A secure and stable regional environment is imperative for the realization of the fundamental objectives of this resolution. Pakistan continues to hope that there will be parallel progress in resolving the other outstanding conflicts and disputes that bedevil this region.

3. “It is our expectation that the responsibilities entrusted to the Authority under this resolution will be exercised transparently and fairly and, above all, in the interests of the Iraqi people. We welcome the continuing role that the United Nations will play in the oversight functions. It is necessary, in that context, to recall that under the Charter the powers delegated by the Security Council under this resolution are not open-ended or unqualified. They should be exercised in ways that conform with "the principles of justice and international law" mentioned in Article 1 of the Charter, and especially in conformity with the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Regulations, besides the Charter itself. The resolution, as has been noted by the representative of the United Kingdom, is not an omnibus resolution.”

The Iraqi people have suffered tremendously over the past few decades. Their suffering must now come to an end. Pakistan sincerely attempted to prevent another conflict in the Gulf. We regretted the outbreak of the conflict.”

In September 2001, Secretary-General Kofi Annan stated: "[If] the world can show that it will carry on, that it will persevere in creating a stronger, more just, more benevolent and more genuine international community across all lines of religion and race, then terrorism will have failed." (The New York Times, 2] September 200], p. A-35) Spain is well qualified to guide such an effort.”

We believe, nevertheless, that the principal role of the CTC is to assist States to effectively counter terrorism. We believe that there are four other considerations that need to be taken into account in the campaign against terrorism. First, we need to address the underlying causes of terrorism in order to prevent the emergence of terrorists. We believe that political and economic justice is essential for that. Secondly, as Secretary-General Kofi Annan has said, we must ensure that counter-terrorism measures do not mutate into measures used to cloak or justify violations of human rights. Thirdly, the right to self-determination, where recognized by the international community, cannot be delegitimized through association with terrorism.”

We congratulate Spain on assuming the chairmanship of the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC). For more than 20 years, Pakistan, like Spain, has been one of the principal victims of terrorism. We condemn terrorism in all its forms, including State terrorism. Since 11 September 2001, Pakistan has been at the forefront of the campaign against terrorism, and we have made many sacrifices in that struggle. We believe that the Security Council has a central role in the campaign against terrorism, and we support the strengthening of that role.”
