1. “To that end, the international financial system must be transformed by reforming the multilateral financial institutions. (spoke in English) I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I shall now give the floor to the other members of the Council who wish to make statements. I call on the President of the Swiss Confederation.”

2. “The high indebtedness of many low- and middle-income developing countries not only reduces their ability to finance essential services and their economies, including responding effectively to the impacts of various shocks arising from climate change and human-made crises, it also makes them increasingly vulnerable to extremism, terrorism and other violent conflicts. In a recent study, the United Nations Development Programme estimated that 52 countries of that group, representing almost 40 per cent of the world’s poor, are faced with that situation. In order to help them emerge from that crisis, we call on the international community to restructure their debts and facilitate access to affordable funding for high-risk countries.”

3. “The fourth is coordinating priorities among various geopolitical regions, such as the West, Africa and the Middle East, while taking into account the spectrum of terrorism. The fifth is promoting a holistic approach that combines security, judicial and socioeconomic interventions in order to address fragile social factors that can often be seen as root causes of terrorism. The sixth is improving instruments and methods that will help us to distinguish between the types and modus operandi of terrorists in particular geographic regions so that we avoid trying to counter terrorism with global solutions alone. In conclusion, I would like to make an appeal.”

4. “In addition, we would like to propose that the following policies and strategies be considered when coordinating with various multilateral mechanisms. The first is strengthening cooperation among the Security Council, the African Union Peace and Security Council and regional blocs in order to stop the spread and consolidation of terrorism on the African continent. The second is prioritizing support for regional solutions arising from security pacts, as well as duly scrutinized bilateral mechanisms. The third is using information- and technology-sharing to build capacities for protecting critical infrastructure in areas where interests overlap, such as inter-State borders.”

5. “Before I conclude my remarks, which are intended to share our vision, and basing our views on lessons learned in the African context, as well as on our understanding of the international structure of terrorism and violent extremism, Mozambique would like to humbly propose that the eighth review of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, scheduled for July, take into consideration the following. We need to establish a common mechanism aimed at promoting community resilience, which prevents the violent extremism that can lead to terrorism. That could be translated into the establishment of a fund to strengthen local sustainable development initiatives promoting projects that can generate jobs for young people, especially in Africa and the Middle East.”

6. “Therefore, as I mentioned, Mozambique has been engaged in countering terrorism with some success thanks to the combination of internal efforts and support from partners — including SADC, through its mission in Mozambique, and Rwanda — which have invested their scarce resources to the detriment of the social and economic development agenda. We therefore call for more support to be given to Mozambique and those countries so that terrorism can be eradicated from our country and the region.”

7. “That shows how the approach of African solutions to African problems is not merely pan-Africanist discourse or an empty narrative but rather a principle that seeks to capitalize on local experiences and local specificities in finding solutions. For Mozambique, that experience is vested with added value, as we are currently fighting terrorism by combining SADC’s regional multilateral efforts with the bilateral efforts of Mozambique and Rwanda. Together, we are successfully fighting terrorism. Instead of the large investments that have been made globally over many years for the benefit of some countries, including African countries, we propose the consideration of the model I have described. It is simple to monitor, allows for easy communication and has achieved success very quickly.”

8. “African countries, the African Union and regional organizations, such as the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the Economic Community of West African States and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, have accumulated relevant experience over the years on matters of conflict resolution. That experience has contributed to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union’s Agenda 2063 with respect to the objective of silencing the guns in Africa. For example, a SADC mission was established in Mozambique with an important military component that has been engaged in fighting terrorism in Cabo Delgado province since July 2021.”

9. “In addition, the Charter of the United Nations, in Chapter VIII, Articles 52 to 54, provides an appropriate framework for collaboration and the sharing of responsibilities among the United Nations and regional and subregional mechanisms in the area of international peacekeeping and security. Moreover, institutional collaboration between the United Nations and regional organizations has been referenced in various Security Council resolutions that emphasize the importance of international cooperation in countering terrorism, as well as the role that regional organizations can play in that regard.”

