“We in the Pacific are committed to shouldering our responsibilities. As the Security Council takes our joint endeavour forward, in particular through the work of the Counter-Terrorism Committee, it can be assured of our fullest support.”

“Our law enforcement, customs and immigration agencies are looking at ways to strengthen cooperation and intelligence-sharing. Pacific Islands Forum members are examining model legislation on extradition, mutual assistance in criminal matters, the forfeiture of the proceeds of crime, the 1988 United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, and other measures to counter money-laundering. We are working more closely than ever with international organizations to fight terrorism and transnational crime. No region is immune from the threat of terrorism, and no region can neglect its responsibility to contribute to the global fight against terrorism. Our efforts in the Pacific, at the national, regional and international levels, are part of the overall response to our common threat.”

“We welcome the Counter-Terrorism Committee's forward-looking programme of work and priorities, which reflects awareness that the fight against terrorism will be long and that it will require the persistence and cooperation of all Member States. The steps that individual Pacific Islands Forum countries are taking to meet their obligations under resolution 1373 (2001) are set out in their reports to the Committee on Counter-Terrorism. In addition, however, the secretariat of the Forum has submitted a report to the Committee, highlighting regional aspects of our response to terrorism. Among other steps, we are seeking to strengthen the way in which we deal with money-laundering and seek to suppress the financing of terrorism. We are working to meet the challenge of illegal migrant smuggling.”

“The Pacific Islands Forum member States and the Forum secretariat are individually and collectively resolved to do all we can to combat the scourge of terrorism. We have welcomed and we fully support Security Council resolution 1373 (2001). It is a trailblazing step that reflects the universal revulsion at the attacks of 11 September. We commend the speed and vigour with which the Counter-Terrorism Committee, under the chairmanship of Ambassador Greenstock, has gone about its work. In particular, we appreciate the understanding that the Committee has shown regarding technical and other assistance, which some countries will need to fulfil their obligations under resolution 1373 (2001).”

“Mr. President, allow me first to congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of January and for your initiative in convening this important meeting, especially by allowing non-Council members to participate. I also wish to congratulate the new Council members who assumed their seats in the Council at the beginning of this month. It is my honour and privilege to address the Security Council, for the first time since Nauru became a United Nations Member in 1999, on behalf of the members of the Pacific Islands Forum Group of countries that maintain permanent missions in New York - namely, Australia, the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, the Marshall Islands, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and my own country, Nauru.”
