“It is important to note that since then, in order to improve the living conditions of the Haitian people - particularly those in rural areas - and also to build the country's resilience to frequent natural disasters and lay the groundwork for sustainable development, the new authorities have been actively implementing reforms in all areas, including socioeconomic development, through the launch of the flagship Caravan of Change programme, which has intensified and expanded to several of the country's regions. We believe that upon review, MINUSTAH can be proud of the work it has accomplished, despite the difficulties posed by cases of sexual exploitation and abuse and the outbreak of the cholera epidemic.”

“Clearly this new chapter in the United Nations presence in Haiti, which is about to begin, is a great illustration of the significant progress achieved by the Government and the people of Haiti with the support of the international community and, above all, the United Nations, which made possible the election of President Jovenel Moise, the return to constitutional order, the improved security situation and the resumption of a normal political life, which we nevertheless hope will further be improved through an enhanced political dialogue, which is necessary for the strengthening of democratic institutions.”

“Mr. Ciss (Senegal) (spoke in French): I would like to join others in thanking Special Representative of the Secretary-General Sandra Honore for her comprehensive briefing and in welcoming the presence of His Excellency the Ambassador of the Republic of Haiti. In a few days, on 15 October, we will mark the official closing of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and the opening of the new United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH), pursuant to resolution 2350 (2017), of 13 April 2017.”

“Moreover, the promotion of dialogue and conflict prevention, the involvement of populations through the mobilization of young people, the empowerment of women, education, capacity-building, the use of religious leaders to deconstruct rhetoric and the ideology of terrorist groups, and the facilitation of access to employment are all essential components for the prevention of violent extremism and can prevent the radicalization of young people and their recruitment by extremist organizations. In conclusion, I solemnly reiterate my country's support for the Counter-Terrorism Committee, its Executive Directorate and the Office of Counter- Terrorism, while advocating for the strengthening of their human and financial resources.”

“My country also actively cooperates in the fields of international counter-terrorism criminal justice; surveillance of land, maritime and airport borders; and mutual legal assistance in combating money-laundering and terrorist financing. In addition, two laws were passed in 2007 that apply harsher penalties to terrorist perpetrators, while a draft national strategy against terrorism and violent extremism is under development.”

“Similarly, national, subregional and regional specificities and constraints must be taken into account in the context of building the capacities of States to fulfil their obligations under Security Council resolutions. In that context, it is important for Member States, while maintaining their sovereignty, to adopt national strategies and action plans that are based on local realities and better adapted to socioeconomic and security contexts. In its efforts to implement measures to eliminate international terrorism and violent extremism, Senegal has adopted an approach that is based on prevention, cooperation and rapid response.”

“Indeed, given the evolving and multifaceted nature of terrorism, the ongoing increase in the number of resolutions adopted by the Security Council considerably broadens the scope of intervention of the Counter-Terrorism Committee and its Executive Directorate, whereas human and financial resources do not always keep up with such developments, which could ultimately affect the effectiveness of that body. By way of illustration, the country visits of the Executive Directorate to assess the progress of, challenges to and technical assistance required by Member States could be better monitored and evaluated on a regular basis, in consultation with the countries concerned.”

“To prevent terrorists from pursuing their criminal actions, States must now energetically implement the relevant provisions of resolutions 1373 (2001), 1624 (2005), 2133 (2014), 2178 (2014), 2195 (2014) and 2253 (2015) by strengthening their cooperation in the field of intelligence-sharing and better collaborating with private providers to improve regulatory systems. I pay tribute here to the outstanding work accomplished by the Counter-Terrorism Committee and its Executive Directorate in monitoring Member States' implementation of the aforementioned resolutions.”

“That is why the Senegalese delegation welcomed the establishment of the new Office of Counter-Terrorism and the position of Under- Secretary-General at its head, pursuant to General Assembly resolution 71/291 of 15 June 2017. We encourage the Office to strive for better coordination among the various bodies, programmes and agencies involved in counter-terrorism. Terrorist movements increasingly use the Internet and social media in their vile business of inciting violence, recruiting foreign terrorist fighters, and funding and planning terrorists acts. Those movements take advantage of the flaws in financial systems and national and international legal frameworks to raise funds, including by trafficking in and selling oil, kidnapping for ransoms, trafficking in persons, arms, drugs and cultural goods, and other forms of extortion.”

