  1. “CTED remains dedicated to supporting the Security Council and the Counter-Terrorism Committee in those endeavours while collaborating with all the relevant stakeholders and players.”

  2. “The Delhi Declaration, adopted by the Committee last October, calls for efforts to develop recommendations and non-binding guiding principles to assist Member States in implementing the relevant Council resolutions on countering terrorism and, specifically, the terrorist use of new and emerging technologies. CTED will provide its fullest support to the Committee in that regard. (spoke in Chinese) Only by working multilaterally and cooperatively will we succeed in mounting an effective response to the evolving global terrorist threat. To develop and implement effective counter-terrorism strategies and measures, it is vital that we apply a forward- looking, holistic and coordinated all-of-United-Nations approach. Our measures must be tailor-made, age- and gender-responsive and human rights-compliant.”

  3. “Finally, based on the Counter-Terrorism Committee’s recommendations, CTED coordinates closely with the Office of Counter-Terrorism and other partners of the United Nations Global Counter- Terrorism Coordination Compact to support capacity- building activities in a range of thematic areas, such as the continued support of the Lake Chad basin countries to strengthen cross-border cooperation and develop comprehensive approaches to screening, prosecution, rehabilitation and reintegration. The Counter-Terrorism Committee and CTED have also ramped up efforts to address the use of new and emerging technologies by terrorists.”

  4. “The Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) continues to implement its mandate, in line with resolution 2617 (2021), to counter the complex threat of Da’esh and its affiliates. Through country assessment visits, as well as the analysis of emerging trends, issues and developments, CTED facilitates Member States’ understanding of the evolving threat and their implementation of the provisions of the relevant Council resolutions.”

  5. “Using improvised, stolen or illegally trafficked weapons, Da’esh has launched lethal attacks against a range of targets. The group’s access to information and communications technologies allows it to diversify its tactics. Its misuse of the Internet and social media platforms for propaganda increases its ability to access audiences and incite violence among followers. There are also other aspects of concern. The speed at which foreign nationals — women, men, children and the elderly — with alleged links to Da’esh in camps and prisons in north-eastern Syria are being repatriated to their countries of origin continues to be protracted. Such conditions provide Da’esh with ongoing opportunities to recruit from camps and prisons and facilitate radicalization to violence and the spread of terrorism.”

  6. “The visit of the Counter- Terrorism Committee to Nigeria in October confirmed that assessment. Thirdly, generating revenue and fundraising have become critical for Da’esh. That is conducted through a wide range of ways, including extortion, looting, smuggling, taxation, soliciting donations and kidnapping for ransom. We have also seen an increased use of social media and gaming platforms as a means to raise money, while unregistered informal cash-transfer networks and mobile money services continue to be the dominant means of moving money. Finally, the group’s access to conventional and improvised weapons, including components of unmanned aircraft systems and information and communications technologies continue to contribute to the terrorist menace.”

  7. “Mr. Chen: The threat that Da’esh and its affiliates pose globally has not diminished. They constitute a complex, evolving and enduring threat in both conflict and non-conflict zones. In the Secretary-General’s report (S/2023/76), the following points are apparent. First, Da’esh continues to exploit local fragilities and intercommunal tensions, particularly in Iraq, the Syrian Arab Republic and parts of the African continent, in particular to boost terrorist recruitment. Secondly, as noted by Under-Secretary-General Voronkov in his remarks just now, Da’esh, years after suffering its losses, has sustained its ability to carry out operations across diverse regions and expand its base of affiliated entities, notably in parts of Central, Southern and Western Africa.”

  8. “It is my hope that the event will serve as a forum to further enhance and strengthen our multilateral and multidimensional counter-terrorism efforts.”

  9. “Enhancedmultilateralism,international cooperation and global solidarity are the only way to counter a global terrorist threat such as Da’esh. A comprehensive, coordinated, whole-of-United Nations approach remains crucial to developing and implementing effective counter-terrorism measures. Those strategies and measures must be tailored, age- and gender-sensitive and human-rights compliant. CTED remains committed to assisting the Council, the Committee and Member States in those efforts while accelerating cooperation and collaboration with stakeholders. In conclusion, I would like to inform the Council of the forthcoming special meeting of the Counter- Terrorism Committee on the use of emerging technologies for counter-terrorism purposes, to be held from 28 to 30 October in New Delhi and Mumbai, India.”

