南非一直与检察官办公室定期沟通，并多次与检察官会面，解释我们为落实该请求正采取的步骤。我高兴地宣布，经过国家层面的积极接触，国际逮捕令已得到南非国内法律的认可，这为援助请求生效铺平了道路。我们感谢检察官办公室努力开辟与南非有关当局沟通的渠道并随后开展建设性的对话。我们严肃对待我们的国际义务，并向余留机制和安全理事会保证：我们坚定地致力于打击有罪不罚，决心落实援助请求。我们将继续与检察官办公室合作，以确保将逃犯绳之以法。
South Africa has been in regular communication with the Prosecutor’s Office and has met with the Prosecutor on several occasions to explain the steps we are taking to implement the request. Following active engagement at the national level, I am pleased to announce that the international arrest warrant has been endorsed in accordance with South Africa’s domestic law, paving the way to giving effect to the request for assistance. We appreciate the Prosecutor’s efforts to open channels of communication with the relevant South African authorities, and the constructive dialogue that has since ensued. We take our international obligations seriously and assure the Mechanism and the Security Council that we are firmly committed to combating impunity and implementing this request for assistance. We will continue to cooperate with the Prosecutor’s Office in order to ensure that the fugitive is brought to justice.
