Mrs. Patterson
Allow me to thank you, Sir, and your delegation for your endeavours during your presidency of the Council this month.
The adoption this month of two resolutions on the Sudan — peacekeeping and sanctions — demonstrates the Council’s strong commitment to fostering peace and stability throughout the Sudan. The Council has succeeded in keeping the momentum moving forward on international support for…
Mr. Baali
Algeria reaffirms its firm condemnation of the grave violations of human rights and international humanitarian law committed in Darfur. It also expresses its sympathy for and solidarity with the victims of that tragedy. From the outbreak of the crisis, Algeria has been involved in the international community’s efforts to end the suffering of the civilian population and to find a political solutio…
Mr. Wang Guangya
The Chinese delegation abstained in the voting on the resolution. We have always closely followed the situation in the Darfur region of the Sudan and support efforts to reach an agreement on an early political
settlement of the question of Darfur through the negotiations held under the auspices of the African Union. At the same time, like other members of the international community, we deeply d…
Ms. Løj
It has been two months since the Security Council received the report of the International Commission of Inquiry regarding the ongoing atrocities in Darfur. The report strongly recommended the referral of the crimes in Darfur to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Throughout the Council’s long negotiation process, Denmark has supported that recommendation. The ICC has the mandate, the capacit…
Mr. Baja
This is the third resolution — the third child born of the Security Council’s consideration of the situation in the Sudan, in particular Darfur. At this late hour — in the twilight of the Brazilian presidency — we cannot but recall a story that originated in Wales, the home of the sponsor of resolution 1593 (2005). There was a middle-aged couple who had two stunningly beautiful teenage daughters,…
Mr. Oshima
My delegation voted in favour of the draft resolution proposed by the United
Kingdom because impunity for serious violations of human rights and crimes against humanity committed in Darfur must not be allowed, and because, in order to bring the perpetrators to justice, Japan supports, in principle, the referral of the case of Darfur to the International Criminal Court (ICC) within the appropriat…
Mr. Mayoral
The Argentine Republic voted in favour of this resolution on the basis of the report submitted to the Security Council by the High Commissioner for Human Rights, which stated clearly that serious violations of human rights and crimes against humanity had been committed and verified in Darfur.
The report stated that there was irrefutable evidence in that respect and that the legal context for dea…
Mr. De La Sablière
France has long been drawing the attention of the Security Council to the situation in Darfur. The events in that region of the Sudan are deeply troubling, and our greatest concern is for the plight of the people there. They are, as we all are aware, the primary victims of this conflict. Furthermore, and this is even more serious, they are its primary targets.
The reports that the Secretary-Gene…
Mr. Vassilakis
In the first three months of the year, the Security Council addressed the issue of the Sudan on several occasions. The collective wish of the Council was to see the implementation of the Naivasha Comprehensive Peace Agreement as swiftly as possible. We also succeeded in adopting the resolution establishing the United Nations force to monitor the implementation of the Agreement. In addition, the S…
Mr. Mahiga
The United Republic of Tanzania voted in favour of the resolution we have just adopted with considerable reservations. The human tragedy in Darfur is a matter of serious concern to us and to Africa, as it is to the international community. In that regard, in the interest of justice and accountability, we believe that further delay in reaching an agreement in the hope of a more desirable outcome w…
Mr. Motoc
I will be brief, not only because we are nearing exhaustion and the hour is late, but also because I feel there is little to add to a vote that speaks for itself in terms of the Council’s ability to come together and find solutions to the most intricate matters submitted for its consideration — solutions that are in harmony with our peoples’ expectations of a fairer, and hence safer, world at the…
Mr. Denisov
The members of the Security Council have frequently reaffirmed that the struggle against impunity is one of the most important elements of a long-term political settlement in Darfur and the Sudan as a whole. All who are guilty of gross violations of human rights in Darfur must be duly punished, as is rightly pointed out in the report of the International Commission of Inquiry.
We believe that th…
Mr. Adechi
The vote just taken by the Security Council is a major event in the context of the tireless efforts of the international community to promote the rule of law and to protect humanity against the terrible events witnessed in recent decades. The vote was also in keeping with action by the Council to find a solution to the lethal conflict under way in Darfur.
We regret the fact that the text we have…
The President
I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Brazil.
Brazil is in favour of the referral of the situation in Darfur to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Nevertheless, Brazil was not able to join those members that voted in favour of the resolution. We remain committed to bringing to justice those accused of the crimes mentioned in the report of the Commission of Inquiry…
Mr. Erwa
Once more the Council has persisted in adopting further unwise decisions against my country, which is rewarded for putting an end to the longest conflict in Africa with further sanctions and procedures, which only serve to further complicate the situation on the ground.
The world in its entirety knows full well that the differences that lasted for about two months within the Council over the que…
The President
There are no further speakers inscribed on my list.
The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council will remain seized of the matter.
