 So, good morning, friends. I would like to make, first of all, a few remarks, which I am simply to thank the Interpol leadership for inviting me to take part in these expert meetings. And as the director just mentioned earlier, I was very much involved in the early trainings which took place in Arusha. And I'm glad with my new hat also to continue to work closely with Interpol. And with your permission, being in Lyon, this beautiful French city will allow me to continue my statement in French. I would like to say, first of all, that I would like to thank, very sincerely, Interpol for having organized this meeting today which comes to an end. Despite the misfortunes of the past, it remains in the world today probable cases of genocide, of war crimes, of crimes against humanity, or situations that lead to these atrocities. Prevent these serious crimes and the affair of all. No country can believe in the fact that every human being has played a part in prevention. You will come with me that the prevention of genocide and massive atrocities represent a huge task that requires the active participation of all the actors at all levels. It is only if the states, the regional and sub-regional organizations, the international organizations and the civil society have all the advice that we can seriously envisage to prevent these horrible crimes. In the final document of the World Summit of 2005, all the state leaders and governments have assumed the obligation that they should include individual and collective members to prevent genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity, including the incitement to commit such acts. It is a remarkable achievement since, by this document, all the state members have committed themselves to prevent these crimes. To give them a concrete follow-up, we must take appropriate measures, especially to put in place appropriate structures and mechanisms. My experience as Secretary-General of the International Commission for Justice in Geneva is to identify the International Penal Code for the Rwanda and today, the functions that I assume as Secretary-General for the Prevention of Genocide have allowed me to understand that the possibility of massive mass atrocities has always been a delicate question for many states. In the whole world, the states are reluctant to admit that atrocities could be perpetrated or are perpetrated on their own territory. But we know very well that no state is entirely in the hands of these dangers. Mass mass atrocities can occur in any part of the world. Consequently, we must all remain vigilant and intervene as soon as the situation commands it. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Interpol leaders who have understood the issues of the fight against mass atrocities by periodically meeting experts from all over the world to reflect on the issues of prevention and repression of genocide. Interpol's mass atrocities are at the point of the fight that took place in this domain. If you allow me, I would like to very briefly expose the attributions that are mine as a special advice for the prevention of genocide, and more precisely, the thefts of my mandate, the entry into the enforcement of the capacity of the United Nations organizations and the international community in terms of analysis and management of information related to the genocide and the apparent crime. I would also like to explain how my office works, especially through training programs that he has put to the point. As you may know, it was only since July 2012 that I was appointed to this position by the Secretary General of Ban Ki-moon and its first functions since September. I have been supported on the work of my predecessor Francis Ding and on the conceptual framework that has led us to complete extremely complex and delicate missions that we have entrusted to us. To understand the attributions of the special advice for prevention of genocide, it is important to remember that this mandate was created in 2004 by the former Secretary General of the United Nations and is now following a request from the Security Council to remove the self-evaluation to which the organization was delivered after having failed, as everyone remembers, to prevent or stop the genocide of Srebrenica and Rwanda. In terms of the mandate, the special advice is to charge two, first of all, collecting all the information, especially within the United Nations system concerning the rare and massive violations of human rights and international law founded on the ethnic origin and the race and which, if nothing is done to prevent or stop them, can take the risk of genocide. Secondly, to make a quick alert mechanism for the Secretary General and pass on the intermediary to the Security Council by paying attention to all the situations that are at risk of genocide. Thirdly, to formulate recommendations to the Security Council by the Secretary General's intermediary on measures aimed at preventing or stopping all the genocide. And finally, to assure the relations with the United Nations on the activities of prevention of genocide and its efforts to improve the capacity of the UN to analyze and manage all the information related to the genocide crime and the connex infractions. The adoption of my office was extended in December 2010 in order to include all the situations that lead to a risk not only of genocide but also of war crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing be it the four types of crimes and violations aimed at the definition of the concept of responsibility to protect. This extension followed the decision of the Secretary General to create a bicephal structure, the Department of Prevention of Genocide and the responsibility to protect in order to keep in mind the particularity of the mandate of each of the two Special Councils and their complementarity. Dear friends, if I have to define in one word my role as a Special Council member, I will be the catalyst. Indeed, I have the mission to pay attention to the leaders of different organizations of the United Nations on the situations that have left them to evolve in order to get rid of genocide or apparent crimes and to mobilize efforts in favor of prevention. My role does not limit itself to drawing the signal of alarm but it is also possible to trigger, within the United Nations system, a direct reaction to prevent or cease crimes against God. And in this regard, two elements are decisive for the execution of my mandate, the management and the analysis of information and the ability to react actively and judiciously. As you remember, my predecessor, genocide can be considered as an extreme form of identity conflict, that is, a phenomenon that occurs in plural societies where different national, racial, ethnic or religious groups are caught up in. The intention of these groups does not come from their differences as such, but often from an unequal level of access to power and prosperity, to services and resources, to employment and development prospects, to the citizenship and to the exercise of freedom and fundamental rights. Since all states have a mixed population, no one should be considered to have such tension. Since then, the constructive management of diversity has appeared as an important strategy of prevention for all countries. The idea is that public powers must make sure that all groups of populations exercise their freedom and fundamental rights without discrimination and in equal conditions on civil, cultural, economic, political and social, as well as the international law of law. When populations are faced with an imminent risk of violence, it is too late to start the prevention work that must be done in a precondition way to dissipate the potential causes of tension between groups before the situation becomes uncontrollable. The states must give themselves structures and institutions must even protect the populations, national and independent institutions, strong and credible, who seek structural protection and are able to adjust in a peaceful and equitable way the differences and agreements between groups in respect of the majority of human rights and the principle of non-discrimination. In addition, to change the