“Regional cooperation plays a key role in the fight against the production, trafficking and sale of illicit narcotics, which threaten the socioeconomic future of the country as well as international peace and security. It would be advisable to also bear in mind the worrisome indicators that opium production has increased this year, which will fuel terrorism and extremism. Jordan welcomes all regional initiatives aimed at combatting narcotics, controlling the borders and promoting cooperation between and among law enforcement agencies and legal institutions. We also welcome the Afghan Government's efforts in the fight against drug trafficking and support its efforts to launch its plan to fight this scourge.”

“We are pleased with the Afghan Government's commitment to improve its relations with its neighbours. We hope that regional cooperation will be improved and that a climate of understanding will reign between and among the countries of the region. We also hope that the security situation and the tensions that exist will be responsibly addressed. We support the regional forums aimed at strengthening peace and security and regional stability and at increasing economic opportunities. We commend the holding of the Asia-Istanbul Process Ministerial Conference, and we support the commitment of the United Nations and other partners to promote dialogue and confidence-building.”

“The security situation in Afghanistan remains difficult. We are concerned about the ongoing terrorism that the people of Afghanistan suffer. Jordan condemns in the strongest terms all terrorist attacks against civilians, the Afghan National Security Forces and international workers in Afghanistan. I note the terrorist attack against the French Institute and the attack on a British vehicle, as well as other cowardly terrorist acts, not to mention the killing of Afghanis, including children. We reiterate the importance of providing lasting support to the Afghan National Security Forces, especially in the light of the reduction in the international presence in Afghanistan. We welcome the support provided by NATO, which will provide training, advice and assistance to the Afghan defence forces.”

“We hope that these positive developments will be followed up by the creation of a Government that is in a position to tackle the political, economic and security challenges that Afghanistan has always faced - a Government that allows for an acceleration of the reform agenda, ensures the electoral timetables and promotes the rule of law, as well as human rights, in particular the rights of women and the fight against violence against women and crimes against women in general. Afghanistan's efforts should be supported by the active and sustained engagement of the international community, in particular by the donor nations. Jordan commends the holding of the London Conference on Afghanistan, in which the Afghan leaders presented their new reform agenda, which is a very responsible plan in the area of development.”

“Mrs. Kawar (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): Iwould like to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Afghanistan, Mr. Nicholas Haysom, for his briefing. I also wish to thank the staff of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan for their commitment and devotion. I also thank the Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Mr. Yury Fedotov, and the Permanent Representative of Afghanistan, His Excellency Mr. Zahir Tanin, for their statements. The Afghan people are witnessing their first democratic transition in modern history. Political leaders have moved beyond the impasse. That shows the people's willingness to work tirelessly for peace and stability on the path of democracy.”

“In that regard, we reiterate the importance of the role of regional organizations in implementing measures aimed at achieving stability in the region, particularly by coordinating security between the countries of the region, supporting Government efforts to deal with structural challenges, and coming up with mechanisms for building institutional capacities through an integrated vision, so as to operationalize the United Nations integrated strategy for the Sahel and ensure its success in forming a regional system that can grapple with the challenges in the region and achieve peace and security there.”

“Peace and security in the region can be established only through regional cooperation that paves the way for appropriate solutions to all the overlapping and intertwined problems in the region, particularly in northern Mali. A comprehensive political analysis of the Sahel would be the key to understanding the scope of the crisis in Mali and to facilitating its transition. On this basis, we must activate and operationalize preventive diplomacy and redouble our coordination efforts to promote dialogue and negotiations, while respecting the unique cultural and linguistic identities of the countries of the region. Marginalizing those elements would lead to increased conflict. Therefore, no long-term solution will emerge without consensual social participation.”

“The growth of terrorist activity in the Sahel by Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, Boko Haram, Ansar Eddine, the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa and Al-Murabitun, as well as the spread of organized transnational crime and of arms and drugs have had a servere negative impact on the security of individuals and societies in West Africa. Economic vulnerability, extreme poverty and the lack of food security suffered by more than 20 million people in the area, as well as the impact of climate change and weak governance and institutions, are extremely complex, intertwined issues that are exacerbated by racial conflicts and regional tensions. The suffering is tragic, while the impact on democratic transitions and regional coherence has been dire.”

