1. “Over the reporting period under consideration, the highest officials of our country remained engaged in direct dialogue with the Prosecutor, while the Ministry of Justice and the Office of the State Prosecutor maintained close, frequent and intense working relationships with the Office of the ICTY Prosecutor. My delegation appreciates Prosecutor Brammertz's assessment, in which he stressed the overall responsiveness and general improvement in the quality of work undertaken by Croatian authorities. Last fall, Prime Minister Kosor established a special task force in order to deepen and, where necessary, broaden the work already undertaken by the administrative investigation conducted following the order issued by the Trial Chamber in June 2008.”

2. “For its part, Croatia - an early advocate of establishing the ICTY - welcomes the Tribunal's accomplishments, which have shown that peace and justice are complementary. The Croatian Government remains firm in its commitment to sustaining its full and equivocal support for the Tribunal's efforts to close the impunity gap, thus advancing the rule of law and paving the way for reconciliation and cooperation by individualizing criminal accountability and providing justice and dignity to victims. As my Government has made clear on many occasions, Croatia remains committed to full cooperation with the ICTY.”

3. “That said, Croatia firmly believes that the early closure of the Tribunals, albeit a legitimate objective, should not come at the expense of the mandate with which they were established or of respect for fair-trial guarantees. Let us not forget that late arrests and the remaining fugitives are the single most important obstacles to the early closure of the Tribunals. With regard to the mandate of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the mandate of the Tribunal must not be declared complete without bringing to justice Ratko Mladic and Goran HadZie, the two remaining fugitives who have been indicted for the most atrocious crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Croatia, namely, the massacres in Srebrenica and Vukovar.”

4. “Allow me to begin by congratulating you and your delegation, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month and for the manner in which you are conducting the Council's work. I would also like to begin by welcoming Presidents Byron and Robinson and Prosecutors Brammertz and Jallow and by thanking them for their briefings on the implementation of the completion strategies of the two Tribunals. Croatia welcomes the progress achieved thus far and hopes that the current intense pace of work at both Tribunals will be sustained in order to conclude their mandates in a timely and orderly manner. We note concerns raised by the fact that the projected dates for the completion of trials will not be met.”

5. “Setting up a residual mechanism that will continue the essential functions of the Tribunals after their closure remains a pressing need. The credibility of such a mechanism will inevitably reflect on the legacy that the Tribunals are leaving behind. This is an issue of most direct relevance for the countries under the Tribunals' jurisdiction. My country hopes that the Council will be able to define timely solutions along the lines recently presented by the Chairman of the Informal Working Group and adopt the necessary decisions. We hope that our participation has helped the process by factoring in the experience of a county directly affected by a Tribunal's jurisdiction.”

6. “Croatia appreciates the considerable efforts that the Tribunals are investing in expediting the timely completion of their work. We take note of the anticipated dates for the closure of the Tribunals, which will slip well into the next decade. While we share the concerns expressed about lengthy trials, we also recognize the need to be realistic. The early closure of the two Tribunals is a legitimate objective, but not at the expense of fair trial guarantees. As a non-permanent member of the Security Council, for the past two years Croatia has been participating in the extensive deliberations of the Informal Working Group on International Tribunals, currently under the chairmanship of Austria, whose efforts we greatly appreciate.”

7. “While the administrative investigation has shown that the Republic of Croatia is not in possession of the requested documents, the establishment of a task force and the new findings mentioned by the Prosecutor clearly indicate the Prime Minister's determination not only in complying with the court's orders, but also going further in our pursuit to retrieve or fully disclose the fate of documents which are in the exclusive ownership of the Republic of Croatia. In pursuing this path, we look forward to developing even further our cooperation with the Office of the Prosecutor in this final push, with the aim of securing our common goal of serving justice, peace, reconciliation and, based on these values, a future of prosperity in South-East Europe.”

8. “In facilitating the arrest of all suspects in the past, in a framework of close cooperation with the Office of the Prosecutor and in accordance with our constitutional law on cooperation with the ICTY, Croatia has established a solid and credible record of support for the fulfilment of the Tribunal's goals. In the same spirit, Croatia is now continuing its full cooperation with respect to the request regarding missing documents sought by the Office of the Prosecutor. This is particularly important in the light of the hearing scheduled for 16 December by the Trial Chamber, which is to assess this issue. In that regard, let me express our appreciation for the Prosecutor's assessment indicating Croatia's determination to further pursue this path of full cooperation and the leadership shown by Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor in that respect.”

9. “More than a year ago another high-profile fugitive was arrested - Radovan Karadzic. We regret to note that his case will enter the trial phase only next spring, despite the fact that more than a dozen years have passed since his indictment. We also regret to see the dismay that the trial delays have caused to victims and their families. We hope that a protracted trial will not repeat the scenario of the trial of Milosevic, whose death made impossible a sentence which would have clearly outlined the role of those most responsible for the atrocities committed in the former Yugoslavia. Locating and arresting high-profile fugitives must remain a priority, not just for the Tribunals but for the international community as well.”

10. “We look forward to the day when the Tribunals can close their doors and transition to a residual mechanism, but not before ensuring that those most responsible for the crimes committed face justice. We thus welcome the recent arrest of the high-level fugitives indicted by the ICTR and hope to see the early beginning of their respective trials. We regret that the arrest of the remaining high- level fugitives still remains elusive for the ICTY, thus further complicating the projected completion strategy. Croatia firmly believes that the mandate of the ICTY cannot be declared complete without bringing to justice the two remaining fugitives: Ratko Mladic and Goran Hadzic, who have been indicted for the most atrocious crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Croatia, namely the massacres committed in Srebrenica and in Vukovar.”

11. “Since their establishment, the two Tribunals have had a profound impact on efforts to deny impunity for the serious crimes committed in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, which continue to haunt our collective conscience. We recognize their vital contribution to the fight against impunity, advancing the rule of law and paving the way for reconciliation and cooperation by providing justice and dignity to victims and by individualizing criminal accountability. Croatia has been a staunch supporter of the mandate of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) since its inception. The Croatian Government is firm in its commitment to continue to provide its full and unequivocal support to the Tribunal's efforts to combat impunity by prosecuting those responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law.”

12. “At the outset, allow me to extend my congratulations to you, Mr. President, and to your delegation for your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of December, which, as we all know, is not the easiest month. Let me assure you of the full cooperation of my delegation during your presidency. At the same time, I would like to thank Ambassador Mayr-Harting and his team for the excellent manner in which they chaired the Council in the month of November. I would also like to thank Ambassador Mayr-Harting for chairing the informal Working Group on international tribunals and the excellent deliberations he chaired in that respect. Allow me to also welcome Presidents Robinson and Byron, as well as Prosecutors Brammertz and Jallow, and thank them for their contributions and their presence here today.”
