  1. “We are determined, with our partners, to address those concerns and to work to strengthen the AI-Qaida and Taliban sanctions regime so that it can be used with increasing effectiveness and efficiency while being seen to be transparent and fair. My Government will continue to play a constructive role in ensuring that this regime remains credible as a tool for maintaining and restoring international peace and security. We look forward to working with our partners on a new resolution for the regime at the end of the year. Finally, I would like to associate the United Kingdom with the statement which will be made by the representative of the Czech Republic on behalf of the European Union.”

  2. “We are working to ensure that our part in the process is meaningful. We urge others to continue to do the same. With that in mind, I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the Monitoring Team, which is assisting us in this task. However, the review of the current list should not mark an end to our efforts. The Al-Qaida and Taliban sanctions regime is a vital counter-terrorism tool that enables the international community to disrupt terrorist activity on a much greater scale than through domestic measures alone. But as we know, its legitimacy is under threat. The concerns expressed by European courts over recent months should not be taken lightly. These are genuine concerns which are wide-reaching and which affect the heart of the regime.”

  3. “The ongoing stock-taking exercise needs to be used as an opportunity for dialogue with States where the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001) is still not adequate. We are pleased that focused visits have given the CTED greater flexibility and allowed it to conduct a larger number of more targeted, shorter Visits focusing on the main issues of concern. We thank Mr. Smith for his leadership of the CTED. Looking ahead, we look forward to the Security Council's interim review of the CTED, due next month, and the update of the global survey of resolution 1373 (2001) implementation at the end of the year. With respect to the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999), we are pleased with the progress made since the adoption of resolution 1822 (2008) and that the comprehensive review of the consolidated list is well under way.”

  4. “It has made a start on planning the comprehensive review of the status of implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) based on an open meeting of the Committee. The United Kingdom was pleased to be able to sponsor the regional workshop on implementation in Doha, Qatar, in March. While the universal implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) remains the vital goal, the United Kingdom would like to see the emphasis shift towards effective implementation in States where there are the more serious deficiencies. Bilateral meetings in the margins of regional outreach events are one way in which these issues are beginning to be picked up. We would like to see more of this. As for the Counter-Terrorism Committee, the United Kingdom is pleased with the continuing progress in capacity-building and standard-setting.”

  5. “The participation of all three Committees in the work of the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force is also welcome. In particular, the co-location with the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) of the Task Force, under its first full-time head - who I understand will be arriving within a couple of weeks - should also help us progress towards the goal of one United Nations for counter-terrorism activity. With respect to the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), the United Kingdom is pleased with progress on a number of fronts. The new team of 1540 Committee expert staff is now fully in place. The Committee has a new programme of work and a new working group structure to implement it.”

  6. “The significance of the roles of all three Committee's in countering the serious threat of terrorism has already been well underlined. I should like to say first a few words about the joint work undertaken by all the Committees. The United Kingdom welcomes this because it demonstrates the growing reality of cooperation among the three Committees. It is part of a broader trend towards more joined-up and effective United Nations work on counter-terrorism. While each Committee has a clear and specific mandate, this collaboration between the Committees can be particularly helpful to States receiving joint visits rather than a succession of delegations. It is also helpful in terms of spotting synergies in domestic implementation.”

  7. “I should like to thank Ambassadors Mayr-Harting, Lacroix and Urbina for their briefings, and to welcome Ambassador Mayr- Harting to his first briefing in his capacity as Chairman of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999). It was also, I believe, Ambassador Lacroix's first such briefing. I am sure that he will not mind my saying that I hope it is also his last, as it will be if our best wishes for the speedy recovery for the full-time Chair, Ambassador Jurica, are granted. We hope that Ambassador Jurica is able to resume his duties soon. I thank Ambassador Lacroix and his colleagues for their additional work in providing the necessary continuity and for keeping the Committee's business on a forward trajectory.”
