  1. “I wish, on behalf of Ghana's delegation, to thank the Presidents and the Chief Prosecutors of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) for their comprehensive briefings to the Council. The ICTY has played a vital role in strengthening the rule of law in the States of the former Yugoslavia by investigating and bringing to trial those accused of war crimes and genocide. We take this opportunity to commend the President, the Chief Prosecutor and their staffs for their dedication to duty, their professionalism and their commitment, which have contributed in no small measure to the Tribunal being regarded as an inspiration and model for other international tribunals. The work both of the Trial Chambers and of the Appeals Chamber is testimony to that fact.”

  2. “Given the ever-evolving nature of terrorism, an intensification of cooperation among the three Committees and their experts would definitely enhance the international community's effort to address that scourge. By extension, cooperation between the three Committees and regional and subregional organizations, as well as international financial institutions and multilateral bodies, should be enhanced if we are to achieve a comprehensive and sustainable solution to that menace.”

  3. “My delegation's wholehearted support for that decision informed Ghana's favourable consideration of the request to host the outreach programme for Africa, which regrettably is the region with an appreciable number of countries that are yet to submit their first reports. Another important element that needs to be strengthened is the Committee's role in the provision of resources and assistance in the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004), especially to most developing countries. The political will and commitment of those countries are undermined by the absence of the requisite national capacity, particularly with respect to the technical sphere. Although bilateral arrangements are generally welcomed, international cooperation is imperative, and the Committee has a critical role to play by acting as a clearing house on that issue.”

  4. “The coming two years will be a critical period for the 1540 Committee as it seeks to achieve universal reportage and to examine, monitor and assist in the implementation of operative paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of resolution 1540 (2004), as was lucidly affirmed in operative paragraph 5 of resolution 1673 (2006). Due to the current position on the submission of first and additional reports by States, we find merit in the intensification and widening of outreach activities to sensitize, encourage and offer States the necessary guidance to implement the provisions of resolution 1540 (2004).”

  5. “We are particularly grateful to the Governments of Sweden, Switzerland and Germany for sponsoring a paper by the Watson Institute for International Studies that has made a thorough study of that delicate legal problem and come up with interesting proposals. My delegation supports the option of a review mechanism distinct from the 1267 Committee as an approach to pre-empting that problem. The unanimous adoption of resolution 1673 (2006) in April 2006, renewing the 1540 Committee's mandate for another two years, is an unambiguous affirmation of the Council's determination to live up to its cardinal responsibility to maintain international peace and security.”

  6. “It is through that interaction between the Al-Qaida/Taliban sanctions Committee and Member States that implementation can be monitored, and practical steps taken, to correct weaknesses in the sanctions regime. We wish to raise the issue of recent court challenges to the listing decisions of the Committee in some countries. That raises a fundamental issue: Is a decision of the Security Council taken under Chapter Sll'V.5446 VII subject to judicial review in a Member State? It appears we have an essentially political process conflicting with the judicial norms of some member countries. That problem will persist until the issue of which system should have primacy is resolved, with the potential to undermine the credibility of the Committee.”

  7. “My delegation wishes to stress that cooperation with international, regional and subregional organizations should be an integral part of the Committee's work. In that regard, we hope that the fifth special meeting of the CTC with international, regional and subregional organizations, which is scheduled for later this year, will focus on how best to utilize regional institutions as a medium to facilitate and strengthen the capacities of States, particularly in developing regions, to meet their obligations under the regime established by resolution 1373 (2001). With regard to the Al-Qaida/Taliban sanctions Committee, my delegation considers country visits by the Chairman and the Monitoring Team as one of the key pillars by which the implementation of the sanctions regime can be evaluated.”

  8. “We wish to reiterate the call made by my delegation in February 2006 for the 1373 Committee, in consultation with the 1267 and 1540 Committees, to work on the consolidation of the three reporting regimes, as recommended in the 2005 World Summit Outcome document (General Assembly resolution 60/1). With regard to technical assistance to States in need, we are appreciative of consultations being undertaken by the Committee with Member States and with potential donors, and hope that the ongoing dialogue will yield fruitful results. The emphasis of that consultation should be on a regional and subregional approach, which appears to be the most cost-effective method to channel assistance to as many countries as possible in a region or subregion.”

  9. “I wish to begin by thanking the Chairpersons of the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC), the 1267 Committee and the 1540 Committee - Ambassadors Ellen Margrethe Loj, Cesar Mayoral and Peter Burian, respectively - for their comprehensive briefings. We note with satisfaction that the Counter- Terrorism Committee has decided to focus its work for the first part of this year on the revision of the reporting regime, how it should enhance dialogue with Member States in need of technical assistance and deepen its relations with international, regional and subregional organizations. In connection with the reporting regimes, we support the introduction by the Committee of the analytical tool, referred to as the preliminary implementation assessment, to monitor the extent of States' implementation of their obligations under resolution 1373 (2001).”