“David Scharia of the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate. The quality of their briefings on the multifaceted action of the United Nations in its fight against terrorism helped to enrich our discussions. When the Council adopted resolution 1373 (2001), establishing the Counter-Terrorism Committee, we could not have imagined that, 16 years later, international terrorism would have reached its current appalling proportions. Rather than giving in to discouragement at its apparent failure in finding adequate responses, in the light of the scourge the international community must adopt a coercive, inclusive and united long-term approach. To that end, the revision and streamlining of the legal and institutional framework for the fight against terrorism are imperative.”

“Mr. Ciss (Senegal) (spoke in French): Today's debate, which follows logically on from yesterday's debate on civil aviation security, once again illustrates the special importance that the Security Council attaches to the fight against the scourge of terrorism. Indeed, the multiplication and sophistication of terrorist attacks throughout the world continually remind us of the severity of that pernicious threat to international peace and security. I therefore thank the Ethiopian presidency and the Russian delegation for facilitating this particularly timely meeting. My thanks and welcome also go to Under-Secretary- General Vladimir Voronkov, head of the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism; Ambassador Amr Aboulatta, Chair of the Counter-Terrorism Committee; and Mr.”

“It is therefore meaningless to speak of general and complete disarmament when, in addition to the nuclear-weapon States that already exist, there are others that are circumventing the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons so as to acquire such weapons. Our work on nuclear non-proliferation must therefore must go hand in hand with the effective implementation of disarmament, according to a verifiable and irreversible timetable. To that end, our initiatives should focus on the multilateral framework that the United Nations system offers.”

“In an interdependent world, where our interests are linked together, strengthening cooperation in the areas of border controls, the monitoring of financial flows and Internet activity and legal assistance is more necessary than ever if we are to develop an aggressive preventive strategy designed to ensure that weapons of mass destruction do not fall into the wrong hands. Of necessity, that involves not just sharing experience but working to synergize the efforts of all the stakeholders concerned. Nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation are interrelated and dialectically linked goals.”

“Senegal remains convinced that working for the universalization of the NPT and the implementation of its relevant provisions, as well as acting in a resolute manner to secure the entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, constitute decisive steps on the path towards general and complete disarmament. Furthermore, it is now more necessary than ever to draw up a detailed inventory of all sources of weapons of mass destruction throughout the world so as to ensure that they are systematically placed under safeguards or destroyed. Significant measures have already been taken to this end, but a great deal remains to be done.”

“Right now, the challenge to be met by all of us - States, international organizations and the business world - remains that of implementing the current sanctions measures, because failure to do so provides the North Korean authorities with sizable loopholes that they are systematically using to mobilize the resources necessary to pursue their illegal and dangerous programme. We must work to strengthen the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) by making it universal and by promoting respect for previously reached commitments.”

“The targeted measures rightly adopted in the previous resolution of the Council against North Korea must, in order to meet the challenge posed by the North Korean ballistic and nuclear programme, be part of a comprehensive political strategy that would prompt the parties to engage, with the assistance ofthe international community, in a frank dialogue whose ultimate objective would be respect by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea of its international obligations and the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. That is why my country, in reiterating our commitment to a peaceful and diplomatic settlement of the Korean crisis, calls once again for a resumption of a direct dialogue between the parties so as to create conditions conducive to peaceful coexistence between the countries and the peoples of the region.”

“In the light of all these factors, my country condemned as firmly as is possible the launch, for the second time in less than a month, of a North Korean ballistic missile, which flew over the Japanese island of Hokkaido before crashing into the Pacific. The launch took place less than a week after the adoption by the Council of resolution 2375 (2017), which condemned North Korea's sixth nuclear test, on 3 September.”

