5:05 pm
readiness. but this is powered by people who are running very often with mostly on their feet. people are hungry and one can just do a simple google search and i phones and one will gain a smattering of the types of allegations a tom being received by so many communities, suicide organizations available to every state, every member states of the united nations, to this council and also to my office i'm particularly just up of the very hiring accounts with hearing of crimes of games and effecting children . the sustain catalog of allegations of gender crimes. and i will say today what i've said previously that i'm prioritizing the allegations regarding these types of crimes, the crimes. but historically in saddam and in the why the world have affected
5:06 pm
disproportionately, the most vulnerable, the very most vulnerable aspect of our population. and the types of crimes and also have in many cases not being fully addressed by international accountability efforts. these profound human rights abuses, these mess, violations of personal dignity. these rooms start you crimes that seem to be committed as we speak of fueled by mariette factors, factors that are not new factors that were present in 2005 when you referred the situation in saddam to us provision of arms financial support from various sectors and by political tribes relations that lead to an action by the international community.
5:07 pm
but also it's fuels by sense. we've unity that i refer to before. the feeling that the bandwidth of the council, the bandwidth of states is too limited. it's too preoccupied with other epi centers of conflict autos in other parts of the world that we've lost sight of the plight for the people of the full as we have somehow forgotten of the responsibilities under the one shot to the rest. with this consul, by dint of your declaration in 2005, that the situation represents a threat to international peace and security. this feeling that da for also don is a law free zone in which people connect with abandon based on the west proclivities that was facing stinks. the politics of hate and power don't put you on. it is to
5:08 pm
profit rather than the fundamental imperatives that we owe to each other based on our common humanity. and as reflected as the president in my report. it's a set information of my office to attempt to provide some protection to these fundable communities. so many belligerence in engineering. uh you know, 5 shot across. so don think they can get away with murder. they can get a way to wait, right. so you can get away with boot blacks and may be every 6 months that would be a security council report. that would be, i think, cuz they thing called attention on that. i'm sorry to say miserable lives the lives trying to escape into tomorrow,
5:09 pm
which is not guaranteed. and so we do need your help more than ever to make sure that this expectation of justice of old human life mattress equally is given some backing substance. we are making some progress in a very big place. i confess that is of a big place in saddam, at the moment of a big place for the people of the for the moment are but to those on the ground to day, into the full and addressing both the sudanese on forces. i'm the rapid support forces to those that are aging and attaching them to encouraging them that are funding them that are supplying them with weapons that are giving orders that are gaining certain advantages. i want to be crystal clear that we are investigating where using our results is as effectively as we can to make sure that
5:10 pm
the events also since april of last year are subjected to the principal of international humanitarian law. and the imperative that every human life must be seen to have equal value. in this reporting period, one sees the misery i've mentioned, the agony, the unnecessary loss of innocent life. that is taking place every moment and wanting someone to embarrass to then say, well, what are the positives? but this is the world in which we operate. this is the terrain in which the i c. c . has to profess. how being positives in this reporting period. after a great deal of difficulty, finally, we had cooperation from so don and the team could enter ports to don. and we have managed to collect evidence and the engagements
5:11 pm
with general hahn and his authorities have also allowed a number of long standing requests to be effected. we've had many long term significant emissions to chat. and we've been collecting a very valuable testimonial evidence from people displaced from the homes who flagged for their lives. and they managed to get out and tell the story. and we've been engaging in maybe a different ways with student needs civil society by the right saying of your up, whether it's in africa in chad, in the central african republic going south. so don, we're trying new ways to engage, to get and preserve that accounts and that stories to analyze it and to piece it together to see what crime savannah, it shows and who is responsible for the have on us that he's being unleashed. so
5:12 pm
stupidly so persistently against the people of the for and we've been also deploying technological tools so we can piece together the different types of evidence sets that are available. now the from phones, from video and audio recordings that are also proving to be extremely critical to pay us to pay with impunity. collectively, mr. president investigate as honest as long as the many women of our office with civil society and with everybody that is willing to join hands have made some significant progress. and i will be in a position i believe we are. why, i hope by my next report, i will be able to announce applications for warren. so the rest regarding those or
5:13 pm
some of those individuals that have the most responsible for what we're seeing at the moment. they should be heard clearly. the i c, c is not a top shop. my office, i'm not looking to unlock you on the calendar. the 2 privileged opportunities. we have to brief the council and to cover it make you truth. the people's lives are being lost. that should never suffer people. uh scott, or a buried or a desperate for the international community to hear that price. to see that blood the see and feel that i can e, i'm come up with solutions. not polemics. in order for any act to, to mitigate the potential impact of any action,
5:14 pm