“Mrs. Kawar (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, allow me to thank you, Mr. President, for organizing this important meeting on peace and security in the Sahel region. I am also grateful to the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for the Sahel region for her tireless efforts in mobilizing support to implement the United Nations integrated strategy for the Sahel, which has three main pillars requiring an integrated regional response to the various challenges facing the region. The deteriorating political, economic and cultural situation in the Sahel have made it fertile ground for terrorism.”

“Here, we underscore the importance of the Committee listing the Australia Group as a provider of assistance without delay with a view to helping to promote the capacities of States requiring such support. As Council members will be aware, the Committee is preparing for the comprehensive review of the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) in 2016. Considering the importance of that review, we propose that the Committee give serious consideration to the possibility of creating a fifth working group devoted to preparations for the comprehensive review.”

“We express our appreciation of the work of the 1540 Committee and the Expert Group in facilitating assistance, and we look forward to an expansion of such activities through the Committee's fourteenth programme of work, which is scheduled to begin soon. We urge the Expert Group, in particular, to pay greater attention to facilitating assistance, closing technical gaps and building the capacity of States. We also express our appreciation for the assistance of States and international organizations that provide technical and other forms of assistance. We urge donors to continue providing such support, which benefits donors and recipients alike in such a way that we could even call it mutual assistance, taking into consideration the prevailing security environment in our States.”

“Jordan has taken concrete steps in compliance with resolution 1540 (2004) and subsequent relevant resolutions, adopting a number of relevant deterrent and preventative laws at the national level, as well as implementing effective control measures to monitor exports and prevent the spread of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and their means of delivery. Jordan has also acceded to a number of international and regional conventions in that area. I would also like to underscore that Jordan submitted its third national implementation report last month, covering the concrete progress made from 2006 to 2014. In that context, we also look forward to cooperating with international partners to prepare for the 2016 Nuclear Security Summit.”

“The Committee also engaged with 18 States out of the total 20 that have not yet submitted national reports, in an effort to achieve reporting universality, as that continues to be a challenge for the Committee and its work in future. The growth in the strength and capabilities of terrorist organizations and their sources of financing, as well as their control over vast areas in certain States, makes the possibility of their use of non-conventional weapons, including nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, a real danger. That should serve once again to draw our attention to the major responsibility that every State has to comply fully with resolution 1540 (2004).”

“Mrs. Kawar (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I should like to express my gratitude to the Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), His Excellency Ambassador Oh Joon, for his comprehensive briefing. We also express our appreciation for the great efforts made by Ambassador Oh Joon during his country's chairmanship of the Committee, which has experienced a great deal of activity recently - including the open debate held in May (see S/PV.7169), which resulted in the adoption of a presidential statement (S/PRST/2014/7), as well as the Committee's participation in 59 outreach activities and visits to Member States, most recently to the United Kingdom.”

“In conclusion, we urge the international community to continue providing this level of support to affected countries by providing the necessary resources and assistance, including field hospitals, clinical services, mobile laboratories and specialized trained personnel and methods of diagnosis aimed at women and children, and ensuring increased scientific research and readiness to combat the epidemic.”

“In that regard, we must continue with a high-level determination to deal with the developing and well-thought-out work plans and mechanisms to strengthen response at all levels. We also emphasize the important role of national leadership in the affected countries. In that context, Jordan has established a national commission to prepare an executive plan to deal with the Ebola virus, which includes providing all of the measures recommended by the World Health Organization, as well as all requirements for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the epidemic, in addition to communication with all the relevant parties.”

“All of the efforts of the various entities, including the Mano River Union, the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States, the European Union, the World Bank, the United Nations system and international partners must be harmonized in order to achieve that goal. According to General Assembly resolution 69/1, which was sponsored by 154 States, including Jordan, and which calls for action to halt the frightening spread of the virus in Africa and for the expansion of an international response to assist in eliminating the epidemic in West Africa, we wish to reaffirm the need to ensure priority for preventive measures to halt the spread of the epidemic.”

“UNMEER has begun to coordinate activities with various United Nations agencies and programmes in order to guarantee the implementation of its mandate while observing the best possible and effective use of resources and avoiding duplication of functions. We therefore call upon all national, regional and international parties, especially UNMEER, to identify response gaps with a view to halting the spread of the virus and treating those affected. Basic services must be effectively and efficiently provided, as monitoring and dealing with the spread of the epidemic will require strengthened coordinated action above and beyond the parameters of a general debate on the topic.”

