1. “I will now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Spain. The unanimous adoption of resolution 1495 (2003) clearly represents an important step towards a just, lasting and mutually acceptable settlement of this controversy. It is of particular importance for the countries in the region and for the Mahgreb in general. Spain has always had a policy of constructive neutrality and of not imposing solutions on the parties. We have spared no effort, as an interested party to the conflict as well as in our capacity as President of the Council, to achieve the greatest possible consensus. We believe that, under current circumstances, the Council could not have limited itself to approving a mere technical extension. The Council had before it the serious and concrete proposal of Mr.”

I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. I give the floor to Prime Minister Diarra to make any further comments or to respond to any of the questions addressed to him by Council members.”

22. “We believe, furthermore, that one of the principal challenges in the current stage is the extension of State authority throughout the country. During our first meeting with the President of the Republic, he indicated to us that he intended to begin sending public officials to the western part of the country in order to restore public services, now that security conditions permit it. We should like to know what progress has been made in that regard, and also how the Government of cote d'Ivoire contemplates extending State authority to the northern part of the country. We also believe it is important that, in the short term, the appointments of Government posts that are still pending be completed, as well as all high posts of the administration of the Government of Transition and National Reconciliation.”

We welcome the progress that has been made in the peace process, and we encourage the country's authorities to work resolutely - as they are doing - to address the challenges facing the consolidation of the peace. In that regard, during the recent Security Council mission to West Africa, we reaffirmed the importance of implementing the Linas-Marcoussis Agreement as the only way to move forward on the path of peace and reconciliation. Today, once again, we urge all the political forces to implement that Agreement and Accra II.”

Upon his departure from New York, Sir Jeremy will take up another delicate task as the United Kingdom's Special Representative in Iraq.

In accordance with the understanding reached among Council members, I wish to remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than five minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously.

However, I wish to highlight a number of points. Within the spirit of the Committee's cooperation with Member States, we have decided to undertake measures to help the 36 States that have fallen behind in submitting their reports so that they comply With their obligations under resolution 1373 (2001). We shall continue to work to promote the broadest possible participation in the 12 international conventions and protocols related to the fight against terrorism. And, as I said earlier, technical assistance and strengthening cooperation between the Committee and international organizations will be priorities for the coming months.”

I should now like to refer briefly to the programme of work planned for April to July of this year. We are pleased to share with members that the great majority of objectives that it set forth were not only met, but sometimes even exceeded. For example, the Directory of contacts and their details have been improved. A first group of 17 international organizations relevant to the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001) has been contacted. In addition, by having completed the review of 385 reports, we have exceeded by 35 the reports objective established in the programme of work.”

I should also like to highlight the contacts that we have maintained With the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the World Customs Organization, Interpol and the International Atomic Energy Agency, in which the danger represented by terrorist groups having access to weapons of mass destruction or to dangerous material of a radioactive, chemical or biological nature were highlighted. In our judgment, the latter threat has not been given the attention it deserves, which is why we intend to remain seized of the matter.”

    2003-07-23 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.4792 (2003) · source

37. “But, at the same time, the Committee must play an increasingly greater role in the promotion and coordination of available international assistance, using its broad experience to orient States and international donor organizations towards the priorities that the Committee is now beginning to be able to identify. It is not a matter of giving priority to one State over another, but rather, of having criteria available that will enable us to deal first with issues that we consider most urgent within each State. The second challenge is that of tightening the links between the Committee and relevant international, regional and subregional organizations. The first step was taken under the British presidency when, on 6 March, the first meeting with more than 60 such organizations was held here.”

38. “We can now rely on two instruments - the Directory of Counter-Terrorism Information and Sources of Assistance and the Matrix of Assistance, which have been shown to be essential tools but have also begun to demonstrate certain limitations. They were adequate when the Committee functioned as a "switchboard", but we should now like to adopt a more proactive role. We believe the Committee should be able to help States that request assistance in the process of implementing the resolution. The Committee must be able to ensure that the needs of those countries are truly met.”

    2003-07-23 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.4792 (2003) · source

39. “At another level, we wish to point out that, in the short term, the CTC faces two important challenges. The first is the paper that it must adopt in the field of technical assistance. One of the Committee's principal advantages is its universality, a result of its inclusion in the United Nations framework. That universality, in our judgment, should be used to help, to the greatest extent possible, those States that demonstrate genuine political will in the fight against terrorism, but at the same time have difficulties in implementing the measures contained in resolution 1373 (2001). To that end, the Committee is taking steps towards a serious strengthening of its work in that field.”

40. “With regard to transparency, the Committee regularly holds informational meetings that are open to all Member States. We also have a web page on which we have been working for several months to improve and update; it will soon be available in a more user-friendly form. Equal treatment is demonstrated by, among other things, the regular contact we maintain with representatives of Member States and of international organizations. Coordination has been demonstrated in the tightening of the links between the Committee and the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999). A joint press communique has been elaborated that compares both Committees to make it easier for the media to follow the respective activities of the Committees.”

41. “By 30 June this year, there were already 37. For example, the International Convention for the Repression of Terrorist Acts Committed with Bombs has seen a 71 per cent increase in its ratification rate, and the 1999 International Convention for the Repression of the Financing of Terrorism has seen a 94 per cent increase. The second figure that I wish to touch upon is that, to date, a total of 385 reports have been received from States in response to letters sent by the Committee related to the measures contained in resolution 1373 (2001). But, beyond statistics, the Committee has done important work in the field of technical assistance. It is interesting to recall that the Committee conducts its work on the basis of three principles: transparency, equal treatment and coordination.”

42. “Now I should like to speak in my capacity as Chairman of the CTC. The Committee is one of the most important tools, with the greatest and most universal influence, on which the international community can rely in its fight against terrorism. The fact that resolution 1373 (2001) was adopted under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, which concerns action in case of threats against peace, gives it a power that is commensurate with the threat that we face. In the more than a year and a half since its inception, the CTC has been involved in an enormous scope of activity. Two figures are enough to demonstrate that: the first is that, in September 2001 - when the resolution was adopted - only two States of the international community were parties to the 12 conventions and protocols related to the fight against terrorism.”

43. “We have learned that the fight against terrorism will be long and that there are no shortcuts that will enable us to attain our goals easily or swiftly. Sometimes we hear voices that demand swift and drastic solutions, but we must not allow ourselves to be deceived by such siren songs. We must continue along the lines of what we agreed on 23 January in resolution 1456 (2003), which stipulates in its annex that States must ensure that the measures they adopt to combat terrorism comply with all their obligations under international law, particularly with norms related to human rights, to refugees and to humanitarian law. We must be extremely careful in that regard. Legitimacy, law and reason are on our side, and we must not adopt any measure that runs the risk of putting us at odds with them.”

44. “Before I outline the main points of the programme of the Counter-Terrorism Committee, I should like to make some general comments in my capacity not as Chairman of the Committee, but as the representative of Spain. Spain's commitment to the fight against terrorism is well known to all Council members. It is a commitment involving not only my Government but also - what is more important - civil society. My country has suffered for more than 30 years from this plague, in which more than a thousand of my compatriots have been murdered. For us, it is essential that the fight against terrorism be one of the priorities in United Nations action. That objective must permeate the Organization's entire mandate.”
