“Mr. Oyarzun Marchesi (Spain) (spoke in Spanish): I would like to thank Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda for her briefing, and to convey Spain's congratulations to the International Criminal Court (ICC) on its work, particularly regarding the Sudan. In reading the Prosecutor's report, I get a clear sense of the level of frustration there. We are marking the tenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1593 (2005), and in that context I find the failures that have occurred to be striking. On 31 March 2005, the Security Council addressed this situation by adopting that resolution, but today we find ourselves in a situation in which the message we must convey is extremely important. We must send a message to those responsible for violations of human rights and international humanitarian law that impunity cannot be allowed to continue.”

“The third is the review of the important resolution 1325 (2000), on which we are working very productively with the delegation of the United Kingdom. We hope that a new resolution will be adopted on 22 October. The fourth is the post-2015 development agenda, which, we should remember, includes goals for peacebuilding that we should be bearing in mind. In conclusion, Spain will attempt to help, to the extent possible, to promote the work of the Peacebuilding Commission, because we consider it to be the body that is best positioned to provide continued support to post-conflict countries. It is therefore also the best early-warning mechanism for preventing such States from relapsing into conflict or instability.”

“Fourthly, we believe in the importance of justice. The fact is that we cannot conceive of peace without justice, nor can reconciliation be achieved without it. All of those concepts are closely intertwined, and that is why Spain has always been a staunch defender of the International Criminal Court. We will spare no effort to promote its work. A fifth goal that Spain will promote is working to achieve the thoughtful convergence of four mechanisms that are already established and under way. The first is the peace operations review process, which must, of course, include the vital component of an exit strategy for peacekeeping operations. The second is the Peacebuilding Commission's review of its own architecture.”

“With Morocco, we launched a mediation initiative in the Mediterranean region, and we recently held a meeting in Madrid whose outcome will be circulated to all of the States Members of the United Nations so they can see the results in detail. Thirdly, we are one of the biggest supporters there is of the concept of the responsibility to protect. Two days ago, a meeting of focal points on the responsibility to protect took place in Madrid. Another of our goals is strengthening regional factors. In our View, when a State is emerging from conflict, there can be no better instrument for restoring it and preventing its relapse into conflict than the region itself. A region is able to help, to overcome obstacles to trade and establish a protection mechanism that can enable a State to definitively re-establish stability.”

“The Peacebuilding Fund must have sufficient resources to address situations where, for one reason or another, there is instability that could lead to a State's relapse into conflict. That is my first point. The second, as I said, is sharing with the Council some of Spain's objectives for its two-year membership of the Council, of which four are key. The first is strengthening preventive action. The Council is aware that Spain, together with Turkey, launched the Alliance of Civilizations, which has functioned splendidly as an instrument of preventive diplomacy. Next week, we will adopt a new resolution on it by consensus, which should be a further step forward in consolidating the Alliance's role as a powerful instrument for combating conflict situations. Secondly, we will work to make greater use of mediation.”

“We need significant financial resources in order to build peace. I believe there is no better investment than an investment in peacebuilding, because there is nothing more expensive than a State's relapse into conflict. The best investment the international community can make in a State is ensuring its stability. The worst investment is failing to provide the necessary resources and thus allowing a State to relapse into conflict once more. Unfortunately, history is littered with instances where, due to lack of investment or attention, countries have relapsed into conflict. I therefore believe it is vital that we find ways to create financing systems for facilitating something that is fundamental, but very difficult to achieve - financial predictability and annual commitments.”

“Mr. Oyarzun Marchesi (Spain) (spoke in Spanish): I thank the Ambassadors of Sweden and Brazil for their helpful briefings and for the report of the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) on its eighth session (S/2015/174), which covers its work during 2014. I will speak only briefly, since the full text of my statement will appear on the website of the Spanish mission. I will therefore address two main points - first what I found most interesting in the report, and then the issues that Spain considers to be peacebuilding priorities during its time on the Council - in other words, how we can make a difference from our seat on the Council. The Ambassador of the United Kingdom said rightly that peacebuilding takes time. That is true, and it is very important. It can take years or decades. I would add that it takes time and money.”

“Finally, while the Committee reiterates that the primary responsibility for applying the provisions of resolutions 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008) and 1929 (2010) resides with Member States, the Committee is prepared to facilitate the implementation of those measures.”