  10. “Those included a report synthesizing our extensive consultations with African civil society organizations on key trends and developments in relation to Da’esh in Africa; a study on the interrelationship between counter-terrorism frameworks and international humanitarian law; a joint report with the International Peace Institute on the relationship between masculinities and violent extremism conducive to terrorism; and, most recently, a study of the links between the exploitation, trade and trafficking of natural resources and terrorism financing. CTED, in close coordination and cooperation with the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism and other key partners, has also worked to support a range of capacity-building activities based on the Counter- Terrorism Committee’s recommendations.”

  11. “The Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) has continued to implement its mandate in accordance with resolution 2617 (2021), while supporting Member States in their implementation of the relevant Council resolutions. Following two years of virtual and hybrid assessment formats due to the coronavirus disease pandemic, CTED was able to resume its on-site assessment visits on behalf of the Counter-Terrorism Committee this year. We have also continued to analyse emerging issues, trends and developments and issued several analytical and research products in that regard.”

  12. “The exploitation of conflict-related fragilities remains at the heart of that strategy, notably in Iraq, the Syrian Arab Republic and across the African continent. The situation in Africa, notably in West and Central Africa and in Mozambique, has become more concerning. Terrorism does not exist in a vacuum. We face a range of overlapping global challenges that risk complicating our counter-terrorism responses and exacerbating the threat posed by Da’esh and other terrorist groups. As referenced by the Secretary-General in his report (S/2022/576), the connected global food crisis could act as a further catalyst for the spread of terrorism and violent extremism conducive to terrorism.”

  13. “Allow me to begin by thanking the Security Council for the opportunity to brief its members on the fifteenth report of the Secretary-General on the threat posed by Da’esh and the efforts of the United Nations to assist Member States in countering the threat (S/2022/576). I would also like to thank Under-Secretary-General Voronkov for his overview of the report, as well as both the Office of Counter-Terrorism and the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team for their invaluable collaboration in preparing the report. The threat posed by Da’esh and its affiliates remains both global and evolving. Despite its recent leadership losses, Da’esh continues to take advantage of conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism to recruit as well as to organize and execute complex attacks.”

  14. “In that regard, CTED will continue to actively support the Security Council and the Counter- Terrorism Committee in those efforts.”

  15. “Acting under the all-of-United Nations approach and in accordance with resolutions 2395 (2017) and 2617 (2021), CTED has continued to work closely together with UNOCT on a series of activities aimed at enhancing the capacities of Member States on, inter alia, countering terrorist travel; the creation of fusion cells; countering the trafficking of small arms and light weapons; the protection of vulnerable targets; countering the financing of terrorism; and prosecution, rehabilitation and reintegration. Combating the global terrorist threat requires a multilateral approach that involves close collaboration among Member States, United Nations entities, international and regional organizations, and civil society. The strategies and measures employed should also be tailor-made, gender-sensitive and human rights- compliant.”

  16. “Against the backdrop of those many challenges, CTED continues to coordinate closely with UNOCT and other key partners to ensure that the Counter- Terrorism Committee’s recommendations serve as the basis for relevant capacity-building activities. I would also note that CTED recently issued its updated global survey of Member States’ implementation of resolution 1373 (2001) and other resolutions, as well as its updated global survey of the implementation of resolution 1624 (2005), and a number of other reports and studies on the challenges faced by Member States.”

  17. “The challenges that have arisen during the pandemic have curtailed not only counter-terrorism operations but also civil society and humanitarian outreach, thereby worsening pre-existing conditions of displacement and insecurity. The lack of measures and strategies to ensure safe and voluntary repatriation, as well as comprehensive and tailored prosecution, rehabilitation and reintegration, may also expose already vulnerable populations to further violence. Monitoring and suppressing the flow of funds to Da’esh and other terrorist groups also remains an imperative for the international community. Terrorists and terrorist groups also continue to exploit social media and online platforms. The global rise in hate speech and misinformation and disinformation, often online, also remains a concern for many Member States.”

  18. “In some States, increasing political instability has led to critical governance situations, which may exacerbate a significant existing terrorist threat. Many States have understandably diverted resources from counter- terrorism training and capacity-building to pandemic- related efforts, thereby creating challenges for States requiring counter-terrorism assistance. The pandemic has also influenced existing trends in terrorism and violent extremism conducive to terrorism, and has also generated human rights concerns, which may provide fertile ground for further exploitation and potential radicalization to violence.”

