“We believe that in addition to the naval operations, the development of rule of law and security institutions in Somalia, improvement in livelihoods and education are important factors for the durable eradication of piracy off the coast of Somalia.

“Austria attaches great importance to full respect for all applicable norms of international law, in particular international human rights law, including the right to a fair trial and non-refoulement. We welcome the fact that the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) contributes to countering maritime piracy in the Horn of Africa through a programme to increase regional capacities to deter, arrest, prosecute and detain pirates. As the Secretary-General noted in his report (S/2009/590), the prosecution of suspected pirates apprehended off the coast of Somalia is a burden for regional States, especially Kenya and the Seychelles. In that regard, we welcome the Contact Group's establishment of the international trust fund, administered by the UNODC.”

“The European Union Naval Force Operation Atalanta aims to combat piracy off the coast of Somalia, with the primary goal of protecting vessels of the World Food Programme delivering food aid. We would also like to commend the naval engagement of other States and organizations cooperating in the fight against piracy in the framework of the international Contact Group. The implementation of the pertinent international legal regime - particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the 1988 Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation - presents considerable challenges for States parties to those conventions in the region.”

“My delegation agrees with previous speakers that piracy and armed robbery in the Gulf of Aden are directly linked to the lack of stability and the disastrous economic situation in Somalia. At the same time, piracy contributes to the deterioration of the security situation and may play a role in financing embargo violations. As some merchant vessels are choosing different routes, piracy also hurts the economic situation of the region. Moreover, it negatively affects the delivery of much-needed aid to Somalia. Austria expresses its deep concern about the continuing deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Somalia and its dire consequences for the civilian population, in particular women and children.”

At the outset, I would like to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Ould Abdallah, for his presentation and for his work in Somalia, as well as the efforts of the entire United Nations family in these very difficult circumstances - including, in particular, the International Maritime Organization and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. I would also like to welcome the presence of His Excellency the Permanent Representative of Somalia. Austria aligns itself with the statement to be delivered later in this meeting by Sweden on behalf of the European Union. Allow me to add a few additional points.”

The full implementation of resolution 1822 (2008) constitutes an important stage of the Committee's work, and I believe that the current review process will also induce the Committee members to look at existing procedures and practices in a new light and to consider further steps towards both improving due process and strengthening the regime. It is essential to continue to improve the Committee's procedures in order to make the 1267 sanctions regime a stronger and more effective tool.”

Since I last briefed the Council, the review of the consolidated list pursuant to resolution 1822 (2008) has begun to bear fruit: not only, as I said, have eight names been removed from the list as a direct result of the review, but the review has also led to the improvement of the quality of a number of entries remaining on the list.”

“The conference was attended by more than 100 representatives from Member States and representatives of about 40 national and international organizations, and it provided a useful opportunity to increase awareness about the work of the Committee. I would also like to take this opportunity to reiterate that the Committee welcomes the Security Council's encouragement, set forth in paragraph 30 of resolution 1822 (2008), for Member States to send representatives to meet the Committee for more in- depth discussion of relevant issues or for voluntary briefings on their efforts to implement the sanctions measures. The Committee is ready to listen to ideas and concerns and looks forward to continuing its cooperation and dialogue with all Member States.”

“In June 2009, upon invitation by the Russian Federation, I participated in the eighth Meeting of Special Services, Security Agencies and Law Enforcement Organizations, held in Irkutsk, Russian Federation. On 8 and 9 October, I visited the European Union institutions in Brussels, Belgium, where I held consultations regarding the implementation of the sanctions measures by the European Union and its 27 member States. The visit was an excellent opportunity to discuss the challenges that the implementation of the sanctions regime is currently facing in European Union member States, in particular following recent rulings of the European Court of Justice. Following my visit to Brussels, I also participated in an international workshop of national counter- terrorism focal points which took place in Vienna, Austria, on 12 and 13 October.”

