  3. “However, while seeking to safeguard the most vulnerable parts of our critical infrastructure from terrorist attacks, we should never forget that it is the lives of our citizens that are at stake, which we, as States, are obliged to protect. Therefore, it is our duty to do everything possible to prevent terrorist attacks on critical infrastructure. The well-being of our peoples depends on it. That is the main objective of resolution 2341 (2017), adopted today. Forearmed is forewarned. I count on members' further cooperation on this matter. I resume my functions as President of the Council. I shall now give the floor to other members of the Security Council.”

  4. “Apart from the factors I just listed, a coherent system aimed at averting the terrorist threat to critical infrastructure should prioritize active international cooperation, which would include, inter alia, an exchange of best practices and the holding of joint training sessions and investigations. Such international cooperation has gained paramount importance given the development of global cross-border infrastructure projects. Terrorist attacks against those projects may affect the interests ofseveral States and cause significant damage, both economic and environmental. In that context, our goal must be to intensify cooperation at the national, regional and international levels, and to establish early-warning and rapid-response mechanisms in order to react better to possible terrorist attacks.”

  5. “The first element is cooperation among all stakeholders, both public and private, involved in the process of operating and protecting critical infrastructure. The second element is the open exchange of information about threats and risks to critical infrastructure among public authorities, the private sector, communities and individual citizens. The third element is to increase the level of self- protection, mutual assistance and self-empowerment of individuals and organizations that can be adversely impacted by the termination or impairment of critical infrastructure services.”

  6. “On 6 December 2016, on the eve of the end of the financial year, the websites of the State Treasury, the Ministry of Finance and the State Pension Fund were temporarily paralysed . Of course, we know that the objective of such attacks is to damage Ukraine's financial system, weaken our defence capabilities and eventually destabilize Ukrainian society. It is quite obvious that Ukraine has been deliberately selected as a target by organized external cyberterrorists. Their attacks can be as devastating as more conventional warfare. We have been hurt, but we have grown more resilient as a result of the attacks. In today's dynamic and globalized world, we are of the view that the following elements should be incorporated into national policies in order to maintain an adequate level of safety and resilience for critical infrastructure.”

  7. “In view of the existing challenges to international peace and security, especially the evolution of terrorist threats, Ukraine has been working to develop a national legal framework for the protection of critical infrastructure against such threats. Taking into account a series of terrorist attacks in recent years against facilities in Ukraine, that work has become particularly important. Since 2015, several Ukrainian governmental agencies, as well as critical national infrastructure, such as regional power grids and financial institutions, have become the targets of attacks by malicious software. Hacker groups have also attacked the Kyiv airport and the Ministry of Defence's electronic resources.”

  8. “The resolution sends a strong message from the Security Council to the international community to give serious consideration to the issue. It also outlines a specific framework of objectives and actions aimed at raising awareness of possible terrorist threats to critical infrastructure. It does so by identifying the threats and preventing them, as well as by seeking to alleviate their possible consequences. As part of their essential counter-terrorism efforts, it is crucial for States to develop and put in place a strategy that assigns the relevant tasks and responsibilities regarding the protection of critical infrastructure from terrorist attacks. The primary goals should be to counter such attacks and prevent their repetition by identifying the perpetrators and their supporters, as well as to provide support to victims of terrorism.”

  9. “I thank Mr. Heinonen for his briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. I would like to thank today's briefers for their inputs into our discussion. Once again, they reconfirmed the complexity and importance of the problem in question.

I would also like to express my appreciation to all Security Council members for their support during the process of preparing the text of resolution 2341 (2017), which was adopted today.”
