                     Expressing its deep concern about the grave and persistent threat that piracy,
               armed robbery and transnational organized crime at sea in the Gulf of Guinea pose to
               international navigation, security, and sustainable development of States in the

               countries,
                     Reaffirming that international law, as reflected in the United Nations
               Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 10 December 1982, sets out the legal
               framework within which all activities in the oceans and seas must be carried out,
               including countering piracy and armed robbery at sea, and the provisions of this

               the Safety of Maritime Navigation, the 1988 Protocol of the Suppression of Unlawful
               Acts Against the Safety of Fixed Platforms Located on the Continental Shelf, and
               their 2005 Protocols, which broadly establish the framework for collaboration
               between States Parties,
                    Affirming its respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the States of
               the Gulf of Guinea and their neighbours, and reiterating that States in the region have
               a leadership role to play in countering the threat and meaningfully addressing the
               underlying causes of piracy and armed robbery at sea in the Gulf of Guinea, in close
               cooperation with the African Union (AU), the Economic Community of Central
               African States (ECCAS), the Economic Community of West African States
               (ECOWAS), the Gulf of Guinea Commission (GGC), other organizations in the

               durable eradication of piracy and armed robbery at sea in the Gulf of Guinea,
               especially following the multifaceted repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic,
                     Expressing its concern over the threat that piracy and armed robbery at sea pose
               to the safety of seafarers, including through their being taken as hostages, as well as
               over the violence employed by pirates and persons involved in piracy and armed
               robbery at sea in the Gulf of Guinea, and over the adverse humanitarian impact on
               the seafarers and their family members,
                     Further expressing its concern about the destabilizing and negative impact on
               West and Central Africa and neighbouring States of transnational organized crime, oil
               and cargo theft, illicit trafficking and diversion of arms, drug trafficking, human
               trafficking, illegal trade and smuggling, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing,

               these issues,
                     Condemning that pirate networks continue to rely on kidnapping and hostagetaking, in the context of weak national capacities, to help generate funding to purchase
               weapons, gain recruits, and continue their operational activities, thereby jeopardizing
               the safety and security of seafarers and restricting the flow of commerce,
                     Expressing serious concern over the cost of piracy to States in the region
               through economic impacts on trade, investments, development, and growth, noting
               the study supported by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) on
               “Pirates of the Gulf of Guinea, a cost analysis for the coastal states” and its findings
               of significant direct, indirect and opportunity costs to the region, encouraging the
               region, with the support of partners, to address these findings, their underlying causes,
               and to strengthen the measures to counter piracy, and in this regard welcoming the
               interest given to this issue by the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC),

               Interregional Coordination Centre (ICC), the Abidjan Interregional Maritime Security
               Institute, the Regional Maritime Safety and Security Centres, and the creation of zonal
               centres under the auspices of the Multinational Maritime Coordination Centres,
                    Further welcoming existing national initiatives by States in the region to counter
               piracy and armed robbery at sea in the Gulf of Guinea, including existing and new

           and Central Africa and the Sahel region,
               1.     Strongly condemns piracy and armed robbery at sea, including acts of
           murder, kidnapping and hostage-taking, in the Gulf of Guinea;
                2.     Stresses the primary responsibility of the States of the Gulf of Guinea to

                       The Security Council,
                     Reaffirming its determination to combat impunity for all those responsible for

               for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) being brought to justice and, in this regard,
               recalling the mandate of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals
               (Mechanism) established by resolution 1966 (2010) of 22 December 2010,
                    Recalling Article 25 and Article 26 of the Statute of the Mechanism, set out in
               Annex 1 to resolution 1966 (2010), concerning the supervision of the enforcement of
               sentences and pardon or commutation of sentences, respectively,
                       Having regard to Article 14, paragraph 4 of the Statute of the Mechanism,
                     Recalling its decision in resolution 2529 (2020) adopted on 25 June 2020
               appointing the Prosecutor of the Mechanism for a period from 1 July 2020 until
               30 June 2022, and that the Prosecutor of the Mechanism may be appointed or
               reappointed for a two-year term, notwithstanding Article 14, paragraph 4 of the
               Statute of the Mechanism,
                   Having considered the nomination by the Secretary-General of Mr. Serge
               Brammertz as Prosecutor of the Mechanism (S/2022/486),
                     Recalling the strong need for States to cooperate with the Mechanism to achieve
               the arrest and surrender of those remaining fugitives indicted by the ICTR, and, in
               this regard, recalling also General Assembly resolution 74/273 of 21 April 2020,

