“We very much welcome the fact that the new resolution includes a specific mention of the importance of the role of the Office of the Ombudsperson and calls upon the Secretary-General to take all the necessary measures to continue to ensure the independence and effectiveness of that Office. We hope that, on the basis of that new paragraph in the resolution, we will make progress towards the full institutionalization of the Office of the Ombudsperson, which plays an essential role in the work of the Committee.”

“It is crucial that we are able to identify and cut off financial flows at that early stage. Moreover, terrorist groups have exploited new payment methods in financing their criminal activities. Against that backdrop, we must be able to put in place mechanisms to control and avert the use of such tools for financing of terrorism. Finally, I would like to highlight the point that the new instrument adopted today by the Security Council includes elements that will serve to strengthen one of the core principles in the fight against terrorism, namely, respect for human rights.”

“To ensure effective coordination, however, a necessary first step requires us to establish national structures capable of handling the information and intelligence that is indispensable and relevant if we are to prevent and fight this scourge. As part of the combat against the financing ofterrorism, access to information is an essential element. It is important that we intensify efforts and improve transparency regarding the real holders of funds, who hide themselves behind other persons and legal provisions. We have a lengthytaskbefore us, but we must address it with a broad perspective that not only focuses on the financing of terrorism but also encompasses financial aspects of violent extremism and radicalization, which is the life blood of such organizations. Daesh also needs to finance its processes for attracting new adherents.”

“That is why I believe that one of the first tasks on which we need to redouble our efforts is in raising global awareness about the risks. All countries are faced with the risk of being used to divert funds for the purpose of terrorism. And therefore all countries must act with determination to set up effective oversight mechanisms. The global nature of the threat necessarily requires a coordinated response aimed at eliminating any vacuum or gap or disconnect that could be exploited by terrorists to their own ends. We must therefore improve communication networks and information exchange, both bilaterally and multilaterally and eradicate any existing impediment, as called for in the resolution we have adopted today.”

“Spain is fully committed to the core principles of the United Nations, especially the initiatives developed to combat terrorism generally, and the financing of terrorism in particular. Often we are tempted to see terrorism as an issue that is only of interest to those countries that suffer from terrorist attacks first hand. However, we tend to forget that we live in an interconnected world with a globalized economy. Therefore, the risk that the financial system of one country could be used to channel funding to terrorism exists in every country in the world. Those who finance terrorism take advantage of the lack of control over the risk that may exist in some countries in order to abuse the financial system.”

“The resolution incorporates Daesh as part of the United Nations sanctions regime; it strengthens and enhances the obligations of Member States in the light of the recent recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force; and it sets up systematic reporting, which will facilitate the updating of intelligence information of the United Nations and its States Members on the reality we are facing. The urgency of the threat represented by Daesh today justifies the updating of the sanctions regime and making sanctions as effective as possible. That is why we very much welcome the new measures set out by the resolution with regard to the functioning of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011).”

“Mr. De Guindos Jurado (Spain) (spoke in Spanish): Allow me to begin, Mr. President, by welcoming your initiative, which gives us an opportunity for Ministers for Finance to come together at the Security Council in a historic meeting. I also wish to express my gratitude for the contributions and leadership of the Secretary- General and of the President of the Financial Action Task Force. I would like especially to congratulate the Russian Federation and the United States of America for introducing resolution 2253 (2015), which improves the tools at the disposal of the international community for combating the financing of international terrorism in three important ways.”
