  1. “My country stands ready to further contribute to international efforts to strengthen peace, stability and cooperation among nations.”

  2. “But let us not forget that the use of force is hardly the only way to defeat and put an end to terrorism and to discourage the dark appeal of foreign fighters. If we are serious about eradicating this phenomenon, we must also think in social and economic terms about what we can offer marginalized groups within these societies. That will give us a greater chance of success in countering incitement to commit terrorist acts not only through the force of the rule of law, but also by doing more to achieve the social inclusion ofthe marginalized through education, solidarity and support. Today's resolution 2178 (2014), of which my country is proud to be a sponsor, underlines the importance of cooperation between all Member States in addressing the threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters.”

  3. “But it has now become clear that it is a challenge that will require our long-term engagement in different ways, whether through military support to Iraq or by stopping the flow of foreign fighters, and all of that without forgetting the social, economic and humanitarian dimensions of the crises in Iraq and Syria. We condemn unequivocally and in the strongest terms every terrorist act committed by terrorist groups and organizations everywhere. No cause can justify terror; no logic can accept the death of innocent people. In that regard, Albania has been at the forefront of international efforts in the Western Balkans to stop the flow of fighters. My country has taken concrete legislative, administrative and security measures, passing specific laws that punish participation in conflicts and wars in other countries.”

  4. “But the threat is also great for the States of origin, as the return of foreign fighters to their countries of origin carries potential risks, particularly where security structures are insufficient, where political stability is fragile, where social cohesion is yet unformed or where there is a complex religious and ethnic fabric, as is the case in the Balkans. The international effort to counter ISIL has been picking up momentum and contributors. Albania is proud to have been one of the first countries to respond to this challenge.”

  5. “ISIL must be defeated and its extremist ideology, which promotes and justifies terrorism, and ruthless methods must be countered. In this context, we highly appreciate President Obama's remarks and the determination of the United States to degrade and, ultimately, defeat ISIL. As ISIL actively tries to recruit citizens everywhere to join its terrorist cause, the phenomenon of foreign fighters is now ofparticular concern. Indeed, foreign fighters pose a serious threat throughout the whole trajectory of their journey, to the transit States and the destination States.”

  6. “Let me thank you, Madam President, for calling this timely meeting on this particularly complex issue. We highly appreciate the leadership the United States has been showing, including in particular during its Security Council presidency, on the issue of countering terrorism and the rise of foreign terrorist fighters. Last Sunday, in his first visit to a European country, Pope Francis chose Albania, a secular country where Muslims and Christians are living and prospering together. As Pope Francis exhorted during his visit: "May no one use religion as a pretext for actions against human dignity and against the fundamental rights of every man and woman". Contrary to these fundamental values, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has clearly shown what it is capable of.”