               Mechanism, including in completing its functions, before the end of this initial period
               and every two years thereafter, and that the Mechanism shall continue to operate for
               subsequent periods of two years following each such review, unless the Security
               Council decides otherwise,
                       Noting that the current period of operation of the Mechanism ends on 30 June

S/RES/2637 (2022)

                    Having conducted its review of the progress of the work of the Mechanism,
               including in completing its functions, since the last review of the Mechanism in June
               2020, pursuant to paragraph 17 of resolution 1966 (2010) and in accordance with the
               procedure set out in the statement of its President of 31 March 2022 ( S/PRST/2022/2),
                    Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
                    1.   Decides to appoint Mr. Serge Brammertz as Prosecutor of the International
               Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals with effect from 1 July 2022 until
               30 June 2024;
                    2.    Urges States to cooperate fully with the Mechanism;
                    3.    Continues to urge all States, especially States where fugitives are
               suspected of being at large, to intensify their cooperation with and render all
               necessary assistance to the Mechanism, in particular to achieve the arrest and
               surrender of all remaining fugitives indicted by the ICTR as soon as possible and to
               cooperate to enforce sentences pronounced by the ICTR, ICTY and the Mechanism,
               and welcomes the continuing support already provided by States in this regard;
                     4.    Notes with concern that despite reaching an earlier agreement, the
               Mechanism continues to face problems in the relocation of acquitted persons and
               convicted persons who have completed serving their sentence, emphasises the
               importance of finding expeditious and durable solutions to these problems, including
               as part of a reconciliation process, encourages all efforts to that end, and, in this
               regard, reiterates its call upon all States to cooperate with and render all necessary
               assistance to the Mechanism;
                     5.    Notes that decisions on the relocation of persons who have been acquitted
               or completed their sentences should take into account inter alia the readiness of the
               state of origin to accept its nationals, the consent or any objections raised by the
               individuals to be relocated and the availability of other reloca tion states;
                     6.    Takes note of the recent judgments of the Mechanism and developments in
               locating fugitives, commends the cooperation between the Mechanism, States and
               international organisations, which contributed to these developments, and recognises
               these as important steps of cooperation with the Mechanism, in accordance with
               paragraph 3 of resolution 2529 (2020); and further notes the Prosecutor’s findings on
               12 May 2022 and on 18 May 2022 of the deaths of Protais Mpiranya on 5 October
               2006 and Phénéas Munyarugarama on 28 February 2002 respectively, that Mpiranya
               was the last fugitive of the ICTR expected to be tried before the Mechanism, and that
               the remaining four fugitives indicted by the ICTR re main at large and are expected to
               be tried by Rwanda, subject to the conditions set out in the relevant referral decisions;
                     7.    Emphasises that, in view of the substantially reduced nature of the residual
               functions, the Mechanism was established to be a small, temporary and efficient
               structure, whose functions and size will diminish over time, with a small number of
               staff commensurate with its reduced functions, and, recognising in this regard the full
               commitment to these elements expressed by the Mechanism , requests the Mechanism
               to continue to be guided in its activities by these elements;
                     8.   Welcomes the report (S/2022/319) submitted by the Mechanism to the
               Council pursuant to its Presidential Statement (S/PRST/2022/2) for the purposes of
               the review of the progress of the work of the Mechanism, including in completing its
               functions, as required by paragraph 17 of resolution 1966 (2010), and the report of
               the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) on the evaluation of the methods
               and work of the Mechanism (S/2022/148), taking note of the OIOS’s conclusions on
               the Mechanism’s implementation of the OIOS recommendations and paragraph 9 of
               resolution 2529(2020);

