BRIEF SECURITY COUNCIL ON PROGRESS TOWARDS CONCLUDING TRIALS BY 2008
Say Courts Resolved to Meet Council Deadlines, but Obstacles Include Underfunding, Lack of Cooperation in Apprehending Fugitives
Briefing the Security Council today, the Presidents and Prosecutors of the United Nations Tribunals trying cases stemming from the 1994 Rwanda genocide and the 1990s conflicts in the former Yugoslavia expressed their firm resolve for meeting the Council-imposed 2008 deadline for completing all trials, yet drew attention to the persistent obstacles threatening that goal, namely, underfunding by Member States, a resulting recruitment freeze, and a lack of cooperation by some States in apprehending most wanted fugitives.
