The representative of Mozambique, Council President for May, spoke in his national capacity to underscore the need for the Court “to expedite its efforts to deliver tangible results for the Libyan people by completing investigations”.
The victims of the horrendous crimes committed on Libyan territory deserve justice, and the delivery thereof must be part of the healing process for victims and those affected — not serve to perpetuate the suffering of the country’s people.
Cooperation plays a pivotal role and, to this end, he welcomed the Office’s positive engagement with the Libyan authorities and encouraged both to continue working in partnership in line with the principle of complementarity enshrined in the Rome Statute. In that context, he welcomed the Office’s launch of a policy paper on complementarity and cooperation and expressed hope that its implementation will bring tangible results in relation to accountability processes in various countries.
