  1. “Our Government looks forward not only to an urgent effort to end the terrorist threat but also to constructive relations with all countries of the world, especially in the region of Iraq, with the neighbouring States that stand together with us in this confrontation. This relationship will be based on political and military cooperation and common interests.”

  2. “Fifthly, support is required from the entire world for refugees and for the reconstruction of cities destroyed by ISIL, whether through occupation or through the use of car bombs that explode in cities and neighbourhoods. Iraq has been successful in halting the progress of ISIL with the help of our heroic security forces and our courageous people, who have responded to the call of the religious and spiritual leaders in Najaf and the political leadership. Iraq has also succeeded in achieving a peaceful transition of power and the creation of a national alliance according to a specific time table; this is a priority in the combat against terrorism.”

  3. “First, they must provide all forms of support and assistance, military and security assistance to the Government of Iraq in order to enable it to defeat terrorism and protect the unity, independence and sovereignty of Iraq with respect to its land, air and water, and, secondly, they must block all sources of financing and financial networks, including the purchase of oil from areas under the control of ISIL. The third goal is stopping extremists from entering Iraq and putting an end to all forms of logistical support, including the pursuit of and the dismantling and criminalization of recruitment networks that bring in terrorists from throughout the world. Fourthly, they must prevent ISIL from using technology to promote its ideology, including through the Internet, and from spreading its horrifying propaganda throughout the media.”

  4. “Because the threat posed by the organization is not limited to Iraq, international support is required to confront it. We will not allow regional or international disagreements to affect the priority and primacy of the threat or to break up the international alliance against terrorism. I reaffirm that in Iraq our only allegiance is to Iraq and its people. While we express our gratitude to all the States that have stood beside us in the military, humanitarian and political fields, locally and internationally, we also affirm that the defeat of terrorism in Iraq is the cornerstone for its defeat throughout the world. We therefore call on the Security Council and all peace-loving nations to do the following.”

  5. “First, it exploits Takfiri religious philosophy as ideological cover that foments hatred for the Other and takes pleasure in bloodshed and beheadings, Secondly, financial networks present in several States provide great financial liquidity, as well as from oil smuggling networks in Iraq and the cities and territories under its control. Thirdly, it enjoys the support of recruitment networks throughout the world that draw in members and facilitate recruits' entry into Iraq. Fourthly, media and propaganda networks spread news about the so- called success of the organization, which helps to recruit members. Fifthly, it derives strength from the remains of the Al-Ba'ath fascist party and the supporters of former president Saddam.”

  6. “Those areas have suffered from sectarian and religious cleansing that has changed their demographics and destroyed their cultural and religious heritage. Moreover, car bombs are exploding in the streets of Baghdad, Babylon, Tuz Khurmatu and various other cities and towns in Iraq, targeting and killing dozens of people every day. ISIL, which is a combination and mixture of extremists and the remains of the Al-Ba'ath fascist party, falsely claims allegiance to Islam. It is actually causing more damage to Islam by adopting specific sectarian rhetoric while threatening all sects and religious groups in Iraq. Furthermore, the organization is not an Iraqi organization; it is a transnational organization that derives its strength from the following sources.”

  7. “Mr. Al-Abadi (Iraq) (spoke in Arabic): I thank you, Mr. President, for holding this high-level meeting, which reflects the attention you are giving to the question of terrorism, and for inviting Iraq to participate. I also wish to thank you personally for the support you have provided to Iraq as it strives to confront terrorism. Iraq stands today in the vanguard of the fight against terrorism and against the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which has attacked my country and displaced thousands of our citizens in Mosul, in the north, occupied our territory, killed hundreds of Iraqi citizens on sectarian grounds in Tal Afar and other places, and targeted religious minorities including the Shabak, Yazidis, Christians and others.”
