1. “North Korea's persistent defiance of the non-proliferation regime, in Violation of multiple Security Council resolutions, represents a threat to regional stability as well as to international peace and security. We encourage the international community to stand together in order to defend our collective security. Maintaining a high level ofeconomic and diplomatic pressure on the regime constitutes the appropriate response to the reckless behaviour of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. We will continue to work on this matter as a member of the Security Council for the remainder of the year, as well as within the European Union. In that context, allow me also to reiterate the primary importance that Italy attaches to the continued unity of the Security Council on this matter.”

2. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Italy. First of all, I would like to thank Under-Secretary- General Jeffrey Feltman for his briefing. Once again, the Security Council is confronted with an irresponsible and legal provocation by the regime of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. As stated today by Prime Minister Gentiloni Silveri and Foreign Minister Alfano, Italy firmly condemns Pyongyang's launch of another ballistic missile, with intercontinental range, which constitutes a grave threat of a truly global nature, as well as an immediate danger to neighbouring countries, to which we express our full solidarity.”

17. “Italy already provides advanced training to foreign officers dealing with counter-terrorism and is also committed to providing judicial and law enforcement international cooperation, in the framework of transnational investigations. We welcome the proposal of the United States for a new draft resolution. In it, the Security Council should address the threat posed by returnees and relocators by considering the international best practices and provide comprehensive strategies and guidelines to help Member States understand how to reintegrate returnees, especially women and children.”

18. “The international community is still looking for an effective way to properly address the challenge. Our commitment to counter-terrorism must also be extended far and wide, including in the Sahel, where instability contributes to the spread of violence and terrorism. The lack of adequate information-sharing mechanisms further hinders countries' efforts to assess and mitigate the threat. In this regard, it remains crucial for Member States to enhance their cooperation within and between public sector agencies, both domestically and internationally, and to empower financial intelligence units, law enforcement and intelligence services to improve the exchange of relevant information in a timely manner. Effective border police measures and enhancing capacity-building on terrorist financing investigations are particularly key in this regard.”

19. “The sustained military pressure levied upon Da'esh, as well as the deterioration of its financial conditions, have not deprived the group of its capability to send funds to its supporters outside the conflict zone and to enable external attacks. ISIL has been continuing to adapt to military pressure by changing its organization from one that is State like to a network, reframing narratives and making investments even in legitimate businesses. The heinous attack perpetrated last Friday in a Sufi mosque near Egypt's Sinai coast clearly demonstrates the persistently very high level of the terrorist threat. While the flow of foreign terrorist fighters travelling to the conflict zones has nearly stopped, Member States continue to be confronted with the threat posed by returnees and relocators.”

20. “In that context, the Council required Member States to ensure that their legal systems provided for the prosecution, as serious a crime, of travel for terrorism or related training, as well as of the financing or facilitation of such activities.Subsequently, in 2015, Italy amended its penal code to criminalize the conduct of any individual organizing, financing or promoting transnational travels aimed at committing terrorist acts. Since its adoption, resolution 2178 (2014) has been considered a comprehensive and central tool aimed at enhancing Member States' operational and legal measures to stem the flow of foreign terrorist fighters and implement capacity-building programmes. Nonetheless, the global threat posed by terrorism continues to evolve and diversify, as we have heard in the briefings.”

24. “Ultimately, the solution to the problem is a political one, as we have been reminded in the case ofthe Libyan crisis. Such a solution would accompany the country on its path towards stabilization and national reconciliation through an inclusive dialogue. Italy reaffirms its full support to United Nations mediation in that respect, as reiterated by Prime Minister Gentiloni Silveri in his meeting with Special Representative Salame' two days ago in Tunis. In conclusion, Italy would like to support the proposal of the United Kingdom for a formal product, which would lend important added value to advance the engagtement of the Security Council on the issue. The proposal would also be a further follow-up to the initiative launched by the Italian presidency during this month.”

