  1. “The suppliers of weapons and other sponsors and masterminds of terrorist activities should bear no lesser responsibility than those who perpetrate crimes on the ground.”

  2. “Today, we adopted a document that clearly defines the scope of States' obligations with regard to eliminating the supply of weapons to terrorists. Having unanimously backed today's Security Council resolution, all countries around this table undertook to respect the obligation not to support and supply terrorists with weapons. We expect that all countries, first and foremost, those that voted for today's resolution, will remain faithful to both the letter and spirit of the relevant norms of international law. In conclusion, I would like to emphasize the importance of bringing to justice those who knowingly engage in providing terrorists with weapons, funds and other types of assets.”

  3. “One of the most telling cases of our times is the continuing flooding of the occupied territories in eastern Ukraine with all kinds of weapon systems, all coming from the neighbouring State. Over 400 battle tanks, 840 armoured personnel vehicles, 200 multiple-launch rocket systems, 730 artillery systems and 400 air-defence units have been provided to terrorist organizations operating there. Those deadly supplies have been used to conduct devastating terrorist attacks, including, for example, the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH-l7. The rhetorical question is, how did the terrorist organizations in Ukraine get weapons that surpass the armament stocks of many European States, or why do the terrorists not run out of munitions?”

  4. “In that regard, we consider the United Nations Programme of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons, the International Tracing Instrument and the Arms Trade Treaty as important tools that can significantly contribute to that process and pave the way for resolving the problem of illicit trafficking in weapons in all its aspects, reduce the scale of terrorist violence and subsequently end the spread of this scourge worldwide. The international regime that seeks to curb arms supplies to terrorists runs into a problem when States that are supposed to uphold that regime turn out to be in breach of their international obligations and commitments in that regard.”

  5. “To prevent them from acquiring such weapons, strict measures must be implemented at the national level to strengthen export and border controls, in particular regulations on the transfer of weapons and other sensitive military equipment or materiel, and to bolster financial intelligence cooperation. That relates, inter alia, to ensuring the protection and security of national stockpiles; addressing illicit brokering activities; the thorough checking of end- users' backgrounds; tracing trade routes for weapons and identifying countries known as transshipment points for terrorist organizations; enhancing border security; and tracking suspicious money transfers.”

  6. “Today, the persistence of the terrorist threat makes it imperative to strengthen existing mechanisms for the sake of prohibiting the acquisition, production, storage, transfer and use of weapons by terrorist groups. In that context, we consider today's resolution 2370 (2017), which introduces a multifaceted approach linking two dimensions, namely, counter-terrorism and arms control, to be an important step in that direction. Although today's resolution focuses mainly on small arms and light weapons as a primary tool used by terrorists in various regions of the world, there are also alarming signs that even more sophisticated weapons are within the reach of determined terrorist groups.”

  7. “At the outset, I would like to join others in congratulating Egypt on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of July. I thank the delegation of Egypt for convening today's meeting and also thank the briefers for their insightful inputs for our discussion. So far this year we have witnessed a rather effective international campaign aimed at dismantling the core of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant in the Middle East and at weakening its presence in other parts of the world, mainly through resolute military efforts on the ground. However, that could not have been achieved without depriving terrorists of their sources of financing and especially weapons supplies. Significant progress on that track has been made in Iraq, Syria and in certain parts of Africa.”

  8. “In that respect, the 29 March issue of the reputable German magazine Bild highlighted that the Russian side had established an inter-ministerial commission for humanitarian support of the affected areas in the south-east areas of Donetsk and Luhansk. Through that commission and its six working groups, the Russian Government is steering all affairs of the mentioned occupied areas. The said regions are being treated as parts of Russian territory, and the Russian Federal Security Service supervises each working group. Despite statements issued by the Russian Federation on the future integration of those regions with Ukraine, the Russian side plans to secure the long-term existence of those territorial organizations under full Russian control. It also plans to create a puppet State whose future will be decided exclusively in Moscow.”

  9. “When we speak about the support that Russia is providing to terrorist organizations, that involves not only the financing of information campaigns aimed at cultivating hatred, resentment and radicalism, but also the fostering of terrorist propaganda in the occupied territories of Ukraine, the Donbas and Crimea. It also involves direct governance, military support and the supervision of terrorist activities. I wouldjust mention the situation in certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, which the pro-Russian propaganda refers to the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republic as "new Russia".”

  10. “In its right to reply, the delegation of Ukraine would like to raise the following points. We are deeply disappointed that, instead of finally confessing to committing aggression against my country, the Russian delegation has resorted to repeating false insinuations that do not convince anybody. What we have just witnessed is nothing but just another Russian attempt to divert our attention from its efforts to export terrorism to Ukraine. It represented a classic smear scenario employed by experienced criminals to shift blame and shield themselves from prosecution.”
