“It is prepared to gather and analyse intelligence on terrorism activities from all agencies and implement recommendations. It is also seeking to identify radicalized elements within the communities and run targeted rehabilitation programmes for those in need. Our vision is clear and our commitment is strong in stopping, defeating and eliminating the menace of terrorism. To achieve this end, the Maldives and the rest of the world needs the leadership of the United Nations to counter the ideologies that shape and drive terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.”

“The Maldives enacted its counter-terrorism legislation in October last year in an effort to stop Maldivians engaging in terrorist activities. The law restricts the publication and distribution, even through media channels or the Internet, of any materials that could incite terrorist acts or propagate terrorist ideologies. Pursuant to this law, President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom formulated a comprehensive national policy to counter terrorism and militant radicalism in the country. And in February this year, President Yameen established the National Counter- Terrorism Centre. The Centre is mandated to formulate counter-terrorism guidelines and procedures based on the analysis of international benchmarks and best practices.”

“Although various resolutions have been adopted by Council over the years, there is still much to be done to address the root causes. Resolutions 1624 (2005) and 2178 (2014) are important steps in the right direction. At the same time, we must also quickly finalize the draft comprehensive convention on international terrorism, which is currently being discussed in the Sixth Committee. And we should work collectively to overcome the stalemates in the negotiations, finalize and implement this draft treaty, which has been in the works for almost 10 years. Most importantly, the United Nations system can help countries to work collaboratively. It can help Member States cultivate the values of respect and the importance of promoting peace at every level in society.”

“We need to ask hard questions about whether the injustices and inequalities and such racial or religious prejudices as the Islamophobia at national and international levels are giving the terrorists an easy excuse to assault the principles, norms and values that we have cherished for centuries. We have to gain a deeper understanding of the ideas that are fuelling and driving terrorism. Only a correct analysis of the situation will lead to developing the right strategies and tools to eliminate the menace of terrorism. The United Nations is ideally placed to lead the global efforts aimed at combatting the ideas that drive terrorism. As the primary body mandated by the Charter to maintain peace and security, the Security Council's role is key within the Organization.”

“Ideology can have more lasting and deep-rooted impacts, which are far more complex to address and resolve. Yet a greater proportion of resources allocated for combatting terrorism have been spent on combat operations. While combat operations are important and necessary, we now recognize that defeating terrorist ideologies is the lynchpin of eliminating the global threat of terrorism. To do that, countries need to get a full grasp of the ideology of terrorism. We need to understand why a reasonable individual holding a decent job can be so easily convincedto becomeahumanweaponinthe hands of the terrorists.”

“I would like to start by congratulating the Egyptian delegation on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council, and thank it for convening today's debate to coincide with the high-level thematic debate on the United Nations, peace and security, organized by the President of the General Assembly. This is indeed an opportune time to discuss this important issue of countering the narratives and ideologies of terrorism, which is at the heart of the war against terrorism. It has become increasingly evident that the psychological weaponry used by various terrorist groups to propagate their narratives and ideologies to recruit supporters and fighters are equally if not more dangerous than the bombs and guns they use in attacking civilians.”
