  1. “To conclude, let me underscore that only through our joint and unwavering commitment will we be able to achieve a vision of a world free from the scourges of terrorism and violent extremism. Poland stands ready to continue its engagement in international efforts to achieve that important goal.”

  2. “Such acts are war crimes and their perpetrators must be held accountable for their shameful deeds. I would like also to convey Poland's strong support for UNESCO's action to safeguard cultural heritage in both Syria and Iraq, particularly bearing in mind the unprecedented support of 137 States for the joint statement on the destruction of cultural heritage, delivered by Poland on behalf of a cross-regional core group during the twenty-eighth session of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations. UNESCO builds international support for the protection of heritage in areas where it is threatened by extremism. However, a new strategy on how to reinforce the organization's action for the protection of culture in the event of armed conflict is indispensable.”

  3. “Poland supports international efforts to fight terrorism and radicalization. We value close cooperation with the United Nations, the European Union and our strategic partners in that regard. We have a long-standing tradition of advocating for change, in particular as a result of our own recent successful political and economic transformation. Poland is ready to share its own experience. Last but not least, I must refer to another issue linked to growing extremism, which is the destruction of world cultural heritage. I take the opportunity of speaking in this Chamber to once again strongly condemn the barbaric acts of destruction of world heritage that have been taking place in the Middle East and in Africa. Damage to the cultural heritage of anyone means damage to the cultural heritage of all humankind.”

  4. “A good example of a new way of thinking was the convening of the Global Forum on Youth, Peace and Security in August in Jordan. The Amman Youth Declaration adopted at that meeting is the first of its kind to address youth and peacebuilding issues. It calls for the full engagement of youth and youth-led organizations in issues of peace and security. The driving principle is to create a space for meaningful intergenerational dialogue with common understanding and respect, in order to prevent violence and extremism. Another example worth mentioning is Hedayah, the international center established in December 2012 in Abu Dhabi, with a strong focus on countering violent extremism through dialogue, training and research. Hedayah addresses timely subjects such as combating foreign fighters and countering violent extremism through education.”

  5. “In order to meet that objective we should primarily concentrate on ensuring a stable future for youth. It is important to recognize that, from an ideological point of view, promoting a process of deradicalization is first and foremost the right and obligation of Arab and Muslim countries. His Majesty King Abdullah II spoke about that in the European Parliament last February. Education, the promotion of a culture of peace and respect for others, and appreciation for the role of Christians in the Middle East as an integral part of the world's civilization are the main elements for consolidating the efforts His Majesty proposed. Some valuable projects have already been initiated in that regard. Let me mention just a few.”

  6. “In elaborating a peaceful solution to the conflicts in both the Middle East and North Africa, we should not forget about diversity, citizenship and equality, common values such as tolerance, peace and stability, respect and acceptance of others, solidarity and identity. We need to enhance capacities to prevent and combat violent extremism through the promotion of a culture of democracy, dialogue and human rights. The role of women, who constitute a large segment of society and who are mostly in charge of basic education, should also be emphasized in that regard. We are of the View that there should be greater emphasis on the prevention of terrorism by examining and addressing the conditions conducive to its spread. The most important issue will be to curb recruitment by terrorist groups.”

  7. “Daesh and Al-Qaida feed on exactly those processes. In the light of that situation, we must ask ourselves how to de-escalate conflicts, taking into account the number of external actors involved and their contradictory interests. Repeating the mantra of the need to find a political solution will not help. Nor will a security response alone be sufficient to address the challenges posed by foreign fighters, terrorism and extremism. We should work on a comprehensive response that addresses some of the root causes, such as economic and social inequalities, and that guarantees the enjoyment of fundamental human rights and freedoms. Without a broad, inclusive solution comprised of both political and development elements, the attainment of lasting peace in the region will not be possible.”

  8. “At the outset, let me thank Russia for convening today's timely debate on issues of great importance to international peace and security. History teaches us that people will not consent to live under an authoritarian regime indefinitely, tolerating lawlessness, accepting brutality and giving up all ambition for a better life. The experience of Poland and other Central and Eastern European countries, once under foreign - Soviet - rule, are the best proof that illegitimate regimes cannot last forever. The Arab revolutions did not create a terrorist threat. However, they created a political vacuum that provides conditions permissive to violent extremism and terrorism to thrive and gain ground. The longer the crises in the Middle East and North Africa persist, the more polarized and violent their societies become.”
