  1. “We have also reaffirmed our commitment to using the measures contained in today's resolution and the tools that we have honed over the past 14 years to make the world safer from ISIL and other deadly terrorist groups. We must remain united as we move forward to execute our task with the same determination with which we have spoken today in the adoption of the resolution. That is the only way we will be effective in combating the threat of terrorism. I thank the Secretary-General and I thank Ambassador Power for organizing the meeting. The meeting rose at 5.25 pm.”

  2. “I thank the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation for his statement and offer condolences for the lives lost in the terrorist attack on a civilian flight carrying so many holiday travelers. There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. Before adjourning the meeting, I would like to make a few closing remarks. This has been an unprecedented meeting, as well as a constructive and productive one. We have adopted resolution 2253 (2015), which will help us protect the international financial system from abuse and exploitation by terrorists, and we have reviewed our work to counter the financing of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).”

As we look around the table, there are too many reminders of how important this work truly is. I now give the floor to the representative of China.”

  8. “The enhanced sanctions regime under the newly adopted resolution and the robust implementation of the resolution and other counter-terror-financing measures will help us meet the terrorism threat, whether from ISIL or others like Al-Qaida, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, Hizbullah, the Al-Nusra Front or new individuals and groups. Once again, I thank the many participants who have come here for travelling to take part in this historic meeting and for their support of this important resolution and this broader long-term effort. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the Minister for Finance of Jordan.”

  9. “Even as we continue that important work, we must also remain steadfast in our commitment to both protect the stability of the international financial system and expand financial inclusion, so that the benefits of global growth are broadly shared. Those two objectives - protecting the financial system from illicit activity while increasing access to financial services - are complementary, not conflicting, as we know that financial exclusion undermines the integrity of the entire financial sector and that inclusion creates stakeholders around the world committed to positive change. In conclusion, our joint work on counter-terrorism financing over the past 14 years has taught us that we can meet the long-term evolving terror challenge, but we must keep adapting, and we must stay focused to do so.”

  10. “That type of coordination is ongoing and essential, and we must combine it with a relentless desire to adapt and change our tools as the terror groups adapt to our measures. The nations of the world standing together and acting together represent a more powerful force than our individual actions alone. We must also work through other multilateral organizations. Last week, the Financial Action Task Force held a meeting on investigating and prosecuting terrorist financiers and implemented targeted financial sanctions. The Counter- ISIL Finance Group, which is co-led by the United States, Italy and Saudi Arabia, is focused, among others things, on expanding information-sharing in combating the financing of ISIL affiliates.”

  11. “Resolution 2253 (2015) is a critical step, but the real test will be determined by the actions that we each take after adoption. We need meaningful implementation, coordination and enforcement from each country represented here and from many others. As we have all learned in our work to counter Al-Qaida, ISIL and other groups to date, the successful use of those counter-terror-financing tools requires robust domestic implementation, extensive collaboration with private partners, intense multilateral coordination and information-sharing. The importance ofthatcoordinationwas exemplified this year when we at the United States Treasury worked with our French and European counterparts in real time to provide over 1,300 leads immediately following the horrific Paris attacks in January and November.”

  12. “It expands the focus of resolution 1267 (1999), concerning the Al-Qaida sanctions, to specifically emphasize ISIL in the designation criteria, making association with ISIL grounds for targeted sanctions. It calls on Member States to ensure they have the legal tools to criminalize the financing of individual terrorists and terrorist organizations for any purpose - recruiting, training, travel and other activities - even in the absence of a link to a specific terrorist act. It calls upon Member States to increase engagement with the private sector to prevent the terrorists' use ofthe financial system, and it encourages Governments to better share information internally and among nations so as to avoid missing critical information about terrorist activities.”

  13. “To sever ISIL from the international financial system, the United States is working with its partners to actively target ISIL's key financial facilitators, sanctioning more than 30 of its senior leaders and financiers. United States officials have worked with the Government of Iraq to deny ISIL access to the Iraqi financial system and, in collaboration with law enforcement and foreign partners, United States officials have worked with financial institutions to strengthen their ability to detect activity associated with ISIL supporters. While we are making progress to financially isolate ISIL, if we are to succeed we must all intensify our efforts, on our own and together at an international level. Today, we adopted a new Security Council resolution that builds on previous measures and strengthens our existing tools.”

