1. “At the domestic level, we adopt an annual national strategy to strengthen close coordination among relevant agencies, including the private sector, and ensure that our legal and institutional infrastructures are adequate to deal with the emerging methods of terrorist financing. In closing, we must adapt to changing technology and new methods of financing. We must be innovative in our approach, not only in tracing terrorist money but also in preventing the creation of terror money. We must not stop at finding their resources, but use all our financial resources to curtail terrorist activities.”

2. “Exchanging information and best practices; lending technical assistance and adequate resources for capacity- building; enhancing the capacity of financial intelligence units and law enforcement agencies; and bolstering coordination among relevant United Nations agencies, including close consultation and synergy with international financial institutions, are indeed vital. In that regard, Indonesia, together with Australia, Malaysia and Thailand, has since 2015 alternately hosted the Counter-Terrorism Financing Summit, which advocates for a regional risk assessment to analyse the threat, vulnerability and impact of the financing of terrorism in the Asia-Pacific region.”

3. “Given the nature of such challenges, we need to be not only decisive, consistent and firm in our policies, but also flexible in our strategies and innovative and practical in our approach. Nonetheless, States' particularities in addressing the challenges of terrorist financing must also be taken into account and recognized. For the sake of effectivity, any measure, including capacity-building, must therefore correspond to the needs and interests of any particular State. We cannot afford to have an evil opponent, with its rapidly changing forms of operation, outpace our international cooperation. That brings me to my final point. The fight against terrorist financing must take place within the framework of strengthened international cooperation and coordination. We have no other option.”

4. “As such, we must reaffirm our commitment to existing international instruments, such as the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, relevant resolutions and the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force. Nevertheless, we are still witnessing a wide gap in implementation. It is therefore both imperative and crucial for us to ensure that all instruments are implemented effectively. Secondly, we need to strengthen our adaptive capabilities in responding to increasingly dynamic and complex challenges. There is a clear indication that terrorist financing is shifting towards high- tech cyberactivities, including sophisticated online transactions, which has made it even more difficult for authorities to detect and curb them.”

5. “Moreover, Indonesia is fully committed to fighting terrorism, including terrorist financing, not only because Indonesia has been a victim of terrorist attacks as well but also due to our deep concern that terrorism has been evolving in its modus operandi, which continuously poses imminent threats to our society. With that in mind, Indonesia would like to share three main standpoints. First, we need to close the implementation gap in international instruments related to preventing and combating the financing of terrorism. The resolution we adopted today, which Indonesia co-sponsored, has provided both great momentum and a significant push for us all to further enhance our common and concerted efforts in addressing the financing of terrorism.”

6. “I would first like to commend you, Mr. President, for convening this important debate and congratulate all delegations on their excellent work in producing the important resolution 2462 (2019), which the Security Council has just adopted. I also wish to warmly thank Mr. Voronkov, Mr. Billingslea and Ms. Buku for their insightful briefings. The recent terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, was a reminder for us that no country is immune from terrorism. Indonesia once again condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, regardless of its origins or motivations. In the same vein, we also continue to strongly reject any attempt to link terrorist acts to any specific religion, nationality, people or civilization.”

7. “As stated in resolution 497 (1981), Israel's decision to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights is null and void and without international legal effect. I consequently would like to reaffirm Indonesia's principled position in recognizing the Golan Heights as an integral part ofthe Syrian Arab Republic that was occupied by Israel in 1967. In conclusion, Indonesia would like to reiterate that peace in the Middle East can be achieved only if the international community, especially the Security Council, is united along all fronts. We must never forget that our mandate is to save human lives and humankind.”

8. “We therefore call upon the Security Council to monitor those developments very closely so as to avoid a potential escalation of conflict that could be too costly if handled too late. Allow me to clearly state Indonesia's position on the recent situation in the Golan Heights. Indonesia strongly rejects the United States illegal move in recognizing Israel's sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, as it is an escalatory and grave violation of international law, the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and relevant Security Council resolutions, in particular resolution 497 (1981). This action will provoke and disrupt ongoing efforts to create peace and stability in the region. It is therefore entirely unacceptable by any standard.”

9. “The two-State solution is the only realistic way to achieve a just, lasting and comprehensive peace between the parties. Indonesia also continues to encourage Palestine in attaining national unity. We commend the efforts of Egypt and Russia in support of national reconciliation initiatives. Upholding the status quo at the holy sites in Jerusalem is important. The sealing by the occupying Power this month of all gates to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, as well as the Old City of Jerusalem, is a dangerous measure that has further inflamed the tensions and was probably designed with that aim. Those measures are capable of further destabilizing the already complex and fragile situation and triggering violence. Instability in Palestine, particularly in Jerusalem, will have a significant ripple effect in the region and beyond.”

10. “We applaud the Palestinian people for their resilience and determination to withstand such pressure in spite of their dire economic, political and humanitarian crises. We also fully respect the Palestinian Authority's policy of full transfer or nothing at all. On the positive side, we applaud the effort of the United Nations country team and other donors, through its various initiatives and projects, among others the Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism. Just last month, Indonesia also committed to increasing its financial support to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East and building a desalination project in Gaza. My third point is that any future peace plan must respect the agreed parameters based on relevant United Nations resolutions.”

11. “Let me reiterate in the strongest terms Indonesia's rejection and condemnation of any such attempts. Secondly, we must all step up our efforts to improve the humanitarian and economic conditions of the Palestinian people. That is even more pressing in view of the diminishing commitments of some others with regard to multilateralism and humanitarian assistance. We are deeply concerned about the non-payment of $139 million in Palestinian tax revenues by the occupying Power. This constitutes the illegitimate confiscation of other's property and violates the Paris Protocol on Economic Relations - a treaty that Israel signed with the Palestinian Authority. It is unjust, unfair, grossly unacceptable and definitely illegal.”

12. “That is a blatant violation ofhuman decency, international humanitarian law and human rights. Both reports present three main concerns to which we must be alert. First, there is a clear and worrying tendency towards the effective annexation of Palestine by the occupying Power. We have a long list of violations that have been consistently and blatantly committed by the occupying Power. They include the continued construction of illegal settlements, the closure of the Temporary International Presence in Hebron, the non-payment of Palestinian revenues, incidents at Al-Haram Al-Sharif, as well as violence committed by the authorities, the security forces and settlers, to name just a few. That goes against everything the United Nations has been striving for since 1947.”

13. “I wish to thank Special Coordinator Nickolay Mladenov for the comprehensive briefing. Let me also thank the Secretariat for the second written report (S/2019/251) on the implementation of resolution 2334 (2016). The report demonstrates yet another sad reality - not a single element of the resolution has been implemented by the occupying Power, nor is there is any sign of future implementation. On the contrary, the occupying Power has blatantly dismissed the Council's resolution. Another bleak condition has been reported by the independent international commission of inquiry on the brutality of the occupying Power, including the use of live ammunition at close range against civilians, even against children, medical personnel and persons with disabilities.”
