“It is therefore quite important, as pointed out by Ambassador Munoz, that we continue to focus on the need to build States' capacities, in particular to strengthen border controls to combat terrorism. As regards the financing of terrorism, apart from other measures, one important step required is the fine- tuning of the international response and extending assistance to States to help them improve their normal financial systems and to prevent all forms of terrorist financing. The international financing system itself needs to become more competitive so as to prevent the large-scale use of the informal channels that become the sources of terrorist financing. As regards Pakistan's policy role on Al Qaeda and the Taliban, and terrorism in general, let me say a few words.”

“Thirdly, the consolidated list of individuals and entities continues to be a key tool for the Committee, but there is a need to further improve the quality of the information that is provided to assist prosecutors and national authorities to proceed against the listed individuals and entities. At times, this is not sufficient to stand up in the judicial process. In this context, we support the Chairman's recommendation that a system of consultations and pre-notifications between member States submitting names for inclusion on the Committee's list be encouraged. The Chairman's report has confirmed that, in many cases, States lack capacity to combat terrorism effectively.”

“In the context of today's discussions, my delegation would like to make a few points that we think are important. First, the Committee needs to evaluate the performance of States not simply on the basis of their country reports, but on the basis, mostly, of the actions taken on the ground to counter-terrorism. The practical combat of terrorism must remain the first priority of the activities of the Committee. Secondly, we have noted the usefulness of the visits of the Chairman of the Committee to various countries - including, this time, to Africa and Europe, and also, last year, to Pakistan - in trying to bring the Committee closer to the ground, so to speak, in addressing the issues that are involved with regard to sanctions against Al Qaeda and the Taliban.”

“I would now like to make a statement in my capacity as representative of Pakistan. I would like to add my voice and that of my delegation to those speakers who have thanked Ambassador Mufioz for presenting the first 120-day oral report to the Council, as required in paragraph 12 of resolution 1526 (2004). Pakistan fully supports the work of the Al Qaeda and Taliban sanctions Committee. We have taken note of the annual report on the activities of the Committee in 2003, as contained in document S/2004/281. We also appreciate the work done by the new Monitoring Team in the brief period since its establishment. We would like to commend the Chairman of the Committee for his active performance and his contribution, which were reflected in the report presented to the Council this morning.”

“While the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan would be mainly responsible for coordination in that regard, it is our expectation and hope that the High Commissioner's staff, with its experience and its data, will be able to lend its assistance in that process, including by facilitating the registration of Afghan refugees prior to the elections. I would be very grateful to know if the High Commissioner has any information or comments that he would wish to make on this aspect. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. Mr. Lubbers has a lot of questions to address, and I give him the floor.”

“In April 2001, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) signed a tripartite agreement for the voluntary repatriation of Afghan refugees. I would like to ask whether there is any road map or plan drawn up for the implementation of that agreement and, if so, what progress has been achieved in that context. My last point is that, as the High Commissioner is aware, the Afghan Cabinet of President Karzai is finalizing the electoral law, and it has been agreed in principle that the Afghan refugees in Pakistan and Iran will also participate in the elections.”

“For peacekeeping, once the Council is able to take a decision, we are then able to mobilize the resources required for the deployment of the agreed peacekeeping operations. On the contrary, with regard to humanitarian response, we are dependent, first of all, on voluntary contributions from Governments and also on the response of the host Governments on the ground with regard to access and cooperation. Would Mr. Lubbers have any thoughts about how one could synchronize the international security and financial responses to calm crisis situations as they arise? I have two specific questions with regard to Afghanistan. I was very grateful to note Mr. Lubbers's mention of Pakistan as an example of hosting 4 million Afghan refugees over some 25 years. Many of them are still there.”

“I shall now offer some comments and questions in my capacity as the representative of Pakistan. First of all, I would like to thank High Commissioner Lubbers for having come here to brief us in such a comprehensive way. He has left a lot of food for thought for members of the Council. It is very timely, I think, that his briefing comes after the Council's discussion on the question of peacekeeping on 17 May and before the discussion that we intend to have on 28 May on the issue of complex crises and the United Nations response. I think what is important to note, perhaps, is that in any crisis, there are two aspects that immediately arise. The first is security and the second is the humanitarian requirements of people. We have a slight dichotomy in the international response.”

“These actions will further aggravate the humanitarian situation prevailing in the occupied territories, particularly in Rafah. The ability of the Security Council and the international community to bring durable peace to Palestine and the Middle East on the basis of its own resolutions and the Quartet's road map can produce positive results throughout the Arab and Islamic world. Conversely, our failure to do so will further intensify frustration and anger among the Arab and Islamic peoples, increase insecurity and instability in the entire region and escalate support for terrorism and extremism. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. The Permanent Observer of Palestine has asked for the floor. I give him the floor.”

“It is therefore a matter of some satisfaction that the Security Council has at last been able to pronounce itself on the continued Violations of international law and humanitarian norms in the occupied Palestinian territories. It is unfortunate that, in Palestine as in certain other parts of the world, the legitimate campaign to root out terrorism has been abused by the occupying Power to suppress the legitimate right of peoples to self-determination. Peace in the holy land, as elsewhere, cannot be established merely by imposing a fait accompli on the weaker party. The Israeli actions are bound to further worsen the security situation, which is already volatile due to the continued Israeli occupation of Arab territories.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Pakistan. Pakistan voted in favour of the resolution, which, in our view, is the minimum necessary response to the Israeli military incursions in Rafah that have left scores of Palestinian civilians dead or fatally injured. Pakistan condemns these actions. The blatant attack on demonstrators protesting against the mass military operation today is the latest violation of international humanitarian law, especially of Israel's obligations as an occupying Power under the Geneva Conventions. The Security Council has the primary responsibility to maintain international peace and security. We believe that silence at this critical juncture is not an option for the Council.”
