1. “Finally, we commend the efforts of the Council in adopting previous resolutions pertaining to the subject within a short period, most recently in resolution 2170 (2014), which condemns the recruitment of foreign fighters by ISIL and the Nusra Front in Iraq and Syria. That shows that the Security Council has a clear strategy on fighting terrorism. We also hope that the serious efforts of the Council will include allowing Member States to participate in its discussions in order to ensure that our efforts for combating terrorism are effectively coordinated.”

2. “On our part, the United Arab Emirates is committed to combating violent extremism and its related beliefs and terrorist acts and coordinates through its membership in the Global Counter-Terrorism Forum with the other partners to ensure that their territories are not used for disseminating terrorist acts and other related crimes. By hosting the Hedayah Centre, the United Arab Emirates is also contributing to the international community in the area of sharing best practices for countering violent extremism in all its forms. At the same time, we will work on strengthening preventive policies through the establishment of centres for the rehabilitation of people affected by extremist and terrorist ideologies.”

3. “The United Arab Emirates is currently conducting a study on the mechanisms for preventing terrorist organizations from using social networks in recruitment. Thirdly, we must tighten national legislation and laws to ensure the criminalization, prosecution and punishment of the people involved. In that context, I would like to point out that the United Arab Emirates recently adopted a strict federal law to punish those found guilty of inciting terrorism or who have carried out terrorist acts. Fourthly, we need to take all the necessary steps to combat acts of violent extremism, including by promoting educational and rehabilitation programmes for unemployed youths to shield them from incitement and recruitment by terrorist campaigns.”

4. “Addressing this threat cannot be done through security and military measures alone. It also requires the international community to pursue a unified, comprehensive strategy that prevents the recruitment of terrorist elements through the following strategies. First, we must strengthen international cooperation at all levels, particularly in exchanging information on recruitment campaigns for young foreign fighters and on their movements. It is also important to establish clear and specific criteria for regulating that process. Secondly, it is important to tighten control over social networks, which are used in attracting a larger number of deluded youths to achieve the vicious goals under religious slogans, which have no connection with any divine faith.”

5. “Therefore, we appeal to the international community to continue its efforts to eliminate a principal element contributing to terrorism - the recruitment of foreign fighters - and to ensure that the effort becomes part ofa comprehensive strategy aimed at eliminating other elements that fuel terrorism. The United Arab Emirates strongly condemns the recruitment of foreign fighters and related financing activities. We consider such operations one of the most dangerous elements that contribute to international terrorism. We also emphasize that the dangerous proportions of the issue are not limited to areas of conflict, but also include safe areas from which those fighters are recruited. The United Arab Emirates therefore welcomes the resolution adopted today and regards it as an important and crucial document.”

6. “Today we continue to suffer from the same threats, and even more serious ones, due to the emergence of various forms of violence that are not limited to committing murder and kidnapping and causing displacement, they also include sexual violence against women as a prime target, which is always overlooked during talk about the crimes committed by those organizations. The acts committed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in both Iraq and Syria are the largest proof of that and have become a source of concern for the United Arab Emirates.”

7. “The acts of terrorists organizations, which have recently seized large numbers of cities and villages and directly engaged in fuelling conflicts and committing grave violations against innocent people, including assaults, kidnappings, displacements and mass murders, serve to confirm our belief that there is a common threat facing all Member States that requires a united effort to take strong and immediate measures. The threat we face today has been exacerbated recently by the lack of deterrent actions in the past. Two decades ago, we faced the threat of Al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations whose acts were multiplying across the Arabian Peninsula and beyond.”

We emphasize the sovereignty and integrity of Syria and the need for a political process that would end the bloodshed and preserve the unity of Syria through an orderly transition of authority. The United Arab Emirates has shouldered its responsibilities towards the Syrian people by providing relief and aid to the refugees in neighbouring Arab States and by supporting Arab international initiatives in that regard. We renew our support for the efforts of the Joint Special Representative of the United Nations and the League ofArab States, Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, to resolve the crisis peacefully, in accordance with the terms of reference of his mandate.”

We call on Israel to end the blockade, pursuant to resolution 1860 (2009); to remove all its military checkpoints from other Palestinian cities and villages; and immediately and unconditionally to release Palestinian prisoners held in inhumane conditions in Israeli jails. The United Arab Emirates is following with great concern the deteriorating humanitarian conditions of the Syrian people and Syrian refugees and the escalating violence and displacement in the Syrian Arab Republic.”

14. “The continued expansion by the Israeli occupation authorities of settlement activities in the heart of the West Bank, Jerusalem and its surroundings, especially after the ascension of Palestine as a non-member Observer State; the continued expulsion of Arab inhabitants from their homes; and the expropriation of their properties are blatant evidence of the insincerity of Israel's claims about its desire for peace, and further undermine efforts to create a Palestinian State and its national authority. The gross legal and human rights violations carried out by Israel, the occupying Power, against the Palestinian people and its lack ofrespect for its international obligations are further evidence of that insincerity.”