  14. “In order to sustain its oil infrastructure and its military efforts, ISIL needs access to the international financial system. Those dependencies present opportunities for attack. To cut off ISIL's resources and funding streams, most important the revenue from its oil sales, the United States military has been working with coalition partners to attack ISIL's entire oil supply chain, its oil fields, refineries and its tanker trucks. Over the past month, nearly 400 of ISIL's oil tanker trucks have been destroyed. While those attacks are having a real and growing impact, the United States and the international community must also work with countries bordering Iraq and Syria to enhance border security and help stop illicit cross-border flows.”

  15. “Unlike other terror groups, ISIL derives a relatively small share of its funding from donors abroad. Instead, ISIL generates wealth from economic activities and resources within the territory under its control. And ISIL's financing has evolved from seizing territory and looting bank vaults to leveraging more renewable revenue streams. So far, ISIL has reaped an estimated $500 million from black-market oil and millions more from people whom it brutalizes and extorts. At the same time, ISIL has financial vulnerabilities, and the United States approach has evolved as well so as to attack those vulnerabilities. ISIL's newer financing methods are now targets. Because of its need to control territory, ISIL requires large and renewable streams of income to pay fighters, procure weapons and provide basic services to local populations.”

  16. “Since it emerged, ISIL has terrorized the people of Iraq and Syria, Paris and elsewhere with its attacks, and killed and wounded people from many nations and religions. Our Governments, in coordination with the United Nations and other multilateral organizations, have been countering ISIL for some time. But we all know that we need to do more together to degrade and destroy that brutal force of terror. Since 2014 the United States has been working to destroy ISIL by drawing upon every aspect ofAmerican power, as President Obama made clear again last week. A critical part of the entire United States Government strategy is the use of counter-terrorism-financing tools and authorities to stop ISIL's operations by isolating it financially and economically. As many here know, ISIL is a challenging financial target.”

  17. “We have uncovered and cut off channel after channel of support to Al-Qaida, leaving its branches hungry for funding and less capable of plotting and carrying out attacks. We have also improved our ability to deploy those tools in effective and sophisticated ways against other illicit financial threats, most notably in our successful multilateral effort to bring Iran to the negotiating table in connection with its nuclear programme. But we have also seen the terror threats evolve in dangerous ways. Different tactics, like lone wolf attacks and shootings, are examples we have seen on American soil. New groups have emerged with innovative messaging, recruiting, military and financing strategies. ISIL is the most dangerous manifestation of that new threat.”

  18. “After the 11 September attacks, the United States and our international partners vowed to counter terrorism with every tool at our disposal. Early on, we recognized the need to target the financial resources of terrorism networks and to deprive them of the funds they need to recruit, train, travel, equip, attack and murder. Since that time, we have greatly strengthened the transparency and resilience of the international financial system and developed tools to track and disrupt channels of terrorism-funding. The impact is real. Regulators and financial institutions alike are far more sophisticated and attuned to the threat of terror- financing, and have made it harder for terror groups like Al-Qaida and Hizbullah to place and move funds. Our financial system is more transparent, resilient and stronger as a result.”

  19. “And I would like to thank Ambassador Power for her work in organizing today's meeting and finalizing the resolution we have just adopted, which will help us protect the international financial system from abuse and exploitation by terrorists. For coming here to signal our collective resolve, I would like to thank all of those in the Chamber, so many of whom travelled long distances to be at this meeting. I would like to reaffirm the continued commitment of the United States of America to cutting ISIL off from economic resources and the international financial system, and to working with the international community to use the measures in today's resolution 2253 (2015) and the tools we have honed over the past 14 years to make the world safer and better protected from ISIL and other deadly terrorist groups.”

  20. “Today's unprecedented meeting underscores the importance of combating the financing of terrorism, the dedication of the international community to destroying the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and the critical role of finance ministries and the broader international financial community in this fight. I would like to thank His Excellency Secretary- General Ban Ki-moon for his leadership and the commitment of the United Nations to this important effort. I also thank President Je-Yoon Shin of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) for travelling all this way and for all that the FATF is doing to counter terrorism threats.”
