  1. “States must therefore act within the bounds of such law when countering terrorism. Otherwise, we undermine the very rights and freedoms that the United Nations was established to promote. In conclusion, the Security Council has a vitally important role to play in tackling the scourge of terrorism, which tragically continues to destroy innocent lives around the world today. To those lives lost, whom we remembered at the start of today’s meeting, we owe it to act together and to act now.”

  2. “It seems almost illogical that women today have to be subject to debates and conversations on getting them seats at the main table, and not in some side room, in pursuit of solutions. We need to address this issue and address it now. We need to ensure that Member States everywhere involve women, and we must take the lead in ensuring that women are pivotal to developing strategies to prevent and counter violent extremism and terrorism. Those strategies must also address activities that specifically target women, not only as victims and influencers in communities, but also as potential perpetrators. Thirdly, I wanted to touch upon the importance of human rights in our responses. As the Security Council, we have the obligation under international law to protect and promote human rights.”

  3. “I was honoured to host, among others, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Nadia Murad and many other survivors of sexual violence, who spoke about the need for Governments to do more to end those atrocities. And there is also an important solution. In hearing Ms. Anjali Vijay Kulthe today and her bravery and courage, we need to ensure that we work with those who survive, those who experience the scourge of terrorism, hand in glove to ensure they inform our policies and what we can also do in working together to eradicate extremist ideology. We also — and I join with the Foreign Minister of Ireland in this — ask why in 2022 we are having this conversation on involving more women.”

  4. “We must work with communities and faith leaders to address and eradicate the perverse ideologies that are used to drive the abhorrent crimes of terrorism. The United Kingdom is working with its partners to understand how the United Nations can better incorporate civil society perspectives into its work. Secondly, our policy and programming should understand and address the gender dynamics of terrorism. We know that terrorists and violent extremists are perpetrators of sexual violence. Two weeks ago, I had the honour to host, on behalf of the United Kingdom, an international conference on preventing sexual violence in conflict aimed at strengthening the global response.”

  5. “Those evolving tactics require a response from us as well to ensure that we counter that abhorrent ideology. We must also make effective use of our sanctions regimes to prevent terrorists from acquiring weapons and financing. We must adapt and evolve our own counter-terrorism efforts, prevent terrorist exploitation of emerging technologies, and indeed of vulnerable communities. Radicalization takes place through innovative technology means. We need to ensure we counter it through similar measures. As we tackle terrorism, we must be vigilant and uphold three important principles. First, we urge all colleagues, friends and Member States to address the real drivers of terrorism and violent extremism, using a whole-of-society approach.”

  6. “Terrorist groups, including Al-Qaida, which operate today in Afghanistan and beyond, and the Da’esh affiliates — Boko Haram and Al-Shabaab, to name but two — are continuing to work across different parts of the world and inflict human suffering on innocent lives and innocent people and destroy communities around the world. But we also need to recognize and be cognizant to the fact that those terrorist organizations are increasingly employing new methods of radicalization, the driver of terrorism and evolving tactics. They use technology in innovative ways. Even in the United Kingdom, we continue to face that challenge. Young minds are being corrupted. The front door is circumvented as technology is used as a tool to radicalize young men and women.”

  7. “Anjali Vijay Kulthe, whose inspiring testimony of bravery and courage we heard. I was delighted that my dear friend the Foreign Secretary was able to join the meetings that India has led, in particular the excellent Counter-Terrorism Committee meetings in Mumbai and New Delhi, and set out our strong position of working together with India, and indeed all international partners, to counter the global threat of international terrorism. It is a threat that is ever-evolving and is becoming ever-more complex. It requires collective and comprehensive solutions and responses.”

  8. “We pay tribute to their bravery and courage, and our prayers and best wishes go out for the quick recovery of those injured. I would first like to thank you, Mr. President. It is a great pleasure to join this Security Council meeting under your stewardship. I pay tribute to India for its stewardship and contributions to the Security Council, in particular on the issue of counter-terrorism, during its Council tenure. The Government of India deserves immense credit for the focus it has brought to the issue of counter-terrorism and what lies beneath and drives terrorism, which is a perverse ideology of extremism. We need to work together to counter that. I would also like to join in thanking our three briefers: Mr. Voronkov, who I know well — I am sorry to not see him in person today, Mr. Chen and Ms.”

