The President
There were 15 votes in favour. The draft resolution has been adopted unanimously as resolution 1512 (2003).
After consultations among members of the Security Council, I have been authorized to make the following statement on behalf of the Council.
"The Security Council notes the invitation of the General Assembly contained in operative paragraph 7 of its resolution 57/289 of 20 December 2002 that it address uncertainties regarding the power of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda under its Statute to finance the upgrading of prison accommodation in which persons convicted by the Tribunal are to serve their sentences.
"The Security Council confirms that it is within the lawful powers of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda under its Statute to fund the renovation and refurbishment of prison facilities in States that have concluded agreements with the United Nations for the carrying out of prison sentences of the Tribunal. Such funds shall be used to bring up to international minimum standards the prison accommodation to be occupied or used, pursuant to those agreements.
"The Security Council will remain seized of this matter."
That statement will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/2003/18.
The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security Council will remain seized of the matter.
