  1. “Particularly regrettable is that three of the permanent members of the Security Council continue to refuse to recognize the valuable contribution of the International Criminal Court and to accede to the Rome Statute, when their example would lead other nations to join the Court and contribute to the effort to fight impunity and strengthen the rule of law at the international level. To conclude, we call on all States parties to the Rome Statute and on all organs of the United Nations to cooperate with the Court, not only by complying with the stipulations in article 3 of the Relationship Agreement between the Court and the United Nations and article 86 of the Rome Statute, but also by honouring the principles that nourished the founding of our Organization and that guide its work.”

  2. “Along those lines, we strongly call for every necessary effort for the effective operation of the 2017 provisions on the crime of aggression, without delays or excuses. Unfortunately, it must be acknowledged that on innumerable occasions we have witnessed instances of a double standard being applied in referrals to the International Criminal Court. That kind of decisions - based on political considerations and using different measures for similar behaviour, condemning or defending on the basis of political interests or ideological leanings rather than on clear norms - detracts from the credibility of the Security Council's work and encourages impunity, with the regrettable consequences that that implies.”

  3. “The relevant arrangements must be made without further delay to fulfil what is stipulated in those articles. The Secretary-General and the General Assembly, each within its respective area of competence, must take the steps necessary to include in the United Nations regular budget the financial contributions of this Organization to the budget of the Court. Ecuador believes that progressive universalization of the Rome Statue and of the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court is an irrevocable goal. Beyond political considerations of the day, it is essential to progress toward the creation of genuine international criminal justice in order to take on the most heinous crimes and to punish the guilty, without regard to their nationality, position or office.”

  4. “For my delegation, it is indispensible for the International Criminal Court to enjoy the financing necessary to allow it to meet its objectives as set out in the Rome Statute, especially in the light of the increase in the caseload submitted to the judges, in the investigations being undertaken by the Prosecutor's Office, and in the general workload. The delegation of Ecuador is of the view that the cases referred to the Court by the Security Council continue to create a financial burden for the States parties to the Rome Statute, while there is an unnecessary delay in compliance with the stipulations of article 13 of the Relationship Agreement between the ICC and the United Nations and article 115 of the Rome Statute, relating to the financing for expenses incurred by the Court due to cases referred to it by the Security Council.”

  5. “Cooperation between the two bodies is essential, within the framework of the greatest respect for the work of each, ifthe Court is to support the maintenance of international peace and security by judging those who seek to undermine it, and if the Security Council is to act within and in favour of the rule of law at the international level. The Court cannot do its work without the firm political support not only of Member States, but also of the Security Council, expressed through respect for the Rome Statute and compliance with the commitments that led to the establishment of the Court, including those relating to its financing.”

  6. “In its 14 years of existence, it has allowed for the prosecution of some of the worst violators of human rights, as shown by the recent sentence issued in the Lubanga case, which brought to an end one of the bloodiest chapters in the history of the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and demonstrated the contribution of the International Criminal Court to the maintenance of international peace and security. The punishment of those who commit crimes referred to the International Criminal Court complements the Security Council's task ofmaintaining peace and security. It does so because, in rendering justice and punishing those who commit criminal acts, it contributes to overcoming the trauma of the victims of armed conflict around the world and lays the groundwork for building lasting and strong peace.”

  7. “Mr. Troya (Ecuador) (spoke in Spanish): It is a great pleasure for my country to participate in this open debate organized by the presidency of the Security Council under the leadership of Guatemala, which we thank for having convened this meeting. Without justice there is no peace. Ecuador is convinced that the International Criminal Court is the only means by which the victims of the serious crimes under its jurisdiction can make their heard and see their suffering addressed. As expressed in the fourth paragraph of the preamble of the Rome Statute, the most serious crimes of concern to the whole international community must not go unpunished. To this end, the best tool in the fight against impunity is specifically the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.”
