195 time, the report clearly indicates that, unfortunately, the challenges lying ahead still coincide broadly with those which caused the 2006 crisis. Reconciliation and institution-building remain the most daunting of these challenges, along with the lack of visible progress in people's livelihoods. The EU presidency has already elaborated on the aforementioned challenges, as well as on the efforts that the European Union is undertaking to help address them. From our side, I would just emphasize the importance of the active participation of Timor-Leste in regional cooperation and integration initiatives, by which the country is raising its international profile and engaging its neighbours in the stabilization process.”

  4. “The events of the past two years have proven that we need to be patient. If we do not continue to make progress, we risk rolling backwards. In this context, as many have stated, the importance of Timorese ownership cannot be overestimated. It is up to the people and the leadership of Timor-Leste to find solutions to the remaining challenges. I was glad, in this regard, to hear in this Chamber from the Timorese representative last week, and again today, that Timor-Leste sees its relationship with the United Nations and the international community at large as one of interdependence rather than of dependence. That is the approach that should inspire our common action. The successful organization of the electoral cycle has once again demonstrated the commitment of the Timorese people to peace and democracy.”

  5. “The Security Council sent clear messages to the country at a crucial juncture, and we have now available a considerable wealth of information and ideas that will allow the Council to have a more informed discussion on the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT) early next year. In this regard, the mission has confirmed that UNMIT is fulfilling its mandate in an effective manner and that all parties in Timor-Leste count on its continued presence, as we have also heard today from the representative of Timor-Leste. Indeed, the persistent complexity of the stabilization efforts in Timor-Leste requires sustained attention and assistance from the United Nations in all the key areas, from security to political dialogue, from human rights to development.”

  6. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Italy. Italy fully aligns itself with the statement delivered by the Permanent Representative of Portugal on behalf of the European Union. My brief remarks are meant to complement those of the European Union presidency. At the outset, I join other delegations in thanking Ambassador Kumalo and his team for their leadership on the mission, as well as for coordinating the preparation of the report (S/2007/711). The attention devoted to this mission by the Timorese people and authorities, and the richness of the report, validate by themselves the strong impact that the mission has had.”

May I take this opportunity, on behalf of the Security Council, to thank Judge Pocar, Judge Byron, Prosecutor Del Ponte and Prosecutor Jallow for taking the time to brief the Council. The meeting rose at 1.35 p.m.”

  10. “International criminal justice in those areas, as in the rest of the world, will not expire in 2010. To conclude, I wish to request that President Pocar further briefly elaborate on the need for the ICTY to have more ad litem judges on a temporary basis to contribute to the fulfilment of the Completion Strategy. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. I call on the representative of Rwanda.”

  11. “Any support from the international community for these processes is more than welcome, including support aimed at strengthening the judicial capacity of the relevant States to conduct criminal trials for international crimes. Finally, I would like to recall that the Tribunal's legacy is under serious consideration within the Council. A meeting of the Working Group on Tribunals, with the participation of the principals of the ICTY and the ICTR, has been scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Many delicate issues, both judicial and administrative in nature, are at stake. We are confident that important decisions will be made to reaffirm the purpose for which the Tribunals were established, namely, to punish those responsible for the most horrific international crimes in the former Yugoslavia and in Rwanda.”

  12. “As for the future endeavours of the ad hoc Tribunals with regard to their completion strategies, Italy believes that the crucial issues should be: to finalize the numerous cases being dealt with by the Tribunals; to conduct trials against the fugitives once they are apprehended; to continue the referral by the Tribunals of intermediate and lower-ranking cases to competent national jurisdictions, provided that the national jurisdictions fulfil the human rights requirements referred to in Security Council resolution 1534 (2004); to facilitate the reshaping of judicial activities which will focus on appeals and on the possible revision of judgements; and to increase, if possible, the Tribunal's outreach and capacity-building activities, which have been proven to have an enormous impact on civilian populations.”

  13. “Respect for the victims and their loved ones demands that the perpetrators of the gravest international crimes not go unpunished. The mission of the Tribunals to contribute to bringing lasting peace to communities ravaged by heinous atrocities necessarily requires that those who allegedly bear the highest responsibility for those atrocities be brought to justice. The message must not be sent that time is in favour of the culprits.”

  14. “Serge Brammertz on his appointment as Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and to wish him every success in the accomplishment of his task. It is with satisfaction that we note that cooperation with the Tribunals by all relevant parties has improved. Cooperation is now more crucial than ever. As far as fugitives are concerned, there is little need to recall that it is imperative that pending arrest warrants be executed. If all of the highest-profile cases - especially the proceedings against Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic and, as regards the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), the case of Fe'licien Kabuga - are not properly heard before international tribunals, that could be seen as a betrayal of the mandate assigned to the Tribunals by the Security Council.”

  15. “I should now like to make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Italy. Let me first associate myself with previous speakers in thanking President Pocar and President Byron, as well as Prosecutor Del Ponte and Prosecutor Jallow for their presentations to the Council. Italy commends the tangible progress made in pursuing the completion strategies, through the strong commitment of both Tribunals, their Judges and Prosecutors, as well as their staffs. I would like to seize this opportunity to thank Prosecutor Del Ponte for her passionate commitment, dedication, determination and consistent prosecutorial activities aimed at bringing an end to the culture of impunity of the past years, and we wish her all success in her future endeavours. At the same time, I would like to reiterate my congratulations to Mr.”