  19. “Da’esh has become more decentralized — with supporters notably emerging and expanding their operations in the battlefields of West, East, Southern and Central Africa — and is also seeking to exploit recent developments in Afghanistan. It has also continued to regroup in its traditional geographic centre, resulting in a resurgence of violence in Iraq and the Syrian Arab Republic. Developments following the recent death of the Da’esh leader should be closely monitored. Over the past two years, the terrorist threat has of course also intersected with the many challenges posed by the coronavirus disease pandemic. Da’esh and other terrorist groups have sought to exploit fault lines arising from social restrictions, political tensions and economic downturns exacerbated by the pandemic.”

  20. “Just last November, the Counter-Terrorism Committee held a special meeting to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the 11 September attacks and the subsequent adoption of resolution 1373 (2001) and the establishment of the Committee. On that occasion, the Committee issued an important outcome document, which not only highlighted notable successes achieved in countering terrorism and violent extremism conducive to terrorism but also stressed the need to strengthen national, regional and international efforts to address and mitigate the emerging challenges. The global terrorist landscape continues to present a range of complex challenges for Member States. The threat of Da’esh persists, as the group and its affiliates continue to recalibrate their strategic and operational approaches.”

  21. “Mr. Chen: I thank you, Mr. President, for giving the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) the opportunity to brief the Security Council on the fourteenth report of the Secretary-General on the threat posed by Da’esh (S/2022/63) and the efforts of the United Nations to assist Member States to counter the threat. I would also like to thank Under-Secretary- General Voronkov for his overview of the report, which we just heard. And I thank the Office of Counter- Terrorism (UNOCT) and the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team for their invaluable collaboration in preparing the report.”

  22. “The question of Sarajevo and other safe areas as well as that of Maglaj can be genuinely resolved only within the framework of a comprehensive political settlement. Fifthly, we have noted that the Secretary-General mentioned in his report the difficulties faced by UNPROFOR with regard to manpower and _ financial resources. These difficulties need to be removed. At the same time, we are of the view that the deployment of UNPROFOR troops should be undertaken in a flexible manner, according to the degree of urgency of each specific situation. Consideration should be given both to the feasibility of new mandates and UNPROFOR's ability to accomplish the missions.”

  23. “As is repeatedly stated by the Secretary-General's Special Representative for the former Yugoslavia, air support should be used only to ensure the safety of UNPROFOR personnel in the performance of its mandate and for self-defence, rather than for punitive purposes with the use of excessive force. In the concrete application of such air support, the utmost care should be taken to avoid inflicting harm on innocent people. Fourthly, in the final analysis, the settlement of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia can be achieved only by the people of that region themselves. UNPROFOR can only play a supplementary role. The urgent task of the international community is to make every possible effort to urge the parties concerned to seek, through negotiations, an appropriate solution acceptable to all.”

  24. “The sovereignty and territorial integrity of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as other countries concerned in the region, should be fully respected. Secondly, it is our consistent position that conflicts should be settled by peaceful means through dialogue and negotiation. We are in favour of neither the use or the threat of force, nor the invocation of Chapter VII in the peace-keeping operations of UNPROFOR. We therefore have reservations on the invocation of Chapter VII in this resolution. At the same time, we have noted that the resolution has specified certain limitations concerning this issue. Thirdly, with regard to the question of extending close air support to the territory of the Republic of Croatia, the Security Council should act prudently.”

  25. “The approval by the Security Council of a further enlargement of UNPROFOR and an extension of its mandate indicate the hope of the international community that the presence of UNPROFOR will create favourable 10 conditions for an early and comprehensive political settlement by the various parties. In this connection, we agree with the recommendations of the Secretary-General to extend the mandate of UNPROFOR and have voted in favour of the resolution just adopted. The Chinese delegation would like to reiterate here its position on this question. First, the parties to the conflict should earnestly implement the agreements already reached and resolve their disputes through negotiations at an early date so as to achieve peace.”

  26. “Mr. Chen (China) (interpretation from Chinese): At present, the peace process in the areas where UNPROFOR is located is at a crucial juncture. As a result of the efforts of all sides, the agreements concerning a cease-fire and the withdrawal of heavy weapons between the Bosnian Serbs and Muslims and between the Croats and the Muslims have all been implemented. Not long ago, the Croats and the Muslims signed a federation agreement. Two days ago, the Republic of Croatia and the local Serb authorities in the United Nations Protected Areas signed a _ cease-fire agreement. This series of developments is indeed to be welcomed.”
