  1. “The need for a holistic approach calls, in turn, for tight cooperation between the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council. We believe that collaboration between those two bodies should be given due consideration in our efforts to eradicate international terrorism. Success in combating international terrorism ultimately depends on the ability of our Governments to work together through international cooperation mechanisms. By virtue of its worldwide membership, the United Nations provides a unique institutional framework to do this. We therefore welcome the sustained comprehensive approach outlined in the ministerial declaration and consider it our common responsibility to cooperate fully with the Council in this fight.”

  2. “The ratification of several anti-terrorism treaties is under way. Croatia has also implemented 98 per cent of the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering, which have been incorporated into national legislation. The fight against international terrorism is multilevel and multifaceted and has many fronts, which were addressed in the declaration that the Council adopted on 20 January as an annex to resolution 1456 (2003). We find it encouraging that development issues and conflict prevention have been integrated into the Council's campaign against terrorism. The interdependence of socio-economic, security and peace-building issues was itself the focus of the Croatian presidency of the Economic and Social Council in 2002.”

  3. “By focusing on controlling migration and borders, harmonizing legislation, sharing information and fighting organized crime and money-laundering, those initiatives are important in preventing and eliminating terrorism. Ultimately, it is implementation at the national level that remains crucial for eradicating terrorism. Following the adoption of resolution 1373 (2001), the Croatian Government established an inter-agency working group charged specifically with its implementation and mandated all relevant governmental agencies to examine the implementing legislation and to initiate possible amendments. Subsequently, the criminal code was amended in accordance with resolution 1373 (2001), while the law on foreign currency transactions, the anti-money- laundering law, the law on legal assistance and the asylum law are currently being revised.”

  4. “Within that framework, in September 2002 Croatia hosted an international symposium on "Terrorism and security in the twenty-first century: South-Eastern Europe and the world". A number of additional projects are being realized within the framework of the Stability Pact for South-Eastern Europe, the Central European Initiative, the Adriatic- Ionian Initiative, the Budapest process and the South- Eastern European Cooperation Initiative Regional Centre for Combating Transborder Crime, or in direct collaboration with neighbouring countries. At the bilateral level, Croatia has concluded agreements on cooperation in the fight against terrorism, organized crime and drug abuse with 18 countries, while 32 additional agreements are under way.”

  5. “We therefore welcome the forthcoming meeting between the CTC and representatives of the relevant international and regional organizations, hoping that it will deepen that synergy. Croatia plays an active part in various regional counter-terrorism initiatives. As a member of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Croatia has implemented obligations set out in the Bucharest Plan of Action for Combating Terrorism as well as those stipulated by five anti-terrorism conventions of the Council of Europe. The Plan of Action for Combating Terrorism, adopted at the Warsaw Conference of the Presidents of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, has initiated further measures aimed at strengthening cooperation within the region.”

  6. “In addition to a number of regional and sectoral agreements, Croatia is party to six key United Nations conventions on suppressing terrorism and is taking steps to expeditiously become party to the remaining legal instruments. In View of next month's meeting of the Ad Hoc Committee established by General Assembly resolution 51/210 of 17 December 1996, charged with the elaboration of a draft comprehensive convention on combating international terrorism and a draft convention on the suppression of nuclear terrorism, my delegation hopes that Member States will find the critical political will to finalize these negotiations. Regional and subregional cooperation complements and enhances our global efforts.”

  7. “For its part, Croatia has already elaborated several projects that could benefit from such assistance - ranging from enhancing border controls to the training of law enforcement and anti-terrorist experts to protection against attacks involving radiation and weapons of mass destruction - as described in its earlier submissions to the CTC. The United Nations has proved to be indispensable at the global level as a focal point for integrated action and as the architect of an extensive body of international anti-terrorist legislation. The universal criminalization of terrorist-related acts is the first step towards their eradication. However, relevant international instruments have no value without universal participation and full implementation.”

  8. “I would like to use this opportunity to express my Government's thanks and appreciation to the Committee's Chairman, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, for his dedication, efficiency and transparency in guiding the work of the CTC. This meeting comes at an opportune time for discussing how to enhance and intensify the Committee's work. As last month's ministerial meeting indicated, the CTC is ready to enter a new phase, which should be more action-oriented. We were particularly encouraged by proposals aimed at the establishment of a special cooperation and assistance fund, under United Nations auspices, that would cooperate closely with international financial institutions. For many countries, including mine, the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001) could be significantly upgraded through technical and financial assistance.”

  9. “The Security Council responded to that threat appropriately and promptly by adopting resolution 1373 (2001) and by subsequently creating the Counter- Terrorism Committee (CTC). The almost universal response of Member States to the CTC's requests is a telling example of how efficient the United Nations can be in mobilizing the international community in this fight. We believe that the CTC's work thus far has been a success. By prompting Member States to consolidate and improve their legislative and law-enforcement measures and to identify possible weak spots in countering terrorism at the national level, the CTC reporting system has proved to be more than purely a stock-taking exercise.”

  10. “Memories of the recent wave of worldwide terrorist attacks make us painfully aware of how vulnerable all our societies are when faced with the threat of international terrorism. The continuing high terror alert, which is becoming a daily reality for many of us, reminds us that this new global scourge, which is indiscriminate in its attacks, does not recognize borders, nationalities, religion, race or age. Although anti-terrorism is not a new item on the United Nations agenda, it took the horrors of 11 September 2001 to galvanize the international community and to step up the global fight against terrorism. Those acts, which shook the foundations of the world order, have redefined our understanding of the notion of a threat to international peace and security.”