“The Committee will continue to study the report and to consider whether additional follow-up measures will be needed in the light of its conclusions. Furthermore, I would like to state that, following the 9 June decision adopted by the Council in resolution 2224 (2015) to extend the mandate of the Panel of Experts until 9 July 2016, the Bureau has undertaken the required administrative procedures concerning nominations to the Panel. With respect to the activities conducted by the Panel over the past three months, I wish to point out that it participated in a series of activities that are enumerated in the annex to the current report.”

“With regard to the Panel of Experts, the Committee heard a briefing on the final report on the mandate of the Panel of Experts (S/2015/401) in the framework of its informal consultations, which were held on 1 June, and had the opportunity to review that report with the Panel, as required in paragraph 2 of resolution 2159 (2014). On 1 June the Council received the report, the text ofwhich may be viewed in all the official languages of the United Nations. The report contains observations that can serve as a useful guide for Member States when it comes time to implement the measures set forth in resolutions 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008) and 1929 (2010). The Committee notes that the Panel has not issued any new recommendations in addition to those contained in its previous final reports.”

“In accordance with paragraph 5 of resolution 1737 (2006), the Committee was notified by one Member State about the expected delivery of equipment to be used in a light-water reactor at the Bushehr nuclear plant. Regarding actions taken by Member States to implement the relevant measures of the Security Council, the Committee encourages those Member States that have not yet submitted reports to do so as soon as possible, in recognition of the importance of national implementation reports for promoting the implementation of sanctions measures.”

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has not yet responded, and the Committee continues to urge it to do so. The Committee continues to provide States and international organizations with assistance in implementing the relevant Security Council measures. That includes analysing whether or not the proposals for technical assistance to the Islamic Republic of Iran, which cover a broad array of fields, from energy efficiency to the protection of the ozone layer, as well as proposals for other kinds of cooperation, are in violation of the sanctions regimes. The Committee welcomes such collaboration on matters relating to implementation and compliance, and encourages the parties to continue to request the Committee's guidance with respect to the implementation of the Council's measures.”

“I would like to reiterate that the measures imposed by the Security Council under resolutions 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008) and 1929 (2010) remain in full effect while negotiations between the P5+l and the Islamic Republic of Iran continue, and that Member States remain under the obligation to apply them. The Committee continues to fully support the implementation of all relevant resolutions and stands ready to provide guidance to those Member States that request assistance. During the reporting period, the Committee was informed of no new incidents. With respect to prior events investigated by the Panel of Experts, I would like to recall that the Committee has been in touch with the Islamic Republic of Iran on a number of occasions in order to convey its observations.”

“Mr. Oyarzun Marchesi (Spain) (spoke in Spanish): I have the honour to present the report of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1737 (2006), in accordance with paragraph 18 of that resolution. The present report covers the period from 24 March to 22 June, during which time the Committee held an informal meeting on 1 June and carried out additional activities, using the no-objection procedure provided for in paragraph 15 of the guidelines for conducting its work. Taking into account the evolution of events relating to the Joint Plan of Action, the Committee reiterates its support to all parties in their efforts to hold negotiations aimed at achieving a broad agreement.”

“In its capacity as penholder, Spain would encourage the Government of Afghanistan to exercise its irreplaceable leadership in that process, without which the expected result will not be achieved within the desired time frame.”

“As a supporting country of the Heart of Asia-Istanbul Process, Spain is utterly convinced of the importance of that new dimension for the stability of the progress made in Afghanistan. We particularly welcome the substantive steps taken by Afghanistan and Pakistan to enhance their cooperation in the face of their common challenges and shared threats. Lastly, I would like to mention the Tripartite Commission, which comprises representatives of the Government of Afghanistan, the international donor community, and UNAMA and United Nations agencies. The Commission is to examine the role, structure and activities of all United Nations entities in Afghanistan, as requested of the Secretary-General by the Security Council in its resolution 2210 (2015) and in response to the interest in the matter expressed by Afghanistan.”

“The process must be Afghan-led, as Ambassador Tanin rightly said, or it will quite simply not succeed. It must also, however, preserve the gains made over the last 14 years, particularly in the area of human rights and, above all, women's and girls' rights. We therefore welcome the guarantees provided in that regard on many occasions by President Ghani and the high priority that his Government will give to the respect and promotion of human rights in Afghanistan. I will now move on to the role of the region, about which Ambassador Tanin spoke in detail. We also welcome the newfound dynamism of Afghanistan and its neighbours, which have recently given a new dimension to regional affairs.”

