1. “Such action sets a dangerous precedent that could prompt unnecessary restrictions on commercial passenger air services and diminish confidence in air travel. As countries of the international system, we have a duty to respect established international jurisdictions and norms and the rights of passengers. In that light, we reiterate the critical need to honour and adhere to principles of international law, the Montreal and Chicago Conventions and other legal obligations and instruments that guarantee the safety and security of all passengers boarding international aircraft.”

2. “In the report, ICAO acknowledges that the bomb threat against the Ryanair flight was deliberately false, endangering the flight’s safety in an unlawful act of interference and an infraction of the Convention on International Civil Aviation. Civil aviation, including scheduled and non-scheduled commercial passenger flights, is essential to our mobility in our globalized system. The operation of commercial air services hinges on the adherence of Member States to the relevant principles of international law, conventions and other legal and administrative obligations. The findings of the report, which confirm State interference with respect to the freedoms of the air, particularly the first freedom of the air, and the interception of the passenger aircraft in Belarus’s airspace, are therefore deeply concerning.”

3. “I thank Mr Sciacchitano for his briefing. Kenya expresses its deepest condolences and sympathies to the Governments and the people of Somalia for the heinous terrorist attack in Mogadishu. We stand with them and the families that have lost loved ones and wish all the injured a quick recovery. Kenya takes note of the report of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Fact-Finding Investigation, Event Involving Ryanair Flight FR4978 in Belarus Airspace on 23 May 2021, published in July after investigations into the diversion of a Ryanair passenger aircraft on 23 May 2021. When the Security Council met last year about the worrying allegations (see S/PV.8792), we called for further investigations of the situation that would enable us to engage on it from an informed position.”

4. “Finally, we reiterate the need for restraint and immediate de-escalation of the situation in Ukraine and to continue to seek a peaceful solution for this conflict, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.”

5. “In this case, we refer to article I of the Convention, which states that each State party to the Convention undertakes never in any circumstances to develop, produce, stockpile or otherwise acquire or retain those weapons. Once such conventions are breached, the escalation of armed conflict could lead to an almost unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. It would also make it all the more difficult to resolve this conflict promptly and peacefully. Kenya therefore reiterates its call on all State parties to the Convention to make use of the established mechanisms to ensure there is no ambiguity on the presence of these extremely dangerous weapons.”

6. “I thank Mr. Adedeji Ebo for his briefing. Weapons of mass destruction, including biological weapons, pose a grave danger. The indiscriminate nature of those weapons can lead only to immediate and long-term effects on people, societies and the environment. Kenya is therefore deeply concerned by any allegations of their use anywhere and by anyone. We reaffirm our support for the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), which remains the global norm against biological weapons and a fundamental pillar of the international community’s efforts to prevent the use of such weapons. As a State party, we echo the need for adherence to the BWC.”

7. “If anything, we believe that terrorism remains one of the leading causes of humanitarian emergencies. Left unchallenged by the Council, it may lead to extreme State fragility, and even failure, with catastrophic humanitarian consequences. In conclusion, Kenya is committed to supporting all efforts that fulfil our collective commitments to combat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, as well as the non-proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction.”

8. “Even as we acknowledge the good work being done by the 1267 Committee, we urge the Council to act to make this and other sanctions regimes fit for purpose. They must be equal to the threat of international peace and security, and they must be predictably consistent. Terrorism remains a growing threat in more countries today than was the case two decades ago. The fact that there are terrorist groups, such as Al-Shabaab, that remain unlisted, even as they wreak mayhem as Al-Qaida affiliates, raises important questions about the continued relevance of the counter-terrorism architecture built by the Council. We acknowledge the concerns of members that certain listings may negatively impact the delivery of humanitarian aid. We do not think counter-terrorism and humanitarian aid are in opposition.”

9. “In order to prevent non-State actors, including terrorists, from acquiring such weapons or their means of delivery, it is critical that all States implement their commitments. That includes delivering capacity-building and other support to assist States that need it for implementation. Kenya urges all States to do their utmost to attack the criminal economies and activities that enable terrorist financing. We welcome the successful production of mandated reports of the Secretary-General by the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999), concerning Al-Qaida and the Taliban and associated individuals and entities, done in collaboration with the Counter-Terrorism Committee and its Executive Directorate.”

10. “I welcome the briefings by the Chairs of the three subsidiary bodies and commend them for their excellent leadership. Kenya takes notes of the challenges the Committees have faced throughout the year due to the pandemic and welcomes the measures taken to mitigate its impact to ensure the implementation of the respective mandates. Terrorism and the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction continue to present a grave threat to international peace and security. We welcome the joint briefings by the three Committees and their acknowledgement of the interlinkages of those threats. We must remain ever-vigilant of the threat of non-State actors acquiring materials that could enable the manufacture of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons or their means of delivery.”