“Despite the fact that the rates of contagion in Guinea and Liberia have recently stabilized, according to the most recent report of the World Health Organization, we must continue to work to contain and eliminate it before it spreads to neighbouring States, especially in the light of the appearance of individual cases in Mali, which have affected a number of personnnel in the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali. The threat of further spread is exacerbated by geographical proximity, free movement across borders and the connections among the economies of the regional States.”

“In fact, the three States most affected by the epidemic - Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone - are currently on the agenda of the Peacebuilding Commission. Well before the epidemic, those States were already at a highly vulnerable post- crisis stage. The epidemic has gravely damaged their economies, which are expected to suffer $32.6 billion in losses by 2015 if it is not contained. That comes in addition to the epidemic's long-term humanitarian and social ramifications. This dangerous virus not only kills its victims, but also leaves a deep impact on the societies where it spreads.”

“Mrs. Kawar (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): Iwould like to thank you, Mr. President, for organizing this very important meeting. I also thank Mr. Anthony Banbury, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Mission for Emergency Ebola Response (UNMEER); Mr. David Nabarro, Special Envoy of the Secretary-General on Ebola; and Mr. Thomas Mauget, Head of the French Red Cross in Guinea, for their briefings. The Ebola epidemic, which has recently spread in a number of West African States, has become more than a general public health crisis and is now a multidimensional crisis at the political, social, economic, humanitarian and security levels. It has expanded beyond West Africa to become a global threat to international peace and security.”

“What is the level of exhaustive and complementary planning between the military and the police, on the one hand, and the local administrative authorities on the ground, on the other, in implementing mandates while increasing efficiency and avoiding duplications of effort, wherever possible? Lastly, we wish to thank the Government of Australia for this very important initiative, which will have a positive impact on the ground and in the performance by the police components of their various duties.”

“My Government is striving to further develop these capacities by enhancing specialized training so as to respond to the growing and diverse needs in undertaking the broad array of tasks assigned. A higher degree of expertise will also increase the trust of citizens and civilians in our police. Jordanian police officers make use of United Nations training curricula to enhance the skills they deploy in formed police units and as advisers. I have a question for Police Commissioner Hinds of the United Nations Mission in Liberia. What are the lessons learned by and value added to the police experience of the Ebola crisis? We know that police components do not work in the medical field, yet they have had to meet this additional challenge. Next, I have another question for the Police Commissioners in general.”

“Through the resolution, the United Nations will be in a position to ensure the adequate participation of Member States in peacekeeping operations by providing officers and formed police units with specialized skills that meet international criteria for the implementation of mandates with professionalism and expertise. That will allow us to promote security and reduce the catastrophic impact of conflicts on civilians, while protecting them from a range of physical and psychological torments and threats. It will also help to strengthen security capacities in all their aspects. Jordan is considered to play a lead role through its participation in peacekeeping operations. Above and beyond the expertise that our country has developed in this area, our officers have accumulated years of experience in peacekeeping and peacebuilding.”

“Given the complexity of these tasks, the role of the police has evolved from its traditional oversight and monitoring tasks to diverse capacity-building efforts. Resolution 2185 (2014), adopted today - for which we thank the delegation of Australia - represents a cornerstone of our work and is strictly aligned to the Strategic Guidance Framework for International Police Peacekeeping adopted and updated by the Police Division of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations. Resolution 2185 (2014) underscores the criticial role played by the police components of peacekeeping operations and addresses practical measures to improve police performance in the implementation of mandates.”

“Since 1983, Jordan has participated in more than 20 United Nations peacekeeping operations and several special political missions. We have participated under various peacebuilding and peacekeeping mandates focused on police reform and capacity-building. Our experienced officers have contributed to those efforts. We have deployed 21,556 troops and 5,254 police officers to such missions. There is an urgent need to improve the performance and capacities of police components to implement the mandates of Security Council resolutions, especially in the light of the recent surge in demand for police, in terms of both numbers and quality, in peacekeeping operations and peacebuilding exercises.”