“Meanwhile, on the Korean peninsula, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is methodically pursuing its military nuclear programme in deliberate violation of the relevant Security Council resolutions, with the objective of developing nuclear weapons and their means of delivery, which seriously undermines the non-proliferation regime and exacerbates tension in the region and beyond. All of this clearly reflects the need to rigorously implement the commitments contained in the various relevant resolutions. Indeed, in the absence of genuine political will to put a term to it, the risk of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction will continue to grow.”

“Indeed, the rapid progress of science and technology, as well as globalization, facilitated by ongoing developments in the world of business, all are new factors that non-State actors could use to help them acquire weapons of mass destruction. This is demonstrated on the one hand by the use of chemical weapons in the Middle East and in Asia and, on the other, by issues related to cybersecurity, whose consequences could be even more serious if they were to be attacks aimed at critical infrastructure such as nuclear power plants.”

“Mr. Ciss (Senegal) (spoke in French): Allow me to begin, Mr. President, by conveying to you the sincere apologies of his Excellency Mr. Sidiki Kaba, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Senegal, who, because of a last- minute scheduling conflict, was not able to participate, as he had planned to do. Our delegation would like to thank the United States of America for having requested this meeting and the Ethiopian presidency for having facilitated its convening. We also thank Ms. Izumi Nakamitsu, whose very important statement has shed light on our work. Our debate today is a topical one, given recent events, which constantly remind us of the pressing nature of the terrorist threat and the growing risk of seeing non-State actors acquire nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.”

“Though this resolution, we are also showing our active solidarity with the people and the Government of Iraq, to which we wish to reiterate our sincere congratulations for the decisive victories they have achieved in the fight against ISIL. We have no doubt that with the ongoing support of the international community, including the United Nations, through its United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq, the Iraqi authorities will continue their efforts aimed at reconciliation so as to eradicate in a lasting way ISIL's ideology. By way of conclusion, I would like to convey my gratitude to the delegation of the United Kingdom for its ongoing efforts during the whole process of negotiations, which, of course, enabled us to achieve this outcome, which is a harbinger of great hope for the many victims who deserve thatjustice be done.”

“With the setting up of the investigative team led by a Special Adviser, in implementation of the mandate that has just been adopted, the United Nations will be able to lend the necessary assistance to the Iraqi authorities to gather evidence on the basis of the highest standards in the field on acts that may amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes of genocide committed by ISIL. This will help shed light on the truth and facilitate the necessary process of bringing the perpetrators to justice. It also opens the door to interesting prospects in terms of cooperation with Member States in the field of international criminal justice concerning acts carried out by Da'esh.”

We also welcome the presence of His Excellency Mr. Ibrahim Abdulkarim Al-Jafari, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Iraq, among us this morning. Senegal was a sponsor of resolution 2379 (2017), which the Security Council has just adopted unanimously in order to reaffirm the position that all of us here share as a community of nations regarding the reprehensible nature of terrorism and violent extremism, in particular the actions of and violations of human rights and international humanitarian law committed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), known as Da'esh, an organization that now more than ever appears to pose a global threat.”

I pledge the full support of Senegal in that endeavour - one of the most important for the continent.”

“We must also promote private investment so as to reduce the heightened dependence of the region's population on agriculture, livestock rearing and fishing. Secondly, there is also a need for particular attention to addressing environmental challenges, for example, the drying up of Lake Chad, which, as we all know, has a very negative effect on agriculture in the region. Thirdly, it is important to bear in mind the need to empower women both in the economic and political fields, with a View to reducing their vulnterability and augmenting their contribution to development. Lastly, reducing the high level of dependence of the affected countries on oil and other mineral resources remains a priority. This step is necessary to avoid adverse budgetary consequences as a result of the drop in oil prices.”

