  1. “But it also hinders development and economic growth globally. It is therefore important for us that the global framework for countering this threat be firmly anchored at the United Nations and that all Member States and others in the United Nations family are actively engaged in the efforts to build resilience and to counter violent extremism wherever we meet it. A successful approach to counter-terrorism must therefore revolve around partnerships.”

  2. “Countering extremism by investing in prevention measures, education and jobs for youths is key, as is paying attention to the need to extend citizen participation and democracy to all. Our own experience has shown us that we must focus on applying an early preventive effort while at the same time being capable of managing more eminent threats. In Georgia and Tunisia, we are launching new initiatives with the Governments to counter radicalism. Those include a focus on youths, dialogue and preventive measures. To reduce the appeal of ISIL to potential foreign fighters, we are supporting initiatives to investigate and document war crimes and human rights abuses in Iraq and Syria committed by ISIL and other extremists. Violent extremism impacts the security of us all - in Copenhagen, Baghdad, Paris and New York.”

  3. “A functioning global order requires us to protect the innocent victims of terrorism where States fail to do so. It requires a comprehensive effort that involves military, economic and political being deployed strategically and through the broadest possible coalition. It was therefore good to hear this morning the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Lavrov, say that Russia would participate in the fight against ISIL - and we can see now that they have always been militarily active. But it was also troubling to hear that it was difficult to see who Russia has been militarily active against. Rumours say that it was not ISIL that was hit by the military aggression from Russia this morning. What we also need to do is to focus on how we can prevent persons from turning to terrorism in the first place.”

  4. “The main discussions in New York about Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and other terrorist organizations have served to remind us once again that the threat from terrorism and Violent extremism is accurate and real. Violent extremism and terrorism are not only a threat to innocent civilians of the countries of the Middle East and North Africa, they are a global challenge. To counter the terrorist threat effectively, we must be guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. Peace and respect for human rights go hand in hand. The international rule of law is not about selectively invoking tranquility as a shield for oppressive regimes while at the same time ignoring the legitimate rights of States in other regions of the world.”

  5. “However, as none of us can solve this problem on our own, it is imperative to link national initiatives and expertise with internal efforts. We consider the Global Counterterrorism Forum, established by the United States and Turkey three years ago, an obvious platform for building alliances across regions and continents to further the implementation of the resolution. Violent extremism has an impact on the security of us all, in Copenhagen, in Baghdad and in New York, but it also hampers development and economic growth globally. It is therefore very important for us that the global framework for countering the threat be firmly anchored in the United Nations and that all Members of the United Nations family engage actively in the effort to build resilience and counter violent extremism wherever we meet it.”

  6. “So far Denmark has provided immediate support to the international response in the military area, with 130 transport aircraft; significant humanitarian assistance to mitigate the extraordinary humanitarian crisis caused by the brutal acts of ISIL; and firm diplomatic support for the formation of the international coalition against ISIL. My Government only last Friday launched a new Danish national action plan to prevent violent extremism. It contains a wide range of initiatives to be implemented over the coming years. This builds on four interlinked responses to the threat: strengthening the capacities of local authorities to deal with radicalization; mitigating online radicalization and recruitment; intensifying international cooperation, including capacity-building assistance; and, lastly, working to mobilize civil society.”

  7. “In order to do this effectively, we must be ready to apply immediate measures, including military operations. Secondly, a broader preventive strategy is needed to reduce vulnerabilities to radicalization and to stem the flow of recruits and financial means to extremist groups. Finally, this threat is, as we well know, transnational in character, hence our response also needs to build on strengthened international cooperation, coordination and the sharing of lessons learned. Denmark wholeheartedly supports resolution 2178 (2014), just adopted, which we, too, co-sponsored. We warmly thank President Obama and Secretary Kerry for their leadership on this resolution and for spearheading an international coalition against ISIL and for an inclusive Iraqi Government.”

  8. “The challenges we are facing include providing assistance to concerned parents in an effort to prevent young people from travelling to war zones, but also to counter the threat from those who went and are coming back. Some of these young men and women will come back battle-hardened, strongly indoctrinated and with newly forged ties with extremist groups - groups with the clearly defined goal of harming our societies and our citizens as much as they can. If the international community is to counter this threat effectively, we need to be guided by our respect for the rule of law, and we need to apply a firm and truly holistic and integrated approach building on three pillars. First, we all have a responsibility to protect the suffering civilian population in the region against the ongoing atrocities committed by ISIL.”

  9. “The many discussions in New York and around the world this week about the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and other terrorist organizations have served to remind us once again that the threat from terrorism and violent extremism is acute and real. Violent extremism and terrorism are a threat not only to the innocent civilians of Abuja, Mosul or Aleppo. Relative to our country's size, a very large number of foreign fighters from my country have left to join forces with extremist groups in the Syrian theatre. To Denmark, as to many other European countries, the phenomenon of foreign fighters is not an abstract one; it constitutes a serious security concern.”
