  2. I wish to remind speakers to limit their statements to no more than four minutes maximum in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously. Delegations with lengthy statements are kindly requested to circulate their texts in writing and to deliver a condensed version when speaking in the Chamber. I wish also to inform all concerned that we will be carrying on this open debate right through the lunch hour, as we have a very large number of speakers. I now give the floor to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan.

  3. Lastly, I welcome the balance struck in the text between our objective of better combating the financing of terrorism and the ability of humanitarian actors to carry out their mission in proper conditions, without hindrance to their activities. I resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the other members of the Council who wish to make statements.

  4. In that regard, I would like to thank its President, Marshall Billingslea, for being here with us this morning. I also call on the United Nations, in particular the Office of Counter-Terrorism and the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, the work of which is so important, particularly in providing countries in need with the necessary technical assistance to develop their capacity to combat terrorist financing. I especially welcome the remarks made by Mr. Voronkov, Under- Secretary-General of the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism, and assure him of France's full support. We further call on the private sector, whose involvement and participation in the fight against terrorist financing are more essential than ever.

  5. Such a partnership, by involving all the actors concerned - States, the private sector, multilateral institutions and civil society - is the only one capable of providing an adequate response to the challenge. I would like to appeal to all members of this partnership to take up the resolution we have just adopted and commit themselves to implementing it in all its aspects. In particular, I call on States to fight, through their legal systems, against the individuals, groups and entities that finance terrorism; strengthen their cooperation and commitment to assist the countries that need help the most in this fight; and implement the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force, whose role in creating norms and standards in the fight against terrorist financing is recognized by the resolution.

  6. That is also the ambition that led us to bring the issue to the Council by proposing the adoption of a reference doctrine to guide the international community's action in the fight against financing terrorism. The adoption of a Security Council resolution is a strong political act. We thank all our Security Council partners for their active contribution to the negotiations. However, the adoption of a resolution is not an end in itself. It is the beginning of the process of implementation, which must mobilize us just as much and in which we must demonstrate that we are equal to our responsibilities. In the face of the protean and constantly changing threat I described a few moments ago, we need to build the broadest possible partnership.

  7. The challenge is great. Our determination must be just as strong so that we do not leave out any aspect of the fight against financing terrorism. This is the ambition that led France to organize the high-level International Conference on Combating the Financing of Da'esh and Al-Qaida, held in Paris last year on the theme "No money for terror", and to promote the adoption of an ambitious agenda and the formation of the Paris coalition against financing terrorism. That will also be Australia's ambition, which will follow in the footsteps of France and bring together the Paris coalition in Melbourne in November 2019. In that regard, I warmly thank the representative of Australia.

  8. As I said a moment ago, we must deal with the root causes of the problem and intensify our efforts to isolate terrorists by drying up their sources of funding. Because, in this area too, our enemies have confirmed their formidable capacity to adapt. They have long been able to direct trafficking, banditry and even some conventional economic flows to their benefit. Today, driven out of their territories, they have learned to invest in the new virtual financial spaces, Where they exploit the possibilities offered by new technologies. Terror networks know how to raise funds by opening online jackpot accounts. They do not hesitate to pervert the practice of hawala to transfer funds to the other side of the world. They are learning to transform their resources into cryptocurrency in order to acquire drones in cyberspace.

  9. While we have prevented them from crossing borders, they are using cyberspace to remotely direct or inspire, at the very heart of our societies, the architects of their criminal projects. As Governments, our first responsibility is to ensure the safety of our fellow citizens. We are therefore obliged to persist in our fight against terrorism, while anticipating every shift in the threat we face and adapting our response accordingly. Our enemies seek to relocate in new territorial franchises - we will fight them. They wish to contaminate our youth with their deadly ideology - we will protect our societies. They wish to project fighters, publicize their ideas, transfer funds 4 we will isolate them.

  10. I would like to pay a warm tribute here to those - first and foremost the Iraqi security forces and the Syrian democratic forces - who fought Da'esh and recovered from the so-called Caliphate all the territory it had conquered in 2014. They have defended and continue to defend our security and our model of collective existence. Yet the biggest mistake would be to believe that terrorism is defeated once its territorial claims have been destroyed. Al-Qaida and Da'esh, even if they are in retreat, have not disappeared. On the contrary, they are adapting. If we have driven them out of the territories in which they had settled, they are reorganizing themselves into clandestine networks.

  11. I thank Ms. Buku for her statement. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France. I would like to thank the briefers for their very informative statements. The Charter of the United Nations, which entrusts the Council with the responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, has for many years driven it to devote regular attention to all aspects of the fight against terrorism. Indeed, it is the objective of a concerted, coherent and effective fight against terrorism that brings us together today to adopt resolution 2462 (2019) on the fight against new modalities for financing terrorism. For many years, we have been acting decisively in the face of the terrorist threat by confronting our enemies directly on the ground.