The question of Palestine remains the foremost issue in the Middle East, and the heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Undoubtedly, the Arab-Israeli conflict, which has lasted for over six decades, will not be resolved until the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories comes to an end; the legitimate rights of the Palestinians, as acknowledged by legitimate international declarations, are realized; and a sovereign, independent and contiguous Palestinian State is established.”

17. “In conclusion, while we think that piracy constitutes a great threat to regional and international peace and security, we also look forward to strengthening partnerships in international efforts to totally eradicate it. We hope that our deliberations today will advance the vital role that the Security Council plays in strengthening the comprehensive international strategy to combat piracy.”

18. “The United Arab Emirates has also increased its direct financial, development and humanitarian assistance to several countries where piracy is flourishing, notably Somalia, so as to enable them to achieve economic recovery. We provide financing for projects to contain unemployment and to provide decent work for young people so as to dissuade them from engaging in piracy. Following the end of the transitional period in Somalia in August, those initiatives included assisting the Government by providing ships, stations and other necessary equipment, as well as funds so that their national forces, especially the coast guard, could develop their capacities to fight piracy off their coast.”

We organized the first and second high- level conferences in Dubai on a regional response to piracy in order to coordinate the regional response with international efforts to combat piracy and to strengthen public-private partnerships. That initiative has raised $2 million for the Trust Fund to Support Initiatives of States Countering Piracy off the Coast of Somalia. There are also initiatives to improve judicial systems to try pirates detained in various countries, especially in Somalia, Kenya and Seychelles.”

20. “The United Arab Emirates has taken all necessary legislative steps to reject and criminalize acts of piracy, smuggling, kidnapping and money-laundering. Organized crime has also been eager to increase its operations in the region. Our national efforts to combat piracy and armed robbery at sea include the adoption of a comprehensive national strategy that focuses on several important factors, such as participation in military operations to combat piracy and international commitment to track, detain and try pirates and to suppress their financiers and cut off their resources, in accordance with international law. The United Arab Emirates has been active in regional and international arrangements to strengthen the international response.”

21. “Those impacts necessitate coordination and the engagement of the Security Council to face the phenomenon. We must not only enhance military, judicial and legal procedures but also make fundamental changes in the security and stability conditions on land. Moreover, we need to address the root causes of piracy, such as civil conflicts and humanitarian crises in the coastal countries, which make for vulnerable security situations that encourage acts of piracy. As with the successes in international efforts in Somalia, we must help affected countries manage their internal crises, demarcate their maritime borders, defend their exclusive economic zones, re-energize their national economies and build their national capacities.”

22. “Mr. Al-Jarman (United Arab Emirates) (spoke in Arabic): The United Arab Emirates expresses its deep satisfaction with the recent decrease in acts of piracy as a result of the coordinated efforts of the international community to combat the phenomenon. Combating piracy and fighting impunity are indeed important, and we appreciate the leading role that the Security Council is playing, especially by encouraging efforts to close security gaps in the maritime areas most affectedthrough naval counter-piracy operations, legal procedures to detain and try pirates and multilateral cooperation, in particular among concerned Governments. The phenomenon of piracy has a great negative impact on national economies and on the shipping and insurance industries. It also impedes the delivery of humanitarian assistance, thereby exacerbating human suffering.”

We also call on Israel to accede to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and to subject all its nuclear facilities to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) comprehensive safeguards system. In that regard, we urge the Islamic Republic of Iran to cooperate fully with the IAEA and to fulfil its international obligations, thereby dispelling all suspicions and fears regarding its nuclear programme. We hope that a peaceful solution will be found to this crisis that will ease tensions in our region by ensuring the transparency of the Iranian nuclear programme and demonstrating its peaceful nature.”

We also demand the immediate and unconditional release of Palestinians who are detained and languishing in inhumane conditions in Israeli prisons and detention centres.

We call upon the international community, especially the Security Council, to fully fulfil its obligations under the Charter to persuade Israel to immediately cease its dangerous policies. This should include rescinding its unilateral and illegal measures taken in this regard and creating the appropriate environment for the urgent resumption of peace negotiations with a View to achieving a comprehensive, just and lasting solution of the Palestinian question on the basis of the two-State solution, as set forth in the road map and the Arab Peace Initiative.”

Its continued evictions of the Arab population from their homes and confiscation of their land and property, both public and private, undermine the foundations of the Palestinian State and the Palestinian Authority.”

43. “Accepting Palestine's request for admission as a full Member of the United Nations does not at all mean closing the door to the continuation of the Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations; rather, it would mean a positive step towards supporting efforts to soon resume peace negotiations. The halt in the negotiations led by the Quartet is due primarily to Israel's failure to abide by the Quartet's work plan. Therefore, the urgent and unconditional resumption of those negotiations is contingent above all on making Israel fully and immediately cease all illegal settlement activity throughout the Palestinian territories, especially East Jerusalem. It will also require a commitment to a clear and specific time frame for those negotiations so as to reach a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement based on the two-State solution.”
