我一如既往地相信，国际社会不会让我们失望，它将记得成立特设法庭和余留机制的初衷。今年早些时候是1994年卢旺达境内针对图西族的灭绝种族罪行发生25周年，这明确提醒我们，这些机构为何过去必不可少，现在仍然如此；到2020年，我们将得到同样的提醒，届时我们将聚集一堂，纪念斯雷布雷尼察发生灭绝种族罪行25周年。基于所有这些原因，我相信当前对国际刑事司法的怀疑态度将被弃置一旁，安理会为余留机制确定的职责将继续得到履行。我提前感谢所有与会者，我期待我们在今后一年里共同取得佳绩。
Just as in the past, I have confidence that the international community will not let us down and that it will remember why the ad hoc Tribunals and the Mechanism were established in the first place. We were vividly reminded of why those institutions were, and still are, necessary earlier this year, which marks 25 years since the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, just as we will be reminded in 2020 when we gather to commemorate 25 years since the genocide in Srebrenica. For all those reasons, I trust that the prevailing scepticism regarding international criminal justice will be set aside so that the mandate of the Residual Mechanism, as determined by the Council, can continue to be fulfilled. I thank all those present in advance, and I look forward to our joint achievements in the coming year.