“We deplore the increase in the number of civilian victims of the conflict, which is reflected in the Secretary-General's report (S/2015/422), and we are concerned by the persistent reports of the presence of foreign terrorist fighters. We must not be daunted, however, just as the members of the Afghan security forces and bodies, who are paying a high price for valiantly and resolutely performing their mission, are not daunted. Spain reiterates its commitment to supporting those forces and bodies through the Resolute Support Mission, which provides security training, advisers and assistance. With regard to the reconciliation process, progress must be made as quickly as possible towards national peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan, and I would emphasize that we must involve the Taliban more.”

“We also welcome the impetus given to the practical implementation of the Government's work through tools such as the lOO-day action plans of the various ministries. Much remains to be done, however, and the challenges ahead are considerable. The implementation of the reforms, in particular the electoral reform, which remains pending, must be accelerated. The postponed parliamentary elections must be held and, above all, the gains of recent years must be preserved. In this new phase, as in previous phases, Afghanistan can count on the support of Spain and the international community as a whole. With regard to security, we are concerned by the increase in insurgent violence and terrorist acts, whose perpetrators clearly hold Afghanistan and Afghans in contempt.”

“In the three months since the Security Council last met on this issue (see S/PV.7403), there has been continued progress of the Afghan Government, which I welcome, on the road of reform and the consolidation of the gains already made, in accordance with the will of the Afghan people, expressed through the ballot box. It is essential to continue on that road. I would like to reiterate once again Spain's support for President Ghani and the national unity Government. We also welcome the fact that the process of forming the Government and appointing the remaining high-level positions is nearing completion, and I listened with particular interest to Ambassador Tanin's words regarding the participation of women in that process.”

“The Security Council and the members of the international community must therefore be more united than ever in their condemnation. As the Security Council's penholder on Afghanistan, Spain is circulating a draft press release that we trust will be adopted today. My statement will focus on five main areas related to Afghanistan: first, recent developments, the Government and the elections; secondly, security matters; thirdly, questions related to reconciliation; fourthly, the situation in the region and its new involvement in the country; and, fifthly, the Tripartite Commission. Before I move on, I should say that Spain aligns itself with the statement to be made later by the representative of the European Union.”

“Mr. Oyarzun Marchesi (Spain) (Spoke in Spanish): I would like to thank the Secretary-General's Special Representative and Ambassador Tanin for their outstanding presentations. I would like to begin my statement today by condemning this morning's deplorable attack in Kabul against the parliament of Afghanistan. My condemnation is twofold: first, because it was an attack on innocent people; and, secondly, because it was an attack on all of Afghan society and on all ofthe country's parliamentary groups, which, I would recall, were democratically elected. It took place at a particularly important moment, because those groups were deciding on the appointment of the new Minister of Defence and agreeing on the extension of the parliament's legislative functions.”

“I call on all Council Member States, as well as non-Member States, to contribute to this important process. In conclusion, I wish to thank all those who provided support to the Committee and made it possible to carry out its programme of work, either through voluntary and financial contributions - such as by Andorra, Kazakhstan, Norway, the Republic of Korea and the United States of America 4 or by organizations such as the European Union and private foundations such as the Carnegie Corporation of New York. I also wish to give very special thanks to the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs for its constant support.”

“Thirdly, as part of the comprehensive review process, we will seekways ofimproving the Committee's cooperation with international organizations related to the scope ofthe 1540 Committee's work. When it comes to regional organizations, we should identify better ways to support them in order to set up networks of focal points for the 1540 Committee - as I mentioned earlier, for example, by instituting training courses. Lastly, the review should also focus on the work of outreach using publications and other means of communication in a timely fashion. We are preparing a work calendar for the review prior to December 2016, which will of course include opportunities to hear the views of all Member States, as well as for the holding of consultations with international organizations and civil society.”

“It is important to note that, on 28 April, the Committee agreed on a modalities document - which is available on the website - that details the comprehensive review process. Let me highlight a few highlights of the process. First, the Committee will analyse the data included in the reports presented by States and provide an overview on the status of the implementation of the resolution and the major implementation trends since 2009. That analysis will make it possible for us to introduce improvements. Secondly, the Committee will look into its role in matchmaking and requests and offers assistance, while considering ways to ensure that such assistance is provided promptly.”