We hail the Blue Helmets who have assumed the noble duty of helping to prevent armed conflict, including in the Middle East. We Jordanians are proud to be among those nations that have made significant contributions to international efforts in the maintenance of international peace and security. We are fully vested in this noble approach at the highest level. Our commitment to this duty is rooted in our unswerving devotion to respect for human rights and the rule of law in the establishment of a safe and sustainable environment that offers stability and a decent life for peoples suffering through war and conflict.”

I also thank Mr. Herve' Ladsous, Under- Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, for his exhaustive briefing on the challenges encountered by United Nations peacekeeping police. I also thank the Police Commissioners of the peacekeeping missions in Liberia, South Sudan and the Central African Republic for the information they have shared on the importance of expertise, training operations and capacities to ensure the success of peacekeeping operations. We are also grateful for the briefing on the protection of civilians and women.”

“We call on the relevant United Nations agencies, including the Counter-Terrorism Centre, to support this initiative, which would be in the interests of us all. Our war against terrorism will take a long time. It is a war at the levels both of security and ideology. All of us must therefore be persistent and make every effort to defeat this scourge, which disrupts the safety and security of all of us.”

“With regard to our national and regional roles, we intend to launch a regional initiative that will include the participation of international experts and representatives of local communities and all the relevant entities and organizations, focused on the growing use of information and communications technologies by terrorist organizations and their affiliates, including social media and other media outlets, with the aim of spreading extremist terrorist ideology. One of the most important outcomes of the initiative would be the drafting of a comprehensive media plan to confront the misleading messages of terrorist organizations, as well as to raise awareness in local communities about terrorism.”

“We addressed the phenomenon of terrorist recruitment in the 2006 law against terrorism. We enhanced that law through efforts to deal with the issue of foreign terrorist fighters in a 2014 amendment. We also included the risk of the use of information and communications technology in terrorist recruitment and the spread of terrorist ideology. Thirdly, we have implemented a number of measures, including on border control, given the growing threat of terrorist organizations in neighbouring countries and a lack of regular uniformed army personnel along the northern borders of the Kingdom.”

“First, we have taken a number of pre-emptive and preventive measures to address the violent extremism that fuels terrorism. Those measures include security awareness and social measures that tackle issues in the political, economic and social dimensions, with the participation of all relevant national institutions and leaders. The role of Jordan is not limited to national perspectives, but goes beyond that to the international and regional levels. His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein has launched a number of initiatives, including the Message of Amman, the Message of Common Ground, and International Reconciliation Week, all of which call for moderation, tolerance and giving priority to the language of dialogue. Secondly, we have adopted a number of laws and national legislation that deal firmly with terrorism.”

“They should redouble their efforts and form in-depth partnerships with Member States in order to move towards providing tangible support to those States in capacity-building so that they would be able to meet their obligations. Jordan affirms the need to enhance regional and international cooperation to face this phenomenon. It is important to share information among the relevant entities in the region. Countries in the region should also undertake their responsibilities in terms of border control. Resolutions 2170 (2014) and 2178 (2014) are important in the framework of the international response to terrorism and foreign terrorist fighters. Even before the adoption of resolutions 2170 (2014) and 2178 (2014), Jordan had adopted a comprehensive national approach, organized around three main pillars, to dealing with such phenomena.”

“The crimes of humiliation and the mass summary executions perpetrated mercilessly by ISIL against hundreds of Bunimer tribespeople, which were recently condemned by the Council, are evidence of that, as if they are telling those who oppose them, "if you oppose us, we are entitled to spill your blood". Jordan is aware of the increasing global challenge of the phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters, compounding that of violent extremism and requiring pre-emptive and preventive security measures at the international and national levels. The relevant United Nations entities concerned with combating terrorism should act immediately and comprehensively.”

“Those terrorist organizations attempt to infiltrate our borders and send terrorism elements to perpetrate acts of sabotage in neighbouring countries. We should therefore be vigilant regarding the ideological threat of such organizations and others within and beyond their areas of their operation, as they spread their values and violent rhetoric. By exploiting all media outlets, they attract and recruit youth. Therefore, we should all face this threat through efforts to spread awareness, culture and education within local communities and, most importantly, among youth, and look into why they fall into the trap ofjoining terrorist organizations.”

