  1. “Building and maintaining trust among public, private and non-governmental organizations is the bedrock upon which we must take that fight forward. To conclude, let me once again thank you, Madam President, for the opportunity to speak here today and to underline Ireland's firm commitment to counter terrorist financing in all its forms and our readiness to actively contribute to United Nations efforts in this area.”

  2. “Aside from our enhanced communication, concrete steps must also be taken to ensure transparency and clarity around the ownership of legal companies, trusts and organizations. Obscuring ownership allows for easy manipulation of the system and is an open door for the channelling of funds around the world for terrorist means. Importantly, we also believe that counter-terrorism measures should never undermine our obligations under international law, including human rights and international humanitarian law. Ireland acknowledges and welcomes the significant impact that civil society participation can have in countering the financing of terror and we encourage further efforts to strengthen that partnership.”

  3. “Ireland also participates actively at the international level in developing the most effective and appropriate standards to apply in countering the financing of terrorism, including at the Financial Action Task Force plenaries. As co-creators ofthe Task Force standards, we are not only actively improving our domestic Financial Action Task Force framework but we have also been at the forefront in developing international standards. Ireland is also an active participant in the European Union's work to combat the financing of terrorism. We believe that our efforts to dismantle the transnational and borderless financial mechanisms used by terrorists should include appropriate sharing of information across sectors and across borders.”

  4. “As a candidate for a non-permanent seat on the Security Council for the 2021-2022 term, Ireland believes that the Council has a central role to play in preventing and countering the financing of terrorism. We therefore welcome resolution 2462 (2019), adopted today, which represents another important step in that evolving fight. Ireland's response to the issue of money laundering and terrorist financing is multifaceted and brings together a range of Government departments and agencies, including the Central Bank of Ireland, the Irish police force, our Criminal Assets Bureau and the Irish Revenue Commissioners. That coordinated approach is key to effectively tackling money laundering and terrorist financing in Ireland.”

  5. “We now need to work together internationally to ensure that its recommendations are applied. As others have said, the financing of terrorism is a complex and evolving phenomenon. Money launderers exploit complicated financial structures to mask their funding sources and avoid punitive sanctions regimes. Given the borderless nature of the threat, Ireland strongly believes that multilateral engagement and collaboration are critical if we are to effectively counter the financing of global terrorism. That is why we see a central role for the United Nations in leading the coordinated and inclusive response ofMember States to the financing ofterrorism. We need to continue to make a concerted effort to increase the visibility and effectiveness of United Nations counter-terrorism activities.”

  6. “Let me begin by thanking Minister Le Drian for chairing this important debate on preventing and combating the financing of terrorism. Nearly one year ago, Ireland was one of the 70 States that convened in Paris for the high-level International Conference on Combating the Financing of Da'esh and Al-Qaida, on the theme "No money for terror". I thank France for its continued leadership in that critical area. I would also like to acknowledge the leadership of the Financial Action Task Force and to thank Mr. Billingslea for the challenging but important work that his organization is undertaking. The Task Force recommendations have become the global standard for countering money laundering and terrorist financing. Its evolution into a committed public and political tool is welcome.”
