  1. “I think that is something that we should therefore put into action. ThatiswhereIseetheprioritiesforaction-ensuring we are making the most of the existing tools that we have; implementing new measures to respond to the particular threat that Daesh poses to us and continuing to work together to develop our response further and reporting back here at the United Nations until we fully destroy this evil.”

  2. “Because if the threat is constantly evolving, so must our response to match it. I welcome the special meeting of the Financial Action Task Force last weekend, specifically focused on our collective response to terrorist financing. In particular I was pleased to see a commitment from the group to update its report on Daesh financing while working with the counter-ISIL finance group and others. I think it would be sensible for finance ministers to perhaps meet again in the Security Council in the months ahead, at some point, to review the evolving situation and to consider proposals for further measures. Let us be clear: adopting a resolution is one thing, implementing the resolution is of course another. We have all committed to report to the United Nations on the progress we make on that.”

  3. “I also want to look at new ways of gathering and sharing information among law enforcement agencies, internationally as well as domestically, between law enforcement agencies and the private sector, including our banking systems. This was a point that was raised by a number of speakers, and I think it is a very important one. We are taking steps in the United Kingdom, the home of one of the world's largest - indeed the world's largest - financial centres, to make sure that we have a partnership with the financial sector by which we are working together to tackle illicit financial flows. The third and final point I want to make is this: I want to make sure that the Council continues to work together to consider how we implement the recommendations on how we do more to tackle terrorist financing.”

  4. “We should similarly focus on the illegal trade in cultural artefacts, about which the Finance Minister of Jordan spoke very powerfully. We are literally seeing the history of some these countries being stolen outright from their peoples. Frankly, there is much more we can do to shine a light on the opaque trade in cultural artefacts. But, naturally, as we limit one branch of Daesh's financial network, we know that they will attempt to strengthen another. We must therefore be ready to respond to their evolving ways of satisfying their financial needs, that is, kidnapping for ransom or the involvement of organized crime. Accordingly, I am delighted that resolution 2253 (2015) makes this point clear as well.”

  5. “We heard today about the value of the Syrian oil fields to Daesh, namely, that oil alone is providing the terrorist group with millions of dollars every day: it is estimated that Daesh receives $1.5 million in proceeds every day from its exploitation of oil. We know that the military action that the United Kingdom is proud to be taking with its allies through the British air force is having some success in limiting this resource - this oil money. But we Finance Ministers can also take action. We should make clear, as we do with resolution 2253 (2015), that the United Nations sanctions regime can and will be used to target not just the terrorists but the traders, the middlemen, the people who facilitate the illegal trade in oil that provides Daesh with one of its principal sources of revenue.”

  6. “The gap between the sanction being announced and the sanction being implemented is crucial in a world where money can be moved from one place to another in a matter of seconds. In the United Kingdom, we have taken a long look at our regime, and I can confirm today that we will legislate domestically to ensure that we are able to implement United Nations sanctions without any delay. Like all members of the European Union (EU), we are currently reliant on an EU process that takes too long. We want to work with our partners in the European Union to streamline that process and make our response more rapid in order to make sure that we at a European level are able to implement United Nations designations immediately. Secondly, I want to make sure that we are responding to the evolving nature of terrorist threats with additional new measures.”

  7. “Today I would urge other Member States to do the same, to propose the designation ofthose individuals who pose a real threat so that their assets can be frozen around the world and we can cut off the resources they need before they can commit their planned acts of terrorism. We must ensure that we are using our counter- terrorism financing regimes to full effect domestically as well. I agree with what the Secretary-General was saying earlier. We need to make sure that all Member States have a regime in place that criminalizes the financing of terrorists for any purpose and that they implement the United Nations sanctions regimes fully and promptly. I thought this was also an extremely important point raised by the President of the FATF.”

  8. “I very much welcome the adoption of the very comprehensive resolution today (resolution 2253 (2015)), and I thank the Secretary- General and his team at the United Nations for their work on this matter. I would like briefly set out the areas that the United Kingdom considers to be key to strengthening the global efforts to combat terrorist financing and the financing of Daesh and to make full use of resolution 2253 (2015). First, we must ensure that we are using the existing tools that we already have to combat the threat of terrorist financing to their full effect. In September this year, the United Kingdom put forward a list of names of British nationals who had travelled to Syria and recommended them for listing under United Nations sanctions.”

  9. “When our values of freedom and democracy are threatened, when efforts are made to undermine the international peace and security that the Security Council protects, we must all unite to condemn those actions and prevent further tragedy. Since the Council first adopted resolution 1267 (1999), the threat from terrorism has evolved. In Daesh, we face a new type of threat, oppressing those in the territory that they physically control, inspiring foreign terrorist fighters to join their cause in places like Syria and Iraq, and now potentially in Libya as well, and radicalizing individuals to inspire them to commit atrocities at home. It is a new breed of terrorism and a new challenge for us as Governments and the international community, and it calls for a new response. Today we are taking significant further steps to strengthen that response.”

  10. “At a time where people question whether we can defeat these terrorists, we are already defeating these terrorists and we are making progress. In the last year, the coalition against Daesh/ISIL has liberated over 40 per cent of the territory under their control in Iraq. We are stemming the flow of foreign fighters to their ranks. We are exploiting the vulnerabilities in their financial network, and we are successfully targeting their oil supply. As British Prime Minister David Cameron said here at the United Nations in September, we are leading the efforts to tackle Daesh/ISIL's propaganda so that fewer people around the world are influenced by their message of hate. We know that those who seek to commit acts of terrorism will not stop, so neither should our resolve to defeat them.”

  11. “It is clear that these acts of violence were designed to intimidate and divide us, but they have failed to do that. Indeed, it is very striking to look at the Security Council table here in the Chamber and note that this has often been where the divisions of the world have been most evident, yet today the unity of the world is on display. Far from dividing us, the terrorists in Daesh - the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) - are actually uniting us. We are determined to take the fight to them, deprive them of their financing and to defeat them. All ofus around this table have been grappling with the threat that terrorism poses. In the last year alone in the United Kingdom, our security forces have prevented seven different plots to attack citizens in our country.”

  12. “I would like to begin, as others have done, by congratulating the President for suggesting today's meeting, in which the Finance Ministers of the members of the Security Council have come together for the first time in the history of the United Nations. I would also like to congratulate the Secretary-General and the President of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) for the leadership that they have shown on the issue before us. I, too, would like to start by offering my condolences and the condolences of the British people for those who lost their lives in Paris as a result of the dreadful attacks there, but also those who lost their lives in Ankara, Beirut and California, as well as the Russian holiday-makers travelling home from Sharm el-Sheikh who lost their lives.”
