1. Action Request. Para 1.
On March 27 the Secretary General forwarded to the Security
Council a request from the President of the International
Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia to extend the term of
Judge Canivell to enable him to complete a trial. At SC
consultations today, the SC President introduced a draft
resolution (Para 2) which would accede to this request. The
text has been circulated on a "no objection" basis and, if
acceptable, will be adopted by the Council on Monday. The
Secretariat told US delegation that there will be no
SIPDIS
financial implications resulting from the adoption of this
resolution. USUN requests authorization to join consensus on
the text below:
Begin text: Draft
The Security Council,
Recalling Security Council resolution, 1581 (2005) of 18
January 2005
Taking note of the letter to the President of the Security
Council from the Secretary-General dated 27 March 2006,
Decides in response to the request by the Secretary-General
to confirm that Judge Joaquin Canivell can continue to sit in
the Krajisnik case beyond April 2006 and see the case through
to its completion, notwithstanding the fact that the
cumulative period of his service in the International
Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia would then attain and
exceed three years. End Text
