Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to inform the House that I have voted in favour of the motion for a resolution on the indictment and bringing to trial of Joseph Kony at the International Criminal Court. It is wholly unacceptable that it has been more than three years that attempts have been made to arrest an international criminal like Kony, the perpetrator and instigator of crimes including murder, genocide, rape, looting and incitement to rape. All these attempts have failed due to the continued reluctance of the Ugandan Government to cooperate in capturing this criminal, for whom the ICC has issued an international arrest warrant.
I would point out that Uganda has signed the Rome Statute, according to which every member commits itself to put an end to impunity for the most serious crimes of major concern for the international community, and to contribute to the prevention of such crimes. I would also like to express my concern over the total absence of a clear commitment aimed at preventing the diversion to the LRA, the army led by Kony, of international aid (above all from the Government of Sudan), which it can use to fund itself easily."@en1
