Addressing the United Nations Security Council that established the mechanism in 2010 to perform the remaining functions for both the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda after those mandates were complete, both expressed frustration and deep regret at Pretoria’s lack of cooperation.
“In this regard, the Mechanism trusts that South Africa, being one of the current Member States of the Council, will decide to honour its Chapter VII obligations, as well as the values that unite this Council, by securing the arrest of the fugitive that was located on its territory in 2018, almost 18 months ago. South Africa has done so in the past by arresting and transferring ICTR fugitives on two occasions, in 1999 and 2004.
“After assurances in July that cooperation would be forthcoming, I was cautiously optimistic that the arrest would take place expeditiously. My office was greatly surprised, then, to receive in September a formal response from South Africa informing us, for the first time after more than a year of discussions, that it could not cooperate because it lacked the necessary domestic legislation.
This is not new to our creeping ANC Gov who will rather allow fugitives to hide in SA, than hand them over to their authorities. But then he is not the only one and honestly, SA is a haven for thousands of illegal migrants. This while SAcns will not be able to do this elsewhere.
No that will be xenophobia, dont arrest the so called fugitive, south africa belong to all.
Well we are known for that, is nothing new.
That's the ANC for u!! They fail not NEVER disappoint!