“Al-Qaida and affiliated and splinter groups, including the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), are a major threat to international peace and security. The risk those groups pose to the Middle East in particular is an imminent threat, as they spread, gain strength and form alliances. They also control lands that are fertile and rich in resources. The ongoing conflicts in the region continue provide fertile grounds for terrorist organizations to gain strength. The lack of a comprehensive political solution in Syria has made that situation even worse. It will not be possible to put an end the threat of ISIL and others in Syria without a political transition in Syria. Jordan exerts tremendous efforts to control its borders and to counter the expansion of such groups.”

I thank also the Secretary-General for his statement and the Chairs of the Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011) concerning Al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities and the Counter-Terrorism Committee for their briefings.

“The elections reinforced Bosnians' nationalist orientations, but the results called for unity in creating a society that recognizes all nationalities and where they can recognize each other, without exclusion, in the common interest of full citizenship for all. The socioeconomic problems of the country after the war are growing following many major shocks to the economy, in particular the recent floods, all of which call for international assistance to help the country restore its economic fortunes. Indeed, the major problem is the failure to attract investment. The precarious situation and political inertia in Bosnia and Herzegovina represent both a threat and a danger. We call on the authorities to continue to promote broad participation in political life, taking into account the concerns of all minorities.”

“We therefore affirm the need to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The elections held in Bosnia and Herzegovina in October were a major step forward for the country. However, it will continue only if the winners in the elections demonstrate political resolve and unity to realize the hopes and aspirations of the voters who went to the polls following the protests earlier in the year in order to ensure a better future for themselves and the generations to come. The reaffirmation of political will by the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the polls represented a ray of hope.”

We note the recent efforts of those forces, for example in ensuring stability during the latest elections. That is why their presence is of the greatest importance for lasting peace and reassures the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Serious efforts on the part ofall members ofBosnian society to rebuild political and social coexistence and to pursue the path towards peace demonstrate civil society's ability to achieve stability and to raise their country through combined efforts, despite the tragic conflict experienced in the region. Furthermore, such efforts sound a warning to all who would seek illegal secession, which is a continuing source of concern to my country.”

We deplore the ongoing deterioration of the situation, especially regarding crucial major reforms on many issues vital to Bosnia's future. The reforms will take place only when the political actors decide to overcome their differences, and we call on them to do so. My delegation voted in favour of resolution 2183 (2014), renewing the mandate of the European Union-led peacekeeping force Operation Althea for another year.”

In conclusion, Jordan stresses its commitment to respecting the unity, territorial integrity, sovereignty and political independence of Libya. We are committed to comprehensive dialogue, the rejection ofviolence and supporting the political process. We call for providing full support to Libya's legitimate constitutional institutions as well as the immediate cessation of hostilities and all acts of violence on Libyan territory.

Jordan stresses its continued support for the International Criminal Court (ICC) based on our commitment to the Court's founding principles. The Court is a cornerstone in promoting criminal justice, ending impunity on behalf of the perpetrators of the most egregious crimes and in the maintenance of international peace and security and upholding the rule of law. As indicated in the Prosecutor's eighth report to the Council, Jordan appreciates the continuing consultations between the Libyan Government and the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICC.”

We believe the proposals to establish a follow-up mechanism on the referrals by the Security Council to the ICC also merits consideration and should be taken into account with a view to ending impunity and ensuring that all parties concerned are prepared to cooperate with the ICC.

“My delegation believes that expanding the mandate of the Office of the Ombudsperson to include other Sanctions Committees is a worthwhile proposal that should be seriously considered. However, in tackling the expansion of that mandate, we should first remove all obstacles that face the work of the Office and review the contractual status of the Ombudsperson and administrative measures that have to do with the work and autonomy of her Office. In that regard, we believe that the Security Council's efforts and those of the International Criminal Court (ICC) are aimed at preserving international peace and security - hence the importance of continuing close cooperation between the two entities.”

“The Council should also show more firmness and continue to exert pressure on the different parties to comply with the sanctions with a View to avoiding any further exacerbation of a given situation. Proceeding from that, our delegation has worked on raising awareness among all Member States of the importance ofproviding assistance to countries affected by sanctions and the need for countries' commitment in fulfilling their duties in accordance with the sanctions regime. The Office of the Ombudsperson has also contributed to enhancing transparency and justice in the implementation of sanctions regimes, in particular those against Al-Qaida, and that has enhanced credibility.”