We also express support to countries in the region affected by the smuggling of migrants, and emphasize Italy's initiative to strengthen an effective multidimensional response with States of origin, transit and destination Instability in the Sahel - as other have reminded the Council - is also being exploited by human traffickers. We need to address those common challenges in a spirit of international solidarity and shared responsibility in order to tackle their root causes and to prevent vulnerable people from being exploited by migrant smugglers and human traffickers.”

26. “That is the approach that Italy has taken since the beginning of this crisis by combining solidarity and security. Italy is mindful that a sustainable solution to these issues lies in strengthening Libyan State institutions and local municipalities, and we are implementing several concrete initiatives to that end. We recall the importance of assisting Libya, as indicated by several Security Council resolutions, under the coordination of the presidency of the Council, in building needed capacity, including to secure its borders, and to prevent, investigate and prosecute acts of smuggling ofmigrants and human trafficking. That challenge is transnational in nature, and therefore Libya cannot be left alone in dealing with it.”

27. “Over the past years, Italy rescued and welcomed over half a million migrants and refugees who tried to reach Europe across the Mediterranean. At the same time, we spare no effort in raising awareness on the issue, initially at the European Union and subsequently at the global level. As mentioned in this Chamber by Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano in the meeting on Libya, the recent decrease in migration flows across the Mediterranean is encouraging because it results in reducing the number of people undertaking a dangerous journey - one that has cost so many innocent lives over recent years. But better management of migration flows must not take place at the expense of human rights. Migrants should be treated with humanity and dignity, and their rights should be fully respected.”

28. “Italy therefore welcomes the statement by the Government of National Accord of Libya condemning those inhumane practices and announcing the launching an investigation into that abhorrent episode to bring the perpetrators to justice. We also welcome the remarks made before of the Council last week (see S/PV.8111) by the African Union Commissioner for Peace and Security, Mr. Smai'l Chergui, on the initiative taken by the African Union to address the plight of African migrants in Libya. We also recall the words of Prosecutor Bensouda of the International Criminal Court at the Council (see S/PV. 8091) under the Italian presidencyjust three weeks ago. We must not forget that the issue oflarge numbers of people being trafficked through Libya dates back long before a spotlight was recently shined on that matter by the international media.”

29. “It calls for a renewed collective and coordinated effort, and provides a legal basis for a strengthened victim- centre dand a gender- and child-sensitive approach in addressing the needs of the victim, especially highlighting that human trafficking entails - as shown by the situation in Libya - widespread and grave abuses of human rights, including heinous forms of exploitation and slavery. The recent reports indicating that migrants in Libya are being sold as slaves are sickening. Slavery must have no place in today's world. Such actions are among the most outrageous abuses of human rights and may amount to crimes against humanity. We condemn them in the strongest terms.”

The resolution underscores, inter alia, that the challenges posed by trafficking in persons and the smuggling of migrants in the Sahel region and in Libya are further exacerbating instability and conflict.”

One week ago, we organized an open debate (see S.PV.8111) on trafficking in persons in conflict situations. Our Foreign Minister, Angelino Alfano, presided over the briefing on security challenges in the Mediterranean (see S/PV.8106) on 17 November. A meeting (see S/PV.8104) dedicated to the political situation in Libya was held the day before.”

32. “That is why we welcome the important progress achieved both by UNHCR and IOM. on that crucial matter. Italy is pleased that Italian efforts, including through the engagement of the Italian Embassy in Tripoli, were able to facilitate UNHCR activities in Libya on behalf of migrants and vulnerable categories in need of international protection, as well as to define the terms of its presence and engagement in the country. To that end, we facilitated meetings at the Italian Embassy in Tripoli with local authorities and UNHCR. The procedures for the resettlement of migrants and vulnerable categories of persons can therefore now be accelerated in cooperation with the office dedicated for that purpose in Tripoli being run by the local authorities, which aims to provide the highest standards of humanitarian assistance and respect for human rights.”
