  1. “I am pleased to announce today at the Security Council that the United Arab Emirates is launching a diplomatic initiative aimed at building international cooperation and facilitating dialogue through a contact group on countering extremism. This strategic effort will focus on developing and disseminating concrete solutions and best practices in countering extremism. The progress made through the contact group will complement and reinforce the efforts of the anti-Daesh coalition and support the United Nations to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, as enshrined in the Charter. Let me conclude by congratulating China on its successful stewardship of the Security Council during its presidency.”

  2. “Next, we must focus on cooperating to eliminate the root causes of extremism. In the United Arab Emirates, we are building a national model of moderation, tolerance and unity. We believe that our model is a contemporary counter-narrative to extremism and a clear refutation of the brutal and false message of extremists. The challenge of countering extremism requires an urgent, global, coordinated and multi-stakeholder effort. There are many important United Nations initiatives in place, particularly with regard to counter-terrorism, but there is now a critical need to support effective, State-led policy interventions to counter extremism through social, economic and political means and on multiple levels.”

  3. “At the United Nations, Security Council efforts, including resolution 2199 (2015), sponsored by the Russian Federation, to cut off the financial lifelines of these groups, and resolutions 2170 (2014) and 2178 (2014), on combating the flow of foreign fighters, are significant. Further normative developments to inhibit the transmission of extremist messages - for example, through social media - are also encouraging. As President Barack Obama announced at last week's Summit, the United States, in collaboration with the United Arab Emirates, will establish a new digital communications hub to work with religious leaders, civil society and community leaders to counter terrorist propaganda. Those efforts have been vital in the global campaign to tackle the threat of extremism.”

  4. “The risks of militants gaining control of Libya's significant resources and utilizing them to export their extremist activities across borders are a clear and present danger, not only for our region but for the world. Our resoluteness as the international community is required, or we will face a much more complicated and dangerous situation in Libya. We should also note where the international community is making progress. Last week, the United Arab Emirates was one of 60 countries to attend the Summit on Countering Violent Extremism, hosted by the United States White House, where the anti-Daesh coalition confirmed it had made strategic advances on the ground.”

  5. “We extend our full support to the endeavours of Special Representative Bernardino Leo'n. There is an urgent need for a political agreement. However, a political strategy must be accompanied by a robust posture that ensures that extremism and terrorism do not take advantage of the ongoing international mediation. That is why the United Arab Emirates unconditionally endorses the draft resolution steered by Libya and Egypt to lift the arms embargo on the legitimate Libyan authorities. That is a necessary step for the legitimate Libyan Government and the House of Representatives to exercise their sovereign power and secure regional stability. Any delay will seriously impact the situation on the ground and send a dangerous signal to the militant groups responsible for the atrocities.”

  6. “On a positive note, we would like to commend the Security Council, and Jordan and the United Kingdom in particular, for their efforts to consult and involve the Gulf Cooperation Council in the drafting of resolution 2201 (2015). Implementation is now the priority challenge in Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates stands ready to assist in this critical task. The United Arab Emirates also reaffirms our commitment to the legitimate Government headed by President Hadi Mansour, calls for the release of Prime Minister Bahah from house arrest, and urges a return to the political process that was derailed through the use of force by the Houthi militias. With regard to Libya, the United Arab Emirates was horrified by the recent atrocities and by the ongoing terrorist attacks plaguing Libya and neighbouring countries.”

  7. “Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, greater consideration must be taken of the human cost of protracted debates and inaction. For example, the crisis in Syria has forcibly displaced close to 11 million people - 3 million beyond its borders and 7.6 million internally. Additionally, the suffering inflicted on the Palestinian population, within Palestine and in the diaspora, remains one of the gravest injustices in the Arab region and has ramifications for the entire world. In many parts of our region - especially in Syria, Iraq and Yemen - current challenges have further highlighted the need for legitimate, international engagement.”

  8. “First, it is vital that the Security Council consult and coordinate with concerned States, even when dealing with fast-moving, complex situations. Reform of these working methods will make the Council more effective and ensure that the full range of perspectives of those countries most affected is considered. Secondly, Article 52 of the Charter of the United Nations states: "The Security Council shall encourage the development of pacific settlement of local disputes through such regional arrangements". Neighbouring States have the most to gain from the peaceful resolution of a security crisis, and everything to lose from protracted conflict. The role of regional organizations as an essential component of the international security system must be further utilized and supported by the Security Council. Mr. Wang Min took the Chair.”

  9. “I thank you, Mr. President, for presiding over this important debate. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his briefing. As we approach the seventieth anniversary of the founding of the universal and indispensable Organization, the United Arab Emirates reaffirms its commitment to the core principles of the Charter of the United Nations and takes this opportunity to reflect on how best to collectively equip the United Nations to deal with the ever-more complex challenges before us. The pressure of these challenges is fracturing the global security order and being exploited by non-State actors. Today more than at any time in recent history, we need a strong and effective United Nations and Security Counci. In that context, the United Arab Emirates would offer the following observations.”