my office may take cool. any action the judges of the i. c. c may feel it's appropriate to affect you. any advice i have is compliance with the law is the best response cooperation. with my office is the best response and the best defense for an individual to say that not part of this drive of cruelty against impunity, but are not simply pointing fingers at the other side, but are trying to make sure that the people into that come on having the most vulnerable in existence of the most in their mind, in relation to every decision that is being taken as the president. we can recall the heartbreak of the past
5:15 pm
that goes back 220022003 has been a constant theme of these. 139 reports that we presented to this council. but it should be interest on our house in my respectful view, that these are not just echoes of the past. this the night met. the people are enjoying today and all of us must look at ourselves in the mirror and say how we collectively done everything. we can the, i see she is not and never has been a silver bullet to solve the different crises of the world, requests the support of states and requires and it deserves. you might expect to have you effective support from the council and the council, perhaps, if i may be so bold, needs to look at and imaginative ways. creative ways to stop the cycle of violence from persisting is everything being done that can be done to enforce peace,
5:16 pm
to gave a cease fire, a chance to allow people to poke and walk away from the killing feels that are developing throughout the for president as we're looking at the event since april, we have not forgotten. the reason why you referred the situation to us. the case of, of the vermont allegory shape is proceeding. well, of course, matches were somewhat delayed because of the insecurity and the 4. and the judges had to give various amendments to the original time table, but it still stands to be one of the most effective trials in the i. c, c's history. anticipation is one more witness for the defense will testify in september and then closing briefs will be presented by all parties and by the lead, the representative of the victims that is on to pay to the trial the close in charla
5:17 pm
this year. this is a trial in which more than a 100 witnesses would have been heard and 1500 items of evidence presented by my office in support of the allegations against statically shape we stopped vermont. and great credit must be given to the respect to judge that the trial chamber under starting walkable, the registry stuff for making sure the trial could continue and is continuing. even in the midst of all the difficulties that are well now we will do everything is to president to fulfill our mandate in these very difficult moments for the people of the full. but as reference, we need more support from every member state of the united nations. and as i
5:18 pm
mentioned, perhaps in my last briefing, one gentleman as well as i was sitting on the floor in attending that dre very poor people, one could taste the dust. and he said, well, it's wonderful you are investigating the event since april. but why you up to mistake? the things will be different if you apply for warranty for us, the issue then what? and it was a profound question i need still haunts me. i had to confess what i'm not particularly optimistic because the 40 lives mounted in the decades since 2005. but perhaps now there's another consideration. in addition to the individual was 6 humanity, that he's was a pause on some reflection because we have seen really a piece of chaos in that part of the continent. if one draws a line from the major training and hopefully be down to the right, see also don and then draws
5:19 pm
a line to sub saharan africa. and then all the way to the atlantic with broke her arm and causing and stability chaos and suffering. and nigeria and then back to so dawn and we see the map and the countries that risk being unsettled will be stabilized by this concentration of chaos and suffering. i do wish to underline my own analysis that apart from the rights of the people of the full, we're reaching a tipping point. a critical mass in which upon dora's box of ethnic racial, religious, sectarian, commercial interests, will be unleashed to put no longer be within the will no longer be susceptible to political powers of the great states of the world. or even of this council. it's applies some real action now to stem the beating life in so don's
5:20 pm
debilitating saddam may wells old dwell for more peace in that part. but huge part of the continent of africa. i do ask the government to sit on to expedite its cooperation with the quote in the report. i mentioned some good step, some positive steps, but of course as the saying goes from e solve, i think one swallow does not to some i make we need continuous deepening cooperation with the sudanese armed forces with a general aubrey hahn and his government moving forward and one concrete way which that commitment to accountability and this lack of tolerance for impunity can be evidenced is by properly enforcing court orders. there is of course, a warrant, the warrant outstanding,
5:21 pm
including the warrant for mr. room to room. and that case also he's linked, factually, with the case up to her mom. so i really would ask, but in our discussions, we also focus with the government of saddam, with concrete efforts to show a real concern for the people loved our full and real commitment to the requirements of this counsel, to cooperate with the i c. c. in terms of arresting mr. i'm going to route and i'm transferring him to the gate code in addition to that team based reporting period. and it will be evidenced in my budget also to state policies in december that i have uh, established a, a tracking and information fusion center. i also gave more resources. i have deployed great to skills and a greater variety of skill sets to make sure various words of the court,
5:22 pm
some public, some confidential, can be executed with greater effectiveness. and in that we're working closely with the registrar of the quote as well that mr. president and this reporting period, visas have been approved for investigations. we've gone into ports of don. we've met the sudanese authorities, including the attorney general. we've met with the national commission establish to investigate crimes committed in the context of the current. a conflict in the for some requests for assistance have been action. others partially actioned. others remain pending but in my meeting with the chair of saddam's transitional, suffering to counsel a general abdul, 5 to elbow han last year, i received
5:23 pm
