  1. “As we face the evolving challenge of terrorism, and as we work to implement the letter and the spirit of resolution 1373 (2001), the Security Council and the Counter-Terrorism Committee can be assured of the continuing full support of the members of the Pacific Islands Forum group.”

  2. “The task of the new Assessment and Technical Assistance Office in following up on the technical assistance needs of Member States will be particularly important as the CTC moves ahead with its work. Continued efforts at the regional and subregional levels will remain critical to translating the terms of resolution 1373 (2001) into effective action. The Pacific Islands Forum group has taken a number of steps to increase its political and technical cooperation in that field. With the assistance of the Forum secretariat and regional donor partners, work is ongoing to ensure that a robust and consistent framework of anti-terrorism measures is in place across the region. A Pacific roundtable on counter-terrorism will be held in Wellington, New Zealand, in early May to further that goal.”

  3. “We welcome the Council's analysis of these issues and its determination to see the Committee take a clear and pragmatic direction in its future work, as reflected in its proposal for the revitalization of the Committee contained in the report under discussion today. The clarification of the roles of the Council, the CTC and the new Executive Directorate set out in the report should, in our view, significantly assist in this regard. As a group made up of primarily developing States, many of them small island States, the Pacific Islands Forum places particular emphasis on capacity- building. We accordingly welcome the report's renewed focus on strengthening direct dialogue with States and relevant organizations.”

  4. “If the objectives of the resolution are to be attained, it will require full and meaningful implementation of its requirements. This, in turn, requires the Counter- Terrorism Committee to take a proactive role, in consultation with Member States, in evaluating the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001), focused and directed at increasing and improving the capacity of States - particularly small island States - in the fight against terrorism. This meeting provides a useful opportunity to reflect on the work so far done by the Counter- Terrorism Committee and the road that lies ahead to ensure the full implementation of the now landmark resolution 1373 (2001).”

  5. “The threat of terrorism, although always present, has increasingly assumed an international character, including the frightening prospect of terrorists' obtaining access to weapons of mass destruction - an issue that will be considered tomorrow at a seminar on weapons of mass destruction and the United Nations, organized by the International Peace Academy with the support of the Government of New Zealand. Terrorism is a global problem and, if it is to be eliminated, requires action at the national, regional and international levels. The Pacific Islands Forum therefore supports the work of the Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) established under resolution 1373 (2001). Resolution 1373 (2001) brought a significant new element to the existing multilateral counter-terrorism framework.”

  6. “It is my honour to address the Council on behalf of the members of the Pacific Islands Forum group of countries that maintain permanent missions in New York: Australia, the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and my own country, New Zealand. The countries of the Pacific Islands Forum group reaffirm our unequivocal condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and our continuing determination to fight against terrorism by all means possible, consistent with human rights and the rule of law. As history has too often demonstrated to us, no State is immune from acts of terrorism.”
