“I am now required to make a statement in my national capacity. As Chair of the Counter-Terrorism Committee, it has been India's constant endeavour to provide political direction to the work of the Committee and greater momentum to the efforts to bolster the ability of Member States to confront the scourge of terrorism. The international community must step up its collective efforts with real cooperation among Member States in order to confront the scourge of terrorism squarely and decisively. We need concerted action against terrorists and their sponsors, including the complete dismantling of terrorist safe havens, sanctuaries, training grounds and financial and ideological support structures. We need to adopt a holistic approach that ensures zero tolerance towards terrorism.”

I should like to conclude by expressing my sincere appreciation to Mr. Michael Smith, Executive Director of CTED, and to his team for their excellent work on the Committee's behalf and to thank the Secretariat for its continued support.”

These tools are designed to further enhance thoroughness, consistency, transparency and even-handedness in the Committee's stocktaking process, with a view to identifying States' strengths and challenges in countering terrorism worldwide. The Committee continues to focus on region-specific discussions and on issues identified in the 2011 Global Survey.

In June this year, the Committee conducted an interim review of CTED, in accordance with resolution 1963 (2010), which stipulated that the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate would continue to operate as a special political mission under the policy guidance of the Counter-Terrorism Committee for the period ending 31 December 2013.

“Previous special meetings of the Committee, focusing on various major counter-terrorism-related themes, have been held in New York, Washington, DC, Vienna, Almaty, Nairobi and Strasbourg. This year's special meeting will focus on raising Member States' awareness of the terrorist financing threat; drawing attention to related best practices, including the revised FATF recommendations, and their relevance to the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001); discussion of experiences and effective measures in addressing related challenges; and helping to ensure that combating terrorist financing remains a priority for Member States.

“It gives me great pleasure to briefthe Security Council on the work of the Committee since the previous briefing, held in May this year (see S/PV.6767). The Committee continues to be guided in its work by the relevant Security Council resolutions, especially resolutions 1373 (2001), 1624 (2005) and 1963 (2010), and continues to play a critical role in promoting and facilitating their implementation.

“The three groups share information about forthcoming meetings and relevant activities with a View to coordinating activities, while bearing in mind their distinct yet complementary roles. The three expert groups continue to hold joint meetings where appropriate, whether involving the heads of each team or the expert teams, in order to prepare for country visits and relevant workshops and to exchange information on particular themes or activities in specific regions or countries. The CTITF continues to be invited to participate in these joint meetings. A fuller version of this statement is available to the Council.

“Since May 2012, the coordinated approach to organizations agreed upon by the three expert groups continues to be enriched by the significant contributions made by CTED and Monitoring Team representatives to conferences involving a large number of international, regional and subregional organizations. Continued participation in such events enhances cooperation between and among the Security Council members and the participating organizations and also serves to promote the full implementation of the relevant Security Council resolutions. The Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF) continues to provide a platform for enhanced cooperation by the three expert groups, not only among themselves, but also with over 30 United Nations institutions, agencies and programmes concerned with various aspects of counter-terrorism.”

“Since their acceptance as observers to the Middle East and North Africa Financial Action Task Force (FATF), CTED and the Monitoring Team have begun the practice of making presentations on the other's behalf, where possible, in order to facilitate engagement with as many partners as allowed by the available time and resources, and always bearing in mind their distinct yet complementary roles. Several recent country visits conducted by CTED on behalf of the Counter-Terrorism Committee included the participation of a representative of the Monitoring Team and, where applicable, of the 1540 Committee group of experts.”

The Monitoring Team and CTED also continued to participate jointly in events hosted by United Nations bodies.”

“The Committees look forward to the discussions to be held on this proposal, including within their respective mandates on further improving cross-institutional coherence in United Nations counter- terrorism efforts. The coordinated outreach activities and country visits of the expert groups are important tools for the three Committees in facilitating the full implementation of their respective mandates. These tools strengthen dialogue with Member States, help to improve understanding of the distinct yet complementary roles of the three Committees, and assist them in the implementation of the relevant resolutions. I am pleased to report on some areas in which cooperation between the expert groups has been increased.”

“The Committees' groups of experts can play a pertinent role in advising States seeking assistance in building counter-terrorism capacity. The three Committees welcome all efforts aimed at enhancing the visibility of United Nations counter- terrorism activities and at strengthening cooperation, coordination and coherence among United Nations entities with a view to promoting transparency and avoiding duplication. The three Committees also note the invitation extended to the Secretary-General in General Assembly resolution 66/282 of 12 July 2012, adopted within the framework of the review of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, to provide Member States with greater detail on the proposal for creating a United Nations counter- terrorism coordinator.”

“The three Committees welcome the continuing efforts of their expert groups to cooperate on outreach activities and country visits conducted within their respective mandates, enhance cooperation with international, regional and subregional organizations, increase the exchange of information, participate in joint meetings and engage in reciprocal representation, as appropriate. The need to strengthen capacities remains a key concern of many States faced with emerging counter- terrorism challenges. This is true in particular in respect of the challenges posed by the exploitation of technological advances by terrorists and non-State actors. This includes but is not limited to the use of the Internet as an effective communication channel and for public outreach.”

“Terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction continue to pose a serious threat to international peace and security. It therefore remains important to ensure Close cooperation and effective coordination between the Counter-Terrorism Committee, the Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee and the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004). Moreover, the three Committees continue to attach great importance to effective coordination and cooperation between their respective expert groups, the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED), the Monitoring Team of the Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee, and the group of experts assisting the 1540 Committee.”

“The General Framework Agreement for Peace and its implementation have ensured peace and security in Bosnia and Herzegovina over the last 17 years. Nothing should be done to undermine the Peace Agreement's foundations or roll back the reforms undertaken to implement it. We would therefore urge the leadership of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the international community, to persevere in spite of the problems that are encountered. We hope that the Bosnian parties will engage, in a spirit of compromise and maturity, in addressing political problems so that the Peace Agreement and its implementation are strengthened. They should also take concerted steps so that the currently deteriorating economic prospects are reversed and the country can return to the path of high growth of the pre-recession years.”

“It is never easy to build a multi-ethnic, multilingual, multicultural and multi-religious country. The problems that have been mentioned in the report and the briefing of the High Representative are bound to be encountered in the path of building a nation inhabited by people of different faiths, ethnicities and languages. Our own experience over the last six decades has convinced us that although the path to building such a nation is long and arduous, the fruits are well worth the efforts. Resolving the problems facing the Bosnian peoples therefore calls for patience, determination and mutual accommodation. Unilateral actions, mutual suspicion, rhetorical statements and violations of the General Framework Agreement for Peace will only Vitiate the political and social atmosphere and delay the achievement of their goals.”

“We are, however, glad that the recent State property ruling by the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has laid out guiding principles for the resolution of the State property issue. We also welcome the closure of the Brcko Final Award office on 31 August. Through their continued presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the European Union and NATO military missions have carried out an important role in ensuring that country's citizens' safety and security, even when the political situation is tense. We commend the efforts made by the European Union-led force and support the extension of its mandate. As I have said in previous meetings, Bosnia and Herzegovina is a novel experiment in building a new nation from the rubble of the civil war that the peoples of the former Yugoslavia had to endure in the 1990s.”

“We commend the conducting of local elections on 7 October, and we hope that grass-roots democratic institutions will promote nation-building, intercommunity harmony and the rule of law. The joint declaration of the Foreign Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia on cooperation to protect and promote the rights of refugees, returnees and internally displaced persons, signed earlier this year, should serve as an important confidence-building measure. Such cooperation will not only promote regional cooperation, but also facilitate their common aspirations for Euro-Atlantic integration. We have noted that the progress on outstanding issues for the closure of the Office of the High Representative has been somewhat slow.”

“I will now make a statement in my national capacity. At the outset, I would like to welcome High Representative Valentin Inzko to the Council and to thank him for both his comprehensive briefing and his report on the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina (see S/2012/813). It is a matter of satisfaction that there has been peace and stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the period covered by the report. However, political developments are of serious concern. There has been little progress in the country's Euro-Atlantic integration. Negative rhetoric has adversely affected economic prospects. Those issues need to be addressed by political entities within the framework established by the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

Before I conclude, I would like to express our appreciation for the leadership shown by the Acting Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Timor-Leste, Mr. Finn Reske-Nielsen, during the transition, and for the dedication of his team in supporting the Government and people of Timor-Leste.

“We have noted with satisfaction that overall economic growth, including proceeds from the oil and gas sector, continues to be robust. The Government's continued focus on infrastructure and capital development should certainly help to usher in a rapid socioeconomic transition in the country. The international community must support the Government in its efforts to achieve socioeconomic development, eradicate poverty and strengthen its institutions. India attaches great importance to its relations with Timor-Leste. We have sought to contribute to its development by providing expertise and training in areas of our competence and where we see complementarities in their application. India has extended its support to the Government of Timor-Leste in the areas of socioeconomic development and human resources development.”

“As stated by Ambassador Baso Sangqu of South Africa, who led the Council's mission, and as indicated in Prime Minister Gusmao's letter to the Secretary- General (S/2012/736), there has been an unambiguous message from the Timorese people that the country should no longer remain on the Council's agenda and that UNMIT should withdraw as planned by the end of this year. We are particularly pleased that there is consensus among all stakeholders that UNMIT should withdraw as scheduled. As UNMIT draws down, it is important that the contours of the post-transition United Nations presence should be finalized in accordance with the wishes and priorities of the Government. Timorese ownership and leadership are essential to building on the progress achieved so far.”

We appreciate the resilience and determination of the Timorese people and its leadership in firmly taking their country forward on paths to long-term peace, stability and development. The active engagement of all political parties in the democratic process is an encouraging indicator of their abiding commitment to democracy. We would also like to commend UNMIT for its overall support to that end and for making the Mission a success story.”

The year 2012 has been an important milestone in the consolidation of democratic transition in Timor-Leste. This year the country celebrated the tenth anniversary of restoration of its independence. Presidential and parliamentary elections were also held in a calm and stabile security environment. Timorese police and armed forces have conducted themselves professionally and in a responsible manner. We compliment the Policia Nacional de Timor-Leste (PNTL) for its efforts aimed at continuing to strengthen its institutional development and capacity-building.”