a number of commitments and i'm pleased that it has improved from a very low base, exceptionally from low base. but that is significant room for improvement. and the improvement that comes, i must also think, particularly in publicly the new focal point for cooperation that was appointed by chapman overhand following a meeting. that being significant efforts in the last quarter of 2023 and up to now to engage with the leadership of the rapid support forces. i haven't seen any concrete result from those efforts of engagement. this is a place a courtroom, but also counsel always a place. why should be no hiding place either people are talking the lack of justice on the holding a loft, the standard of impunity or,
5:24 pm
or vice versa. because of that difficulty, we have tried to engage with other groups including the out of the communities in the full it wasn't easy, there was some trepidation there was some concern. but i think the discussions that have taken place between my office and the communities in the for the private leadership has put it on a a, a level that can be further consolidated. and hopefully can allow misunderstandings to be removed. and that we have joint not by us, missed that too, but our common humanity there, of course, many crises every morning. the distinguished members of the towns will wake up and see another crisis. some that have been long fermenting others that seem to have arisen unexpectedly. and the challenge really is to show that the council can back the court continuously in the way that we are getting support from
5:25 pm
many members states. but this is a defining moment when we see this increasing concentration of suffering around the world. and i've said it before in different context, there is this cry raised from so many parts of the global south and from the global north that does every human life my to equally all the institutions created fit for purpose or are we able to deal with people that are being attacked and always acting with such integrity with such courage that we would like to tell our own, god forbid our own family members. because if we don't have that moral courage, if we don't have that clarity for if we don't find these ways of building and enhancing partnerships between whether it's the icpc and the security council with
5:26 pm
united nations, with the african union, with the regional partners with the people of saddam the government to saddam, with the tribal communities of saddam with going to get more missouri and more of the same this kind much of impunity that we see right. tangibly on the ground. you know, janetta increasing the, you know, fisher driven by a deep belief that old human life doesn't matter. and we're not watching that we're not paying attention that somehow we're in different tool that we happened. patrick, would not the office is not because of the support we have been given by many member states because my obligations to fidelity to the rule of law. and with your help, mister president, distinguished members of the council. we should be aware of the chalk to fundamental imperatives realizing that all of us i'm awful no
5:27 pm
representative will be here forever. and these are moments that we have maybe some more opportunities to make a difference for people that we will never have the privilege of meeting. we will never have the privilege of knowing and they may not survive our election a day for that. thank you so much. i this, i don't suppose it gets what kind of financial criminal cause chief prosecutor kareem con, updating you until you hear. the council says on the judge and investigation opened by his office and to allegations of full crimes and crimes against humanity and sit down stuff full region. he said that they now have video and audio recordings. vital evidence that would quote, here's the veil of impunity. which could result, he said in announcements for applications for warrants of arrest. you said that he's investigated, it's incredible obligations of what looked like ethnic the motivated attacks against the civilian population. widespread use of right and attacks against
5:28 pm
hospitals posted on has been mind and war and conflict since april, when a rivalry between the sudanese armed forces and upon military rapids support forces exploded into mine. is that destroyed much in the country? gabriel alexander is listening to all of this and gave kareem khan, very candid address that he gave that not just a speaking, not just about the, the actual crimes ensued on but the impunity with which they've been carried out. that's right. impunity and he's talking also about accountability. that was his main message. i think in his brief to the security council that you just heard there cream con big picture here. he briefs the council twice a year, issues a report to the council, on his ongoing investigation into the situation in sudan. and i think the headline really out of this briefing is that he is getting close. he said to his office, being able to issue perhaps some arrest warrants in the coming weeks and or months
5:29 pm
for alleged crimes being committed since april in sudan, particularly in dar for i think that really is the headline here. out of what we heard from kareem khan. he also said that he has been getting some cooperation from a general abdul, about who the head of the s a f said that he's met in port sudan. his investigators have been, they're continuing to do their work. he said it's been very difficult, but they are moving forward in that regard. but there are clear challenges here. and he even mentioned this, there are already, at least for arrest warrants outstanding for the i c 's from the i c. c for crimes committed in dark for from 2003 to 2008 arrest warrants, including of course, with former student needs president, omar bashir arrest warrants that have not been able to be executed again from
5:30 pm
previous conflict of, of accent, of alleged excess of genocide among other war crimes. so you can really get a sense of and you heard this from kreme, kon here saying how there is a sense of impunity that permeates throughout sudan. and he said that is something that the security council particularly needs to try to deal with moving forward. so thank you very much. deborah is on a a placing else on the developers there at united nations security council with discussions about sit down or on the way. the now is writing shutting is telling me that a group of palestinians in darrell by the in its latest attack on gaza wounded people were taken to alex the hospital x not known how many of us have been killed . children are among the dead and the injured at least atm identified policy.