10. “The Republic of Mozambique commends the efforts of the United Nations, through its Counter- Terrorism Committee, in coordinating Member States’ efforts to fight terrorism, in particular by monitoring the implementation of its Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and resolution 1373 (2001), on counter- terrorism, and prevention measures. The Republic of Mozambique also underscores the importance of the Delhi Declaration, which reaffirms the collective efforts of States through a zero-tolerance approach to terrorism. With regard to the multilateral approach underlined in a number of relevant documents, regional mechanisms are an option that should be seriously considered in countering terrorism.”

11. “As mentioned earlier, the exploitation of the development challenges faced by the majority of African countries, in particular with respect to youth employment rates, makes communities vulnerable to the phenomenon of terrorism. By proposing this theme, we aim to provide the Security Council with a moment for reflection, including on how to improve the cooperation framework among the United Nations, the African Union and African subregional organizations in the context of countering terrorism. The lessons gathered from such reflection could be useful and could be applied in other regions of the world that are affected by the phenomenon.”

12. “The 2022 Global Terrorism Index shows that approximately 48 per cent of terrorism-related deaths occur in Africa, with the Sahel region being the new epicentre of terrorist attacks. At the level of continental Africa, terrorist groups have acted with more frequency in North Africa, the Sahel, Central Africa, the Horn of Africa, East Africa and Southern Africa. In the Southern Africa region, the Republic of Mozambique has been the direct target of terrorist attacks since October 2017. Those acts have caused death and destruction and slowed down the development agenda for the welfare of our peoples. Violent extremism conducive to terrorism is also sustained by a number of different approaches and narratives.”

13. “On the one hand, radicalization is based on identity variables that are fuelled by intolerance, and on the other hand, the manipulation of socioeconomic factors has accelerated recruitment by terrorist groups, particularly among young people. The association of terrorism with transnational organized crime has contributed to the survival and spread of terrorist groups. In the context of the African continent, such groups have generally resorted to trafficking in mineral resources, in particular gemstones, as well as to trafficking in illicit drugs, in order to fund their activities through money- laundering. Such financial resources derived from illicit activities sustain the seduction and recruitment of young people to join their groups. Although terrorism is a global threat, the situation in Africa is more critical.”

14. “Under the current circumstances, terrorism represents the predominant face of the scourge of war that the United Nations aimed to eliminate from its inception, through the changes it brought about in different economic, geographic and social contexts. Countering terrorism continues to pose a challenge to consolidating the spirit of solidarity among peoples and States, due to its transnational nature and its unpredictability in relation to the locations and times in which it occurs and the targets it strikes. The expansion of terrorism is a significant threat and is driven by factors that vary from one context to another.”

15. “I extend my singular appreciation to Secretary- General António Guterres for his commitment to strengthening multilateralism, in particular the international peace and security agenda — the tenets upon which the Organization was established. On 1 March this year, as a non-permanent member of the Security Council for the 2023–2024 term, the Republic of Mozambique assumed the monthly rotating presidency. Among various themes, Mozambique elected for a signature event an in-depth debate on countering terrorism and preventing violent extremism. It is our understanding that, like climate change, terrorism is one of the serious threats to the security of our countries.”

16. “I thank Mr. Assoumani for his briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the President of the Republic of Mozambique. (spoke in Portuguese; English text provided by the delegation) I begin my statement before this organ of the United Nations — the Security Council — by welcoming and thanking all those who have honoured today’s meeting with their presence.

17. “Azali Assoumani, President of Comoros and Chairperson of the African Union, to participate in this meeting. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2023/147, which contains the text of a letter dated 24 February 2023 from the Permanent Representative of Mozambique to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General, transmitting a concept note on the item under consideration.

18. “I would like to warmly welcome the Secretary-General, His Excellency Mr. António Guterres. I also wish to wholeheartedly thank the Heads of State, ministers and other high-level representatives for honouring this meeting with their attendance. Their presence today underscores the importance of the subject matter under discussion and attests to their valuable support for Mozambique’s efforts to rally the international community in defeating terrorism. In accordance with rule 37 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite the representative of Rwanda to participate in this meeting. On behalf of the Council, I welcome His Excellency Mr. Vincent Biruta, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Rwanda. In accordance with rule 39 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite His Excellency Mr.”