“That is why my delegation welcomes the meeting of the Oslo contact group - made up of Germany, Nigeria, Norway, Cameroon and Chad - scheduled for 6 September on the issues of prevention and stabilizing the region, which aims to identify ways to tackle the deep-rooted causes of the crisis. In that regard, in order to make it possible for the countries concerned to effectively take the steps needed on the security and humanitarian fronts in order to meet the most difficult challenge - stabilizing the region and ensuring development - Senegal believes that the following important areas merit particular attention. First, there is a need to foster private investment, which is essential to creatingjobs, especially for young people, who remain the primary target of terrorist recruiters.”

“Similarly, regional and subregional cooperation remains crucial to securing borders in order to effectively combat trans-national organized crime, such as arms-smuggling and human trafficking, which, we must remember, are at heart of the crisis. There is also a need to step-up international support to meet the needs set out in the humanitarian appeal launched by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs which calls for the mobilization of $1.5 billion - of which, unfortunately, to date has been funded only the level of 30.9 per cent. We should not make any mistake about it: development must be part of the solution, especially since poverty is most rife in the areas severely impacted by Boko Haram in the four countries concerned.”

“While those attacks clearly bear witness to the ability of Boko Haram to continue its terrorist activities, the fact that the group is now increasingly resorting to asymmetrical tactics is undeniable proof that it is now in an unfavourable position. Nevertheless, we continue to deplore the lack of logistical resources available to the countries in the region in their fight against those asymmetric threats. All of that clearly shows the pressing need to bolster the capabilities of the States of the region in terms of early warning and rapid response sytems when faced with suicide attacks. That requires the involvement of the population to develop a community police force.”

“However, as important as it is, all of that progress should not mask the difficult situation experienced by millions of women and children in the Lake Chad Basin region - as seen in the growing number of terrorist attacks in the past few months. Once again, on behalf of my country, I condemn those attacks in the firmest possible terms. According to the Secretary-General's report, 245 attacks were carried out, most of those by female suicide bombers, during the months of June, July and August - in the north-east of Nigeria, in the north of Cameroon and in the Chad border regions, resulting in 225 casualties.”

“It will be the first meeting ofa set ofthree aimed at determining a regional strategy to stabilize affected regions. 1 am sure that such international mobilization has contributed to the retaking of territory by the Joint Multinational Task Force, and I pay tribute to the courage and devotion of its contingents. The retaking of areas formerly controlled by Boko Haram has led to an improvement in the security situation in those areas, the freeing of hostages and, of course, the surrender or arrest of many of the group's combatants. On the humanitarian level, we should note the growing access of the civilian population to health care, sanitation and food.”

Following the visit, international mobilization in support of the region has considerably increased with the successive visits by representatives of the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel, Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed, the Peace and Security Council of the African Union and by staff of the United Nations Regional Office for Central Africa. Along the same lines, a regional conference will be held in N'Djamena from 3 to 5 October on the issue of stabilizing the region.”

My delegation would also like to thank Under-Secretary-General Jeffrey Feltman for providing clarity in his presentation on the Secretary-General's report (S/2017/764), which informs us of progress made and challenges yet to be met.

In conclusion, my delegation reiterates its congratulations to, and its full support for, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of UNMIK. We would also like to commend the constructive work of the Kosovo Force, the European Union Rule ofLaw Mission in Kosovo, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and, of course, the European Union itself, as they are all committed stakeholders constructively involved in promoting peace and progress in Kosovo.”

Furthermore, we welcome the activities of UNMIK in the area of capacity-building with regard to young people, promoting reconciliation, transitional justice, human rights and providing support for the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina. In addition to encouraging dialogue, Senegal urges all stakeholders to take further steps towards peace and development, in particular by focusing on the full implementation of agreements that have already been reached.”

In that regard, I wish to address the question of missing persons, which must be an urgent priority and which demands of the leaders of both parties to demonstrate political will so as to give answers to the families who have been waiting for a very long time.

We also hope that the current difficulties concerning the formation of a new governing majority will be dealt with swiftly. The limited progress with regard to the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade facilitated by the European Union is a source of concern for my delegation.

