1. “As Pope Francis reiterated during his visit to Albania last Sunday, "Let no one consider themselves to be the armour of God while planning and carrying out acts of violence and oppression. May no one use religion as a pretext for actions against human dignity and against the fundamental rights of every man and woman, above all, the right to life and the right of everyone to religious freedom".”

2. “Young people travelling abroad to join the ranks of terrorist organizations often come from poor immigrant families, disillusioned by what they feel is a situation of exclusion and by the lack of integration and values in certain societies. Together with the legal tools and resources to prevent citizens from becoming foreign terrorist fighters, Governments should engage with civil society to address the problems of communities most at risk of radicalization and recruitment and to achieve their satisfactory social integration. The Holy See, which is a sovereign international subject that also represents a world faith community, affirms that people of faith have a grave responsibility to condemn those who seek to detach faith from reason and instrumentalize faith as a justification for violence.”

3. “Pope John Paul II reminded us in the wake of the tragic events of 11 September 2001 that the right to defend countries and peoples from acts of terrorism does not provide license to meet violence with violence, but rather must be exercised with respect for moral and legal limits in the choice of ends and means. The guilty must be correctly identified, since criminal culpability is always personal and cannot be extended to the nation, ethnic group or religion to which the terrorists may belong. International cooperation must also address the root causes of international terrorism. In fact, the present terrorist challenge has a strong sociocultural component.”

4. “My delegation commends the United States of America for convening this timely Security Council open debate on threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts. Today's debate comes at a time when we face the dehumanizing impact of terrorism, fuelled by violent extremism. The ongoing, and in some regions escalating, use of terror is a reminder that this challenge requires a shared commitment from all nations and people of goodwill. Indeed, terrorism represents a fundamental threat to our common humanity. This institution was founded in the wake of an era in which a similar annihilistic view of human dignity sought to divide and destroy our world. Today, as then, nations must come together in order to fulfil our primary responsibility to protect people threatened by violence and direct assault on their human dignity.”
