The Security Council this afternoon expressed profound concern at recent instances of failure to cooperate with the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, and in particular the failure of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to do so.

Recalling the obligation of States to comply with requests for assistance or orders issued by Trial Chamber under Article 29 of the Tribunal Statute, the Security Council, in a statement issued by its President, deplored the failure to date of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to execute arrest warrants issued by the Tribunal against three individuals, and called for the execution of those arrest warrants without delay.

Also by the statement, the Council called upon all States which had not already done so to make provision in their domestic law enabling them to comply with their obligations with respect to cooperation with the Tribunal.