2/3                                                                                22-09854

                                                                                S/RES/2637 (2022)

                 9.    Takes note of the work of the Mechanism to date, in particular
           development of a legal and regulatory framework, procedures, and working practices
           consistent with the Statute of the Mechanism and drawing on lessons learned from
           and best practices of the ICTY and ICTR and of other tribunals, including use of
           rosters to ensure judges are utilized only when required, enabling judges to work
           remotely to the maximum extent possible, and minimizing the need for full bench
           participation in pre-trial and pre-appeal hearing work, in order to produce substantial
           reductions in the costs of judicial activities compared to those of the ICTY and ICTR,
           and commends the Mechanism for its efforts to produce such reductions;
                  10. Notes further the views and recommendations made with regard to the
           Mechanism’s work by the Council’s Informal Working Group on International
           Tribunals, as reflected in this resolution, and requests the Mechanism to take into
           account those views and implement the recommendations, and to continue to take
           steps to further enhance efficiency and effective and transparent management, in
           particular: (i) full implementation of the outstanding recommendations of the OIOS;
           (ii) production of clear and focused projections of completion timelines for all of the
           Mechanism’s activities including, in particular, in relation to ongoing cases and the
           supervision of the enforcement of sentences at the earliest stage possible and
           disciplined adherence thereto; (iii) continued ensuring of geographic diversity and
           gender balance of staff, while ensuring continued professional expertise;
           (iv) continued implementation of a human resources policy consistent with its
           temporary mandate; (v) further reduction of costs, including through, but not limited
           to, flexible staff engagement; and (vi) coordination and information sharing across
           the three organs of the Mechanism on matters that affected them equally in order to
           ensure systematic thinking and planning about the future;
                11. Calls upon the Mechanism, as part of its completion strategy, to provide
           options regarding the transfer of its remaining activities in du e course;
                 12. Reiterates its request to the Mechanism to include in its six-monthly
           reports to the Council information on progress achieved in implementing this
           resolution, as well as detailed information on the staffing and overall posts of the
           Mechanism, respective workload and related costs with breakdown by division and
           detailed projections of the duration of residual functions based on available data;
                13. Recalls the importance of ensuring the rights of persons detained on the
           authority of the Mechanism in accordance with applicable international standards,
           including those related to health care;
                14. Recalls its encouragement to the Mechanism in resolution 2422 (2018) to
           consider an appropriate solution to the approach to early release of persons convicted
           by the ICTR, and notes that during the review period from 1 July 2018 to 30 June
           2020, conditions on early release in appropriate cases were put in place and the
           Mechanism refined procedures in this regard;
                 15. Notes the conclusion of the Council’s review of the progress of the work
           of the Mechanism, including in completing its functions, since the last review of the
           Mechanism in June 2020, pursuant to resolution 1966 (2010);
                16. Recalls, with a view to strengthening independent oversight of the
           Mechanism, that, as set out in its Presidential Statement ( S/PRST/2022/2), future
           reviews carried out pursuant to paragraph 17 of resolution 1966 (2010) shall include
           evaluation reports sought from the OIOS with respect to the methods and work of the
           Mechanism;
                17.   Decides to remain seized of the matter.

                    Having considered the reports of the Secretary-General on the United Natio n s
               Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) of 18 March 2022 (S/2022/247) and 1 Jun e
               2022 (S/2022/447), and also reaffirming its resolution 1308 (2000) of 17 July 2000,

               observe the ceasefire,
                     Expressing concern that the ongoing military activities conducted by any acto r
               in the area of separation continue to have the potential to escalate tensions between
               Israel and the Syrian Arab Republic, jeopardize the ceasefire between the two

                    Expressing its appreciation in this regard to UNDOF’s liaison efforts to preven t
