  1. “I will conclude by encouraging the Special Court for Sierra Leone to continue implementing its mandate and bringing justice to the people of Sierra Leone, which is indispensable in order to lay the foundation for lasting peace and a prosperous future, not only in the country but also in the subregion.”

  2. “In the context of the formulation and implementation of the completion strategy, residual aspects and the legacy of the Court are especially important. In particular, we wish to highlight those aspects relating to the creation of conditions and capacities within the local justice system to try those responsible for crimes that fall outside the Court's mandate. Indeed, in order to comply with the completion strategy and, above all, in order to fulfil its mandate vis-a-vis the people of Sierra Leone, the Court requires resources and cooperation. We thank those who have contributed financially to the Court's activities, and we call for the support of States able to provide it. The Court requires the cooperation of States on a number of matters, as the Council has heard this afternoon.”

  3. “As the Court has unambiguously indicated with its active and innovative outreach plan to publicize its activities and proceedings so that the trials will have the proper impact in Sierra Leone and throughout the subregion, it is crucial that the trials be accessible. The local population must clearly see that justice is being served. That is particularly relevant in the Taylor case, as was stressed by the Security Council in resolution 1688 (2006). We praise the Special Court's work in that area, and we encourage it to continue it. The President and the Prosecutor have shared with us information on the Court's completion strategy, under which all judicial activities are expected to end by the end of 2009.”

  4. “The fact that this former head of State who allegedly committed serious atrocities has now been brought to justice shows us that no one is above the law and that the commission of serious crimes cannot remain unpunished. In today's world impunity is not tolerated. Furthermore, the fact that the trial is taking place in The Hague with the logistical cooperation of the International Criminal Court shows how that young institution is engaged in the fight against impunity and confirms the wisdom of the international community's decision to conceive and establish a permanent judicial institution.”

  5. “With two trials now concluded, with sentencing scheduled for next June and July, a trial that is to conclude by the end of the year and the recent start of the trial of the former President of Liberia, Charles Taylor, the Court has shown that it is making progress in the task of bringing to justice those who bear the greatest responsibility for serious violations of international humanitarian law and the laws of Sierra Leone, thus bolstering the fight against impunity and promoting reconciliation and the achievement of lasting peace, not only in Sierra Leone but throughout the subregion. The beginning of the Charles Taylor trial marks an important milestone in the work of the Court.”

  6. “Mrs. Zanelli (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): My delegation wishes to express its gratitude for the briefings given by the President and the Prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone. We are grateful too for the work being carried out in that very important institution of international justice. My delegation also wishes to welcome the presence of Deputy Secretary- General Migiro at this meeting. Peru firmly supports the fight against impunity. My delegation therefore appreciates the opportunity to be briefed this afternoon on the activities of the Special Court for Sierra Leone. This meeting will enable all States Members of the United Nations, and public opinion, to be informed about the work of the Special Court and about the challenges it faces.”
