1. “The international community's commitment to combat terrorism must be unambiguous. We reaffirm that there is only one type of terrorism. All of its victims are innocent and equal. We cannot have first and second- class types of terrorism when its effects are the same on society. Terrorism is not unfamiliar to Colombians. We suffered its deplorable effects for decades. It creates terror, undermines confidence, violates people's rights to life and security, which are recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Cooperation among countries to combat and eliminate the terrorist threat must be strengthened with mechanisms that make it possible to implement joint programmes and policies to strengthen the rule of law and protect society from this scourge.”

2. “In this connection, Colombia would like to inform the international community that on 14 September it acceded to the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings, and has ratified the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism. We believe that resolution 1566 (2004) adopted by the Council on 8 October renews its will to combat terrorism in all its forms. It is an important step forward in the world's struggle against terrorism by creating a working group to examine the possibility of imposing measures on persons or groups associated with terrorist activities other than those designated by the Al Qaeda/Taliban sanctions Committee. That reiterates Colombia's position to the effect that there is only one type of terrorism, and it must by fought with equal determination everywhere.”

3. “Ms. Holguin (Colombia) (spoke in Spanish): I am grateful to the Ambassador of the Russian Federation for his comprehensive presentation the Counter-Terrorism Committee's (CTC) activities. We would like to reiterate that Colombia recognizes the progress achieved by CTC. We welcome its increasingly strong promotion of global implementation of resolution 1373 (2001) on the basis of the principles of cooperation, transparency and equal treatment. We also welcome progress in terms of the structure of the Committee, the work of its Executive Director and his team, and the help given to countries wishing to implement 1373 (2001).”