“Following the practice of previous Chairmen of the Committee, I held an informal open briefing for all interested Member States on 18 June. That briefing offered an excellent opportunity to interact informally with Member States, who are the Committee's most important partners in improving implementation of the sanctions measures. On 28 October, the Committee met with Mr. Martin Scheinin, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism. The members of the Committee had a constructive exchange of views with Mr. Scheinin on issues related to the fairness and clearness of the Committee's procedures, in particular regarding listing and de-listing. Since my last briefing, I have made two trips in my function as Chairman of the Committee.”

“In particular, the Committee focused great attention on recommendations on how it might improve the fairness and transparency of its procedures, as well as on those recommendations seeking to enhance the rapid dissemination of information, required for the effective implementation of sanctions measures. The Committee believes that the implementation of these recommendations can further improve the credibility, effectiveness and efficiency of the sanctions regime. The tenth report of the Monitoring Team (S/2009/502) was submitted to the Committee at the end of July. The Committee is currently considering the Team's latest 21 recommendations and will, in due course, submit a report to the Security Council with the Committee's position vis-a-vis those recommendations.”

“The Committee is aware of those challenges and, as mentioned in resolution 1822 (2008), is committed to continue improving its procedures in order to introduce more elements of fairness and transparency in placing individuals, groups and entities on the list and for removing them, as well as for granting humanitarian exemptions. 09-606 12 I would also like to draw attention to the ninth report of the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team (S/2009/245) and the Committee's position on the recommendations contained therein, which was submitted to the Security Council in August and has been posted on the Committee's website (see S/2009/427).”

“At the same time we are addressing the question of how best to ensure that the remaining assets of deceased persons will not fall into the hands of other listed persons. The review is an ideal opportunity to check those entries, add additional identifiers and remove from the list names for which listing is not considered appropriate anymore. In addition, in the last years, the sanctions regime established under resolution 1267 (1999) has also encountered increasing criticism by a number of States and individuals because of procedural and human rights concerns, especially regarding the right to be heard and the lack of a review mechanism of, or possibility to appeal against, the Committee's decisions. National and regional courts are confronted with a growing number of lawsuits. Currently there are about 30 court cases around the world.”
2009-11-13 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.6217 (2009) · source
“There are numerous entries that have very few identifiers and do not contain sufficient information to allow for the positive identification of the party concerned. For example, for a number of individuals there is no full name and no date of birth. For those entries, the application of the sanctions measures is very difficult. Another challenge concerns deceased persons. The Committee knows about several individuals who are reported or believed to be dead but who are still on the list. In 27 cases the information about the death is published on the consolidated list. The Committee is currently discussing the possibility of a more flexible procedure for the de-listing of deceased persons where no assets are identified.”

“As of today, the consolidated list has 504 entries: 397 individuals 255 associated with Al-Qaida and 142 associated with the Taliban - and 107 entities associated with Al-Qaida. Since my last briefing, the 10 Committee has added to the list the names of five individuals associated with Al-Qaida. During the same period, the Committee approved the de-listing of nine entries - five individuals and four entities - of which eight were in the framework of the review. I would like to underscore that, apart from the review pursuant to resolution 1822 (2008), listed individuals and entities continue to have access to the focal point for de-listing. Despite considerable progress, several challenges regarding the consolidated list remain.”

“In the spirit of transparency, I intend to continue to regularly update Member States and the broader public about the progress of the review, including through periodic briefings, press releases and updates on the Committee's web page. I now wish to say some words on the narrative summaries of reasons for listing. With the assistance of the Monitoring Team, the Committee continues to make narrative summaries of reasons for listing of all entries on the consolidated list accessible on its web site. Since the beginning of this year, a total of 164 narrative summaries have been approved for publication on the Committee's web site. The Monitoring Team has prepared the first drafts of another 294 narrative summaries, which are currently being reviewed by the designated States.”

“Prompt replies are crucial, since the review of a particular name in the Committee can be undertaken only after the replies from all reviewing States have been received. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all States that have provided the Committee with information, and I would also like to call upon all reviewing States to do their utmost to provide their valuable information in a timely manner. It is my personal commitment to ensure that the review process is conducted seriously and thoroughly. The experience of the past several months has shown that all members of the Committee share this commitment and devote great efforts to this task, and I am grateful for that.”
