Addressing the UN Security Council meeting on the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) operations, Quy acknowledged the Mechanism's efforts in implementing measures to realize the council’s Resolution 2529 on reviewing the two-year operation of the Mechanism, and supported the completion of the trials on time.
He affirmed that countries bear the top responsibility for prosecuting and trying serious international crimes, and called for support for countries in exercising their judicial jurisdiction.
The IRMCT was established in 2010 to carry out the remaining essential functions of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) after their respective closures. In June 2020, under the coordination of Vietnam, the UN Security Council approved Resolution 2529.
