  1. “Following the adoption of resolution 2199 (2015) by the Council, we have undertaken a number of measures and steps aimed at combating trafficking in antiquities. Those measures form part of the efforts we have undertaken to combat the financing of terrorism, since we know that trafficking in antiquities is the second most important source of funding for terrorist organizations. The atrocities committed by terrorist organizations, including Daesh, clearly demonstrate that the terrorists want to prevent us from living in peaceful coexistence. The fight against terrorism is therefore truly a global one. Combating Daesh and similar organizations requires a global approach based on three axes - the military, security and ideological. I would like to reiterate the importance of weakening Daesh, especially at the financial level.”

  2. “Our national authorities have also undertaken practical measures at all crossing and border points so as to prevent the entry of oil shipments from areas controlled by Daesh or the entry of any stolen goods or antiquities. Those two forms of trafficking are the main sources of financing for terrorist organizations in both Syria and Iraq. We have also raised the level of awareness and vigilance in the financial and currency sectors. We have taken measures to ensure that both the public and private banking sectors prevent Daesh, as well as any other terrorist organization, from accessing the Jordanian or international financial system. The new law on currency exchange is being studied so as to ensure that it is in keeping with the provisions of our Constitution.”

  3. “I would like to share with the Council some of the measures we have undertaken in Jordan in that regard. Jordanian parliamentarians have taken note of the expansion of terrorist groups in the region. We have strengthened our legislation so as to take that new reality into account. We have criminalized any acts involving the financing of terrorism or the lending of support to terrorist organizations. Any individual who provides financing to those preparing or committing an attack will be brought tojustice, pursuant to the updated law on the suppression of the financing of terrorism of 1994, as well as the 2010 law on money-laundering.”

  4. “Countries must also live up to their commitments and must ensure that their citizens and residents do not support terrorist organizations financially. All sanctions committees must include on their sanctions lists any individuals guilty of such actions, and we must also ensure that individuals included on either national or United Nations sanctions lists have no access to the financial system, in accordance with all the relevant resolutions. Donor countries, as well as their partners and the relevant United Nations agencies, must provide assistance to States so as to strengthen their capacities and capabilities in the fight against terrorism, including strengthening their public and private banking sectors. Individuals guilty of the crimes at issue here must be brought to justice or extradited to States with jurisdiction.”

  5. “Terrorist organizations thrive on the illicit trafficking in oil, natural resources and antiquities and the seizing of hostages for ransom, not to mention the taxes they impose on the population and the exploitation, to put it baldly, of innocent citizens. The lack of international cooperation and cooperation at the regional level has contributed to the success of those terrorist organizations. With respect to the fight against the financing of terrorism, my country would like to stress several important points. We need to bolster the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism. All countries must adhere to that Convention, which focuses specifically on the financing of terrorism and strengthens judicial cooperation among States.”

  6. “That is a point that we stressed during the negotiations, because it is in keeping with today's reality and shows that the international community is determined to face the international threat posed by Daesh. Jordan has always stressed the importance of the fight to combat the financing of terrorism and cut off its sources. That is one of the pillars and prerequisites when it comes to any efforts aimed at combating terrorism. It behooves me to say here that the fight against the financing of terrorism, including the financing of Daesh, cannot rest on the shoulders of a single country or a single independent institution. The multifaceted sources of that financing mean that we need to strengthen cooperation among national institutions and among institutions at the regional and international levels.”

  7. “I would also like to thank the Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, for his statement, and I would like to thank Mr. Je-Yoon Shin for his briefing. We fully support the efforts of the Financial Action Task Force, as well as its close cooperation with all States within the framework of the fight against terrorism. The resolution we have just adopted is a watershed, given its specificity and its major thrust. It updates the sanctions regime, which will now be known as the sanctions regime against Al-Qaida and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. It expands the criteria for listing on the sanctions list to ensure that they include activities that demonstrate a link between individuals and entities tied to Daesh, so that those criteria are not limited solely to links with Al-Qaida.”

  8. “Mr. Malhas (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): First and foremost, allow me to thank the United States Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Jacob Lew, for presiding over this very important meeting. My country appreciates the efforts ofthe United States of America, which have led to the convening of this meeting, the very first in the history of the Security Council. We too are gratified by the adoption by consensus of resolution 2253 (2015), at a time when many terrorist attacks have been carried out throughout the world, killing innocent people and exacerbating humanitarian crises - attacks that, as we all know, disregard all precepts of morality and humanity. I would like to thank the lead delegations of the resolution, namely, the delegations of the Russian Federation and the United States of America, for their efforts.”
