  1. “The Kingdom of Morocco and the Netherlands, aware of the dangers and threats posed by terrorism, launched an initiative within the framework of the Global Counterterrorism Forum, through which we were able to hold several meetings in the United Arab Emirates, The Hague and Marrakech. The outcomes were seen yesterday, when we issued the Hague-Marrakech Memorandum on Good Practices for a More Effective Response to the Foreign Terrorist Fighters Phenomenon, particularly in the legal and security areas. Today's resolution 2178 (2014) notes this effort of Morocco and the Netherlands in the framework of the Forum, and encourages us to continue our cooperation, particularly by bringing together experts. In December in Marrakech, we will hold the first meeting of the working group that was established as part of this Forum.”

  2. “We believe that the dismantling of recruitment cells in order to deal with the transfer of fighters to conflict regions is the direct outcome of the efforts of the Moroccan authorities. Last week the Government of Morocco adopted a new bill to ratchet up our national efforts to deal with the threat posed by those fighters, within the framework of an holistic approach that is aimed at strengthening the legal and institutional framework. As part of the implementation of our early and ongoing commitment to supporting international efforts to deal with terrorism, particularly its latest manifestations, we have undertaken major efforts to take part in bilateral, regional and interregional cooperation. This is complementary to the international efforts being made to address this phenomenon.”

  3. “Therefore we need to disseminate principles of tolerance and openness. This is where the Commander of the Believers, His Majesty King Mohammed VI, is working together with his fraternal Arab States and the African States. Morocco is prepared to take part and share its best practices and experiences, developed within the framework of its national, multidimensional strategy to counter terrorism. We have seen tangible results in terms of the effectiveness of cooperation with the States with which we are working. Morocco continues to be a victim of foreign terrorist fighter groups and is continuing to take practical measures to deal with the threat, relying on its comprehensive national counter- terrorism strategy.”

  4. “The international community has become united in order to provide a unified, decisive response to deal with the repercussions of this threat. Awareness of the dangers and risks of this development cannot be limited to a security approach. That is seen very clearly in the Security Council resolutions adopted in August, the meetings in Jeddah and Paris and the resolutions of the League of Arab States dealing with this phenomenon. It is actually a much more complex issue, and managing it requires a strategy that takes into account the varying phases of extremism, polarization, recruitment and the fighting itself, as well as the reintegration of those people. This phenomenon has developed in regions that previously had not experienced it at all. It cannot be attributed to just a specific religion or nationality of any kind.”

  5. “Mr. Benkirane (Morocco) (spoke in Arabic): The phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters is not new. Regions such as Afghanistan and North Africa have been witness to it. It has recently taken a new dimension, particularly in the context of the Syrian and Iraqi crises. This phenomenon, which began as a local, contained threat, has today become a danger for the countries of origin, transit, residence, destination and return. Therefore this high-level meeting ofthe Security Council on threats caused by terrorist acts and foreign terrorist fighters comes at just the right moment in terms of the local, regional and international initiatives aimed at adopting practical measures to deal with the phenomenon in the framework of the United Nations system.”
