Mexican Support of Serbia on Kosovo

The General Assembly met on 8 October 2008 to take up a draft resolution submitted by Serbia containing a request for an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice on whether the 17 February 2008 unilateral declaration of independence of Kosovo is in accordance with international law.

Claude Heller (Mexico) said the draft resolution before the Assembly was based on the interpretation of Article 96 given to the Assembly, and other United Nations organs, to call for an advisory opinion from the Court since the founding of the Organization. Members of the international community were subject to international law and were required to seek a peaceful means of settling disputes.

The Court, as the principal judicial organ on the international scene, made an invaluable contribution to the rule of law through its opinions. The request from Serbia was in keeping with paragraph 2 of article 66 of the Statute of the Court, and fulfilled the requirements in form and substance created by the United Nations Charter, so the Assembly could request an opinion. For all those reasons, Mexico would vote in favour of the adoption.

Before action on the draft, a representative of the Secretariat said, that should the text be adopted, the Court would proceed to establish its scope of work arising from the request. Resources had been provided in the programme budget 2008-2009 to provide advisory opinions requested by United Nations bodies and agencies. Due to the complexity of the question in the draft resolution, its adoption was expected to give rise to additional resource requirements. The scope of work on the matter would be detailed in a budget which would be submitted to the Assembly during its current session.
