 | | It is an honour to speak to the General Assembly under the presidency of the Foreign Minister of Uruguay, Didier Opertti Badán, an international lawyer with a notable record of service to his country, to the Organization of American States and to the United Nations. |
 | | We in the Court recall with the greatest respect and affection the two distinguished Uruguayan Members of the Court, Enrique Armand-Ugon and, more recently, Eduardo Jiménez de Aréchaga, who, like Dr. Opertti, served as a Minister of Uruguay, and who was President of the Court. |
 | | In presenting to the General Assembly the Annual Report of the International Court of Justice, permit me initially to recall that this year the international community took an extraordinary step towards the creation of an International Criminal Court, a court to try individuals for grave, specified international crimes. |