  9. “We urge the international community to unite to address the scourge of terrorism, because as Ms. Anjali Vijay Kulthe has reminded us in painful detail, the consequences of failure must not be acceptable to any of us. Lord Ahmad (United Kingdom): Before I proceed, I would like to join others and express the deepest condolences to my dear friend Mr. Simon Coveney and all the people of Ireland with regard to the tragic loss of a peacekeeper in Lebanon, someone who was doing his job. Indeed, in extending our prayers and best wishes for the recovery of those injured, I join with him once again in our strong solidarity with those who represent this Organization on the world stage and in some of the most difficult places in the world and, ultimately, as we have seen, tragically, pay with their lives.”

  10. “Over the past few days, we have engaged in meaningful efforts to advance shared peace and security, spur economic growth, revitalize democracy, improve health infrastructure, overcome global food and energy insecurity, and tackle the climate crisis — priorities that everyone around this table shares. But all of those shared goals are put at risk by the pervasive threat of terrorism. And the inverse is also true: if we can make progress against those goals, we will drain the swamp where terrorism lives and thrives. As we look collectively to overcome the cumulative destabilizing impact of the coronavirus disease, climate shocks and armed conflict, including Russia’s brutal war on Ukraine, we cannot afford to fail. Next year, the General Assembly will review the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy.”

  11. “That is why we are working with all Council members to spearhead an urgent effort to improve security coordination and encourage countries to repatriate, rehabilitate, reintegrate and, where appropriate, prosecute their nationals who participate in violent extremism. As part of that approach, our Department of Defense is working to construct a new all-purpose detention facility in neighbouring Rumaylan that will be managed by the Syrian Democratic Forces to securely and more humanely accommodate detainees. Finally, I would just note that I came from Washington, D.C., yesterday evening, where we are hosting 49 African Heads of State gathered for the United States-Africa Leaders Summit.”

  12. “That is why we are focused on implementing the current, robust global counter-terrorism framework focused on a whole-of- society approach. I also have to register the United States deep concern over the untenable situation in north-east Syria in the detention centres where the single-largest group of terrorists anywhere in the world currently resides, and also over the Al-Hol displaced persons camp, with over 50,000 associated women and children. With approximately 10,000 foreign fighters in detention in north-east Syria, ISIS will seek to exploit regional instability to continue to pursue its “Breaking the Walls” campaign, freeing prisoners and replenishing its ranks.”

  13. “We have to nurture good governance, respect for human rights, access to education, health care and economic opportunity. We have to support Governments and their ability to deliver for their citizens. That is key to breaking the cycle of violent extremism. As I saw in the Niger, we, the United States, can support security forces — that is important, and it is paramount for slowing terrorist activities — but it is not enough in a country in which half of the students are not in school. As President Bazoum of the Niger himself says, that kind of lack of education is a driver of the next generation of insecurity and terrorism. We must ensure that women and girls have safe access to education, health care and economic opportunity and that their communities and their countries are more stable and more prosperous.”

  14. “We are very grateful for the efforts of humanitarian organizations to advocate for that resolution and ensure that they can help vulnerable populations. It is also critical that counter-terrorism campaigns not be used as a pretext for Member States to violate fundamental freedoms themselves. And it is concerning that some Member States seek to undermine the advances on gender, civil society and human rights made in Security Council resolutions and the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. We have seen time and again that counter-terrorism cannot succeed through sheer force and hard security measures alone. As I was reminded during my recent travels to Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania and the Niger, to be truly effective, as many have said, counter-terrorism needs to be nested in a whole-of-Government and whole-of-society effort.”

