Thank you very much. I want to pay tribute to the Netherlands as an extremely reliable partner of the United Nations. The Netherlands is today a very important pillar of multilateralism in a moment in which multilateralism is put into question in different situations. The Netherlands have been leading in key aspects of the interests of not only the UN but the international community as a whole - in relation to climate change, in relation to development cooperation in humanitarian aid, in relation to peace and security, in relation to human rights. And with the Netherlands coming to the Security Council, I believe that this partnership will be considerably strengthened, and we particularly count on the role the Netherlands can play as a bridge-builder, bringing together different parties that have led to a very divided Security Council in relation to some of the most dramatic problems we face in today’s world. We really count on the Netherlands to play that very important role.
 
At the same time, I came for the closure of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), and I think we need to recognize that the Tribunal did an extremely important job - in order to assert that there is an international justice system, that there is accountability and that it is perfectly possible for international criminal justice to be successful. I hope that this experience will be very useful also in the strengthening of the International Criminal Court, of other courts, and in making sure that in our laws, the rule of law prevails, human rights are respected, international humanitarian law is respected, and that those that misbehave can be adequately prosecuted and punished. I am extremely proud of the work that was done by the Tribunal and it will be also a very important moment for the international community to recognize the need to go on supporting international penal justice.