perception that a society of certain components is fighting against born or installed antagonisms, the feeling of opposition between the world and them, public teaching must be taught that includes values of the youngest. Let's go back to my mandate, in which the First Disposition prescribes the special advice to collect all the information. And to avoid this task, my office has put together a method of evaluation that gives a systematic character to its approach and has developed a system of management of information at least of which it collects and records useful information concerning the worrying situations around the world. And thanks to this system, my office receives daily confidential and public information providing different sources, especially the various centers of the UN situation, the civil society organization, the press organization of the university world, etc. In specializing in information, we proceed to an evaluation of the received information, we select those who present an interest and compiles in hebdomada and mensual reports that are issued to partner entities in the UN system. The office has also created a geographic data base in which information is recorded in relation to my mandate, such as the incidents affecting security, violence attacks and the rape of three people. This base offers the possibility to map the information and to perform quantitative analysis. On the other hand, the office has established a systematic analysis of worrying situations. It is a tool for evaluating risks applicable to all situations that comprise eight indicators or risk factors, such as the state of relations between groups of people and discriminatory practices aimed at such or such groups, the constitutional date of genocidal crime, the presence of illegal weapons and armed elements, the structural or conjonctural conditions putting the state in the inability to prevent a genocidal crime or the declining factors such as the lack of election or the non-constitutional power. This case is presented in the form of a document that you can, on the other hand, consult on our website. To be able to evaluate such or such situations in a deeper way, with the help of the analysis framework, my office is employing regional references that do circumstantial research, collect information from colleagues from the headquarters or local offices in the United States and experts from countries concerned with the organization of civil society, etc. And if the office does not manage to obtain the information that it needs to correctly evaluate a situation, an investigation mission can be sent on site. The conclusions are communicated by David, address to the Secretary-General and public statements. They also serve as internal decision-making processes for the Secretary-General at different levels. The management system of the information and the analysis framework developed by my office is for the United Nations. We use it in the same way, especially to collect and analyze the information on situations that lead to a risk of genocidal crimes, of ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. The framework has been largely diffused. It is now used by other departments, offices and institutions of the United Nations, for example, special rapporteurs on the contemporary forms of racism, the racial discrimination of xenophobia and intolerance associated with it. Regional organizations such as the African Union and the Economic Community of the United States of Africa have also adopted it. My office currently works on the elaboration of an analog analysis framework for crimes against humanity. For the help of other actors to identify the factors of risk and to intervene, my office joined in 2009 in a training program designed for the UN staff, the United States, the regional organizations, the civil society organizations. This program aims to strengthen their capacity to help them identify the factors of risk, to collect, evaluate and manage the information on these factors and to elaborate the mechanisms in the scope and to define and apply preventive measures. Our training stages on measures meet the particular needs of the participants. In the last three years, we have organized in 16 countries, such as Colombia, Croatia, Egypt, Lebanon, Poland, Thailand and the South, to participate in more than 25 nationalities. Our training program is in collaboration with partners of the UN system, such as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Governmental Organizations, such as the Auschwitz Institute of Peace and Reconciliation and the Siegeldagen Institute. Allow me to give you an example of what we do in terms of training. By adopting a protocol drawn from the Convention for Prevention and the Refression of Genocide Crime in 1948 and the Statue of Rome of the International Penal Code, the International Conference on the Region of Grand Lac has become the first sub-regional organ to take part in an exclusively dedicated mechanism to prevention and repression of mass atrocities. In 2010, it created a regional committee for prevention and repression of genocide crimes, war crimes, human rights crimes and all forms of discrimination in which members have decided to take legal and administrative measures in view of creating national committees. My office has provided technical assistance to the regional committee and to the three national committees created in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya, especially by organizing training workshops on the implementation of strategies and pre-cross alert mechanisms and the elaboration of action plans for committees. At the end of October, I had these days in Uganda where I had very rich support with the highest government authorities. The representative of Interpol in Kampala is preparing my exchanges with the interior minister who asked for training for the Ugandan police. I gave my agreement and certainly Interpol will provide its support. As far as the small structure is involved in a vast mission, we are trying to use the resources at our disposal and by privileging the training of people who think they can influence things by relying on policies, decisions and measures aimed at improving the protection of the population against atrocities. The interest associated with this program and the support I receive are very encouraging. My office is also very concerned with the situation that is prevailing in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo according to reports that the Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs was published in October 2012. More than 475,000 people were displaced in the country from the north and south of the eastern province since the current crisis in April 2012. A crisis that you saw in the images from last night on TV has become very, very disturbing. More than 50,000 people were refused in Luganda and 25,000 in Rwanda. Armed groups, especially the M23, the FDLR and the MISMAIMAI, are responsible for the killing of civilians of mass rape, of forced recruitment, especially in children's homes, of child abuse and torture acts among other violations. We must find the means to put an end to these atrocities. I would like to finish by observing that in January 2012, the Secretary General Ban Ki-moon wished that 2012 would be the year of prevention. Provinces have been accomplished this year by young democracies who are looking for a more representative institution. However, the tragic escalation of violence in Syria makes us measure the path that remains to be taken, before we even join together to prevent or stop atrocities and show how important it is to succeed. We all have a role to play to be effective in preventing the determination and initiatives at a local, national and international level, which means, in particular, 100 years to build tolerant and open societies to diversity. I would like to once again thank you for having organized this meeting of immense importance and for offering us the possibility to dialogue in a constructive way and to discuss these recent issues. I hope that this is not the only step on the path of the Union that allows us to transform speech and intention into act. I thank you.
