  1. “We must use the existing channels of information exchange between the public and private sectors. Estonia is eager to continue participating in the international fight against the financing of terrorism.”

  2. “It is a dynamic and continuously evolving threat that requires vigilance and constant attention. In that respect, in February this year our Parliament passed the new International Sanctions Act, which will further support our entrepreneurs' compliance with the 2018 United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate the need to continue to invest towards technological solutions in the financial sector as terrorist organizations adapt very quickly. Our responses need to reflect the reality and adjust constantly to stay one step ahead of the terrorists in new emerging fields, such as cryptocurrencies. As civil society becomes increasingly dependent on digital technology, we must protect our civil society organizations by ensuring that they are well aware of the threat of terrorism financing.”

  3. “The global implementation of the FATF international standard allows us to better identify, mitigate and share information on terrorism financing. Focusing on the implementation of counter- terrorism financing legislation in Estonia, we joined the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism. We support all United Nations, NATO, Council of Europe and EU initiatives to combat terrorism and to freeze the funds and economic resources used by terrorists or provided by their supporters. Estonian legislation enables the full implementation of all Security Council resolutions concerning the fight against terrorism. Only two years ago, a court case in Estonia showed that terrorism financing as a phenomenon was not just an abstract, distant problem, even in our region.”

  4. “At the same time, effective counter-terrorism measures and the protection of human rights are complementary and mutually reinforcing objectives. We recognize that the financing of terrorism goes beyond State borders and that legal, administrative and operational frameworks vary among States. International cooperation, the exchange of information, the development of data interoperability and operational synchronization are therefore key. In that regard, we believe that the role of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and its regional body, the Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism, are of crucial importance, together, of course, with the United Nations, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.”

  5. “Da'esh and all terrorist organizations will continue to need money to spread their ideologies and to carry out attacks, especially those that operate clandestinely. We believe that, despite it being a global challenge, the fight against terrorism financing starts at the national level. Only States themselves can ensure that their national counter-terrorism and anti-money- laundering legislation has been successfully established and enforced. Only States can ensure that the relevant internationallegalinstrumentshavebeenfullyintegrated within their own national legal systems. Only States can ensure that they have sufficient national capacity and up-to-date information technology solutions to tackle the challenge of terrorist financing effectively.”

  6. “Allow me to thank France for organizing this timely debate, which can strengthen our collective approach towards the financing of terrorism. Estonia welcomes the adoption of resolution 2462 (2019) on countering the financing of terrorism. We align ourselves with the statement to be delivered by the observer of the European Union (EU). Terrorist acts can destabilize the society and attack the values that lie at the heart of the Charter of the United Nations. We must step up our efforts to combat those growing threats to peace and security. An effective response to combating terrorism and terrorism financing requires a comprehensive approach. It is clear that while the military operation Inherent Resolve in Syria and Iraq was a success, the challenge of fighting terrorism financing remains as relevant as ever.”
