  1. “In conclusion, Denmark is firmly resolved to counter the threat of ISIL. Our common approach must be both comprehensive and holistic. We know that this will require patience and stamina. We will need to see greater collaboration and greater coordination among key actors in the region. In other words, countries will need to be prepared to overcome their individual differences and rivalries. They will instead need to seek common ground Where there are common interests to be found.”

  2. “First, the world must recognize that ISIL is a regional and global threat to our collective peace and security. As such, success will require us to forge a broad and deep alliance that can effectively neutralize that heinous and totalitarian terrorist organization. Secondly, the international community must be steadfast in its support to moderate forces, not only in Iraq but also in neighbouring countries, especially of course in Syria, where the long-term goal of peace must still be sought. We must aid groups willing to counter the influence of ISIL and instead present a more inclusive and peaceful vision for the future of their societies. Thirdly, we must ensure that our unity of purpose persists. We must remain united in our support to Iraq's Government and show the commitment required to deal with this challenge.”

  3. “We will maintain a close dialogue with the Iraqi Government, the United States and other partners in the coalition to jointly consider the optimal contributions Denmark can make to the ongoing efforts, be they humanitarian, diplomatic, political or military. We also find it essential for all States Members of the United Nations to share best practices and lessons learned on how to most efficiently prevent radicalization and groups like ISIL from emerging. The Danish Foreign Minister, together with the Foreign Minister of Mali, will therefore co-host an event here in New York on Tuesday, 23 September, to advance that common agenda. To achieve our goal of disabling and dismantling the threat posed by ISIL, we will need to craft a response that recognizes at least three principles.”

  4. “A Danish military transport aircraft and a logistical team have assisted the forces combating ISIL in Iraq through airlifting military equipment. On the humanitarian side, so far in 2014 Denmark has provided assistance totalling $50 million to internally displaced persons in Syria and Iraq. Politically, we have engaged with the Iraqi Government, with members of the core coalition and other partners in the region and beyond to shape a common strategy to combat ISIL. However,asrequestedbytheUnited States delegation at the beginning of this meeting, Denmark stands ready to do even more. We plan to increase our humanitarian assistance to the region. We want to establish a strong partnership with the Iraqi Government to launch long- term stabilization and development projects that help eliminate the root causes of radicalization.”

  5. “It is an organization that has managed to amass hundreds of millions of dollars through kidnappings, robberies and illegal oil sales, but it is also an organization that will not be allowed to achieve its goals if we, the international community, all stand united. Like many previous speakers today, Denmark welcomes the recent formation of a new inclusive Government in Baghdad, committed to empowering marginalized groups in the country. Good governance will be absolutely essential to meet that end, as well as to overcome the pervasive sense of distrust and discontent that ISIL has been able to prey upon. Denmark is committed to supporting Iraq and assisting its Government in its fight against ISIL. We have already provided political, military and humanitarian assistance.”

  6. “I thank you, Madam President, for this opportunity to participate in this important debate on the situation in Iraq, as well as on the violent extremist forces affecting the wider region and, indeed, the international community as a whole. Denmark stands ready to join the Members of the United Nations in collectively confronting the growth of extremism embodied in the brutal shape of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), an organization that is fundamentally opposed to the values and principles at the core of the United Nations. ISIL is an organization that, in the most brutal way, now controls large areas of Iraq and Syria and has the ambition to go even farther.”
