  1. “As the host of the Seoul Conference on Cyberspace 2013, which is to be held on 17 and 18 October, the Republic of Korea will scale up its efforts to address the new trend of exploiting information technology to incite, recruit, and finance terrorist activities and spread extremism. As Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stressed, terrorism has no nationality or religious affiliation and respects no borders. Our response, too, should reflect the amorphous and ubiquitous nature of terrorism today. As a Security Council member, the Republic of Korea will play its due part in promoting the Council's work to combat terrorism in Africa and beyond.”

  2. “As the Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), the Republic of Korea will seek ways to mobilize relevant international assistance for African States within the Committee's mandate. We will also work together with the other counter-terrorism committees - namely, the Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011) concerning Al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities, and the Counter-Terrorism Committee - to develop assistance packages to bolster African efforts to curb terrorism. Thirdly, adapting to the terrorist threat in the digital age is essential. Taking advantage of the high connectivity made available by information technology, home-grown terrorists are learning to make bombs through the Internet and high-profile terrorists are recruiting members on Twitter.”

  3. “Keenly mindful of such developments, the Republic of Korea has been actively participating in global efforts to prevent and combat terrorism in Africa. First, Korea is playing an active role in addressing the origins of terrorism, and seeks the socioeconomic development of its African partners through a variety of cooperative programmes. My Government has formulated an Action Plan for the Third Korea-Africa Forum for 2013-2015, which includes a whole range of assistance including human resource development. Secondly, preventing the use of weapons of mass destruction for terrorism is another important task for the international community.”

  4. “In collaborating with the Financial Action Task Force, the role of GIABA is crucial in fostering closer military and intelligence cooperation among the countries of the region. These efforts require full ownership of the countries concerned in establishing good governance and promoting economic reforms, while designing and implementing a comprehensive counter-terrorism strategy. In this regard, the Republic of Korea commends the work done by the African Union in adopting its Convention on the Prevention and Combating of Terrorism of 1999, establishing the African Centre for Studies and Research on Terrorism based on its 2002 Plan of Action, and appointing its Special Representative for Counter-Terrorism Cooperation in October 2010.”

  5. “The Republic of Korea believes that efforts to prevent and combat terrorism will become much more effective with the adoption of a comprehensive approach. In this regard, we support the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, which focuses on addressing each component of terrorism: terrorists, weapons, funding and networks. The natural starting point is to tackle socioeconomic and environmental conditions, with a focus on youth and education. In this context, the Republic of Korea strongly supports the Secretary-General's global Education First Initiative. Human rights and the rule of law should be at the heart of global efforts to address the issue of terrorism. Defending porous borders to deter the illicit flows of weapons in Africa is another important task, as is the prevention and interdiction of terrorist financing.”

  6. “I would like to begin by expressing my appreciation to you, Sir, for convening today's timely debate on the challenges faced in the fight against terrorism in Africa. I would also like to thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for his comprehensive briefing, and Mr. Abdullahi Shehu of the Intergovernmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA) for his informative briefing. Despite the concerted efforts of the international community over the past decade, terrorism remains a serious threat to peace and security in the Maghreb and the Sahel. If unchecked, the formation of the so- called arc of instability from Mali to Somalia may soon become irreversible, and transform the entire African continent into a breeding ground for extremists and a launchpad for larger-scale terrorist attacks around the world.”