  15. “We have been pleased to co-nominate several listings with India on ISIS and Al-Qaida, and we hope that the 1267 Committee will move forward with those and other new nominations. The Council took strong steps last week to adopt resolution 2664 (2022) to help ensure that reputable, impartial humanitarian actors are able to do their life-saving work, even in areas where terrorists operate or control territory. That will ensure that those in need get the help they need and are not left simply at the mercy of terrorists. We simply cannot afford to leave those civilians exposed to the predations of malign actors who fail to meet their basic needs and often steal from them, destroy their property and take their lives.”

  16. “Unfortunately, the Security Council Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015), concerning the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Da’esh), Al-Qaida and associated individuals, groups, undertakings and entities, and the Security Council Committee pursuant to resolution 751 (1992), concerning Al-Shabaab, have only agreed to designate one entity and one individual this year. An array of holds, due to unrelated political fights, stand in the way of new listings. That political obstructionism fundamentally undermines the Committees’ mandates to prevent and deter threats to international peace and security and weakens the impact of the United Nations sanctions regime.”

  17. “Despite the success of our Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS and the decisive strike against Al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in July, the threat is significant. One way the Security Council can help is by doing more on the current sanctions list to ensure it accurately reflects the realities on the ground. United Nations sanctions are an essential tool in our counter-terrorism tool kit. The Council should support listing all ISIS and Al-Qaida affiliates, as well as their leaders and key supporters, so that they face global asset freezes, travel bans and arms embargoes.”

  18. “In Kenya, we work with security and law enforcement to enhance detection and prevention and improve investigations and prosecutions and ensure we get convictions. Here in September, during the General Assembly, at the Global Counterterrorism Forum, I announced a new toolkit to counter racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism, developed jointly by the United States and Norway, to provide practical recommendations for countries and communities to recognize and respond to that threat. But while we work on racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism, we also have to not distract from the parallel fight against Al-Qaida and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham (ISIS) wherever it is found.”

  19. “It is therefore critical that we build on our shared capabilities in order to better detect, degrade and respond to those new threats. That is why we are working with partners now to strengthen domestic law enforcement, judicial capabilities and border security, improve intelligence and information-sharing on those threats and sever key sources of terrorist financing. In May, we launched the Counterterrorism Law Enforcement Forum in Berlin, bringing together law enforcement officials from some 40 countries to build capacity and share best practices. In Indonesia, for example, the United States supports continuous mentorship programmes to vetted law enforcement agencies investigating terrorist activity.”

  20. “It is incumbent upon us to tackle those issues jointly, from the undergoverned and ungoverned spaces susceptible to terrorist control and the desperate conditions that are conducive to recruitment, to the sources of illicit finance and the perverse ideologies spreading online and across borders. The United Nations now estimates that racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism, what we call “REMVE”, has increased over 320 per cent in recent years, with worrisome new transatlantic links among groups. That ideology, rooted in hate like xenophobia, racism, anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry, has found common cause online, with new members being recruited through various social media platforms and fake and manipulated photos quickly spreading misinformation and hate.”

  21. “Anjali Vijay Kulthe, for reminding us that the numbers on terrorism do not show the true story of the pain and the human toll. Ms. Anjali’s story is painful not because it is unique, but because it is not. Last year, the world faced more than 8,000 terrorist incidents across 65 countries, which killed more than 23,000 people. Stories like Ms. Anjali’s tell of families and communities left shattered. They are stories of unbelievable horror and desperation, but also of heroism like hers. Other recent attacks around the world — the bombing of a police station in Indonesia, the coup attempt in Germany and hateful incidents in our own country — remind us that no country is safe from that threat, and it cannot be defeated by any of us alone or by any regional bloc. We must all work together.”

  22. “First, our hearts are with Minister Coveney, the Irish people, the family of their fallen peacekeeper and with those who are recovering from the vicious attack in Lebanon. It is further evidence of the risks that all our peacekeepers take in support of the missions of this body. I also want to thank Mr. Jaishankar, Permanent Representative Kamboj and India for this vital meeting, for their presidency of the Council this month and for their active engagement and leadership as Chair of the Counter-Terrorism Committee this year. The United States Coordinator for Counterterrorism was just in New Delhi this week, working on ways to deepen our own partnership further, including against new and emerging threats. I also want to also thank our United Nations briefers, especially Ms.”