“I cannot end my remarks without raising the issue of natural resources, which are increasingly being addressed by sanctions regimes, particularly in the context of African countries. The challenge for sanctions regimes in the area of natural resources is to thwart the exploitation of natural resources by the entities or individuals targeted so as to prevent them from benefiting from such resources without impinging on legal activities and the rights that the countries and regions concerned have over their own natural resources. Once again, it is through the strengthening of dialogue and cooperation between the Security Council and its sanctions committees, on the one hand, and the countries and regions concerned, on the other, that sanctions on natural resources can become more effective and legitimate.”

“It is therefore important to pay particular attention to those developing countries that fully understand that in an international environment where emerging threats are transnational challenges, those countries cannot be the weak links in the collective security system. It should be noted, for example, that the same national systems for combating illegal financial transactions or the financing of terrorism can also detect assets from individuals or entities subject to sanctions and can allow countries to act accordingly. In most developing countries, therefore, such technical assistance is necessary in order to ensure an adequate flow of information, harmonize actions between the competent services of the State and integrate aspects relating to sanctions into the domestic judicial systems of States.”

“Indeed, in most of the regimes in effect, cooperation between the sanctions committees and the countries in the region has proved to be an essential element of the effectiveness of the measures adopted. Finally, we believe that in a context characterized by the growth of the Internet and digital technologies, coupled with the growing complexity of the financial environment - a context in which the free movement of people and goods is developing - capacity-building is a crucial dimension of international cooperation. The level of the capacities of the countries and institutions involved in the implementation of sanctions is decisive, if one bears in mind that most sanctions regimes relate to developing countries.”

“The challenge is, first and foremost, to address the challenge of consistency with other United Nations responses and actions, as advocated by the aforementioned High-level Review, which indicates that the integration of sanctions in other United Nations interventions is essential for identifying synergies, preventing incompatible actions and enhancing the overall effectiveness of the collective security system. Given the increasing importance of the regional dimension in the system of collective peace and security, we believe that the second challenge is to place greater emphasis on the synergy of the efforts of regional, sub-regional and international actors with the policies and actions of the United Nations.”

“The issue of the effectiveness of sanctions can be approached from various angles - notably angles related to their legitimacy and their timeliness, the political will of the actors in charge of their application and their adaptation to specific situations and to the various methods of the Council or its various sanctions committees used to monitor the development and implementation of the regimes established. However, my delegation would like to highlight some aspects that we consider to be essential for the effectiveness and efficiency of sanctions regimes.”
2017-08-03 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8018 (2017) · source
“Experience has shown, however, that their effectiveness and positive contribution to the improvement of given situations depend to a large extent on the transparency and clarity of their purpose and the objectives that the sanctions hope to achieve, as well as on the adherence of the different parties. Additionally, the effectiveness of sanctions depends especially on the consistency of the sanctions concerned with other measures or actions carried out by the United Nations with their partners, in particular regional and national partners, in response to the given problem or situation.”

“It is in that spirit that the 2005 World Summit Outcome recalls that we must "ensure that sanctions are implemented in ways that balance effectiveness to achieve the desired results against the possible adverse consequences, including socioeconomic and humanitarian consequences, for populations and third States." (General Assembly resolution 60/1, para.106) It is now recognized that United Nations sanctions have evolved significantly over the years. They tend to be more clever, more intelligent and more adapted to the situations to which they apply.”

“As highlighted by the High-level Review of United Nations Sanctions and the subsequent Compendium issued in June 2015 (S/2015/432), sanctions form an important tool for maintaining collective security and, as such, have been used with increasing regularity in order to deal with various increasingly complex threats to international peace and security, such as terrorism, the proliferation of nuclear weapons, violations of human rights and the illegal exploitation of natural resources. It is, therefore, understandable that the design, implementation and scope of such measures should be the subject of a common understanding, mutual reinforcement and equal commitment by all the parties concerned, in particular all of the entities of the United Nations system.”

The interest of the subject that brings us together today, namely, sanctions as measures decided on by the Security Council that do not involve the use of force, is that it highlights a central element of our collective action aimed at achieving our common goal ofpeace and security for all, as set out in the Charter of the United Nations, namely, the maintenance of international peace and security.”