“I should now like to touch upon the comprehensive review of the status of the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). I reiterate that the full text of my statement that has been distributed contains a much more detailed explanation. First, as Chair of the 1540 Committee, I have taken good note of the interesting comments and observations made by the delegation of Venezuela. In the opinion of the Committee, the comprehensive review should be retrospective. Above all, however, it also should look towards the future. It should be based on an analysis of the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) on the basis of the review carried out in 2009. The aim should be to improve effectiveness and implementation on the part of Member States.”

“We are working as well to encourage the participation of the 19 States that have not yet presented their regular reports. We have stepped up contacts with regional and international organizations to that end. One good example is the recent visit I made as Chair of the 1540 Committee to Vienna, where I met senior officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, among other agencies. Lastly, with regard to transparency, transparency and outreach are vital for the effective implementation of the resolution. The Committee is therefore looking for better ways of using social networks, social media and other means of communication. For example, we now issue quarterly Chair messages to the entire network related to the 1540 Committee.”

“It is also very important that States carry out the so-called national action plans, which are completely voluntary, but nonetheless very useful. Secondly, I would like to underscore the national focal points, which resolution 1540 (2004) provides for. They are absolutely fundamental to our work. A training course for national focal points has been provided so that they may better carry out their functions. Thirdly, we are trying to improve the system of assistance to strengthen the national capacity of States that request assistance to raise the levels of compliance with resolution 1540 (2004). We are working with regional and international organizations to that end. Fourthly, with regard to outreach, it is important that the 1540 Committee maintain direct contact with Member States.”

“However, I assure the Council that my Mission's team, in cooperation with all Security Council members, has tried to do its best. I will highlight five relevant aspects of the 1540 Committee since the last report was presented (see S/PV.7319). First is the system of reporting. At present, 174 States have submitted their reports. In other words, 90 per cent of Member States have submitted the basic reports on their structures for the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. However, despite the importance of the basic reports, it is crucial that States also submit the so-called additional reports, which are voluntary and make it possible for us to get a more detailed and more realistic idea of what is happening in the area of non-proliferation.”

“Mr. Oyarzun Marchesi (Spain) (spoke in Spanish): I shall now speak in my capacity as Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004). Instead of reading out the long and detailed report being circulated in the Chamber now, I will give a brief summary highlighting its main ideas. I do not need to explain to anyone the proliferation risks we face today. Now more than ever, non-State actors and terrorist groups are prepared to use chemical and biological weapons and even nuclear weapons and extreme violence. The global threat affects us all, and all States must comply with resolution 1540 (2004). All States are threatened. I have not been Chair of the 1540 Committee for very long - only since 1 January.”

“They also include improving coordination in implementing projects within the framework of the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force, particularly through the various thematic working groups; coordinating approaches to donor States and assistance providers, and the joint evaluation of outcomes; considering the possibility of developing joint assistance packages for States at their request and where necessary; enhancing joint interaction, particularly with non-reporting States, in their fulfilment of their reporting obligations under the relevant resolutions; cooperating on input into the 1540 Committee's 2016 comprehensive implementation review, as required under resolution 1977 (2011); and, in cooperation with other United Nations counter- terrorism entities, enhancing the work between the Al-Qaida Monitoring Team and Executive Directorate on measures that can improve the implementation of resolution 2199 (2015).”

The work of the three Committees, when taken as a whole, presents opportunities for additional synergies, which, once fully realized, would have a multiplier effect on achieving outcomes. It should be possible to achieve such improved results while also respecting the independence of the respective Expert Groups and their mandates. On the basis of current coordination and joint cooperation, each of the three Committee's staff and Expert Groups are committed to advancing cooperation in a number of areas.”

The Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate closely consulted with the Monitoring Team in preparing that report. In April 2015, the Monitoring Team attended an expert briefing organized by the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate on the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.”

The Monitoring Team and the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate have also continued their leading roles in their respective Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force working groups. The 1540 Committee Group of Experts participated in the Working Group on Border Management Relating to Counter-Terrorism and the Working Group on Preventing and Responding to Weapons of Mass Destruction Attacks.

In that context, the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate and the Monitoring Team provided joint comments to Tanzania and Uganda concerning their respective draft laws on the implementation of the two resolutions' asset freezing requirements and the implementation of financial measures.

With regard to cooperation with international, regional and subregional organizations, the Counter- Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate and the 1267 Committee Monitoring Team continued their close cooperation in countering money laundering and the of financing of terrorism, in particular by freezing terrorist assets. It should be highlighted that the Monitoring Team represented the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate at the twenty-first plenary meeting of the Middle East and North Africa Financial Task Force held in Oman in April.”

“At the institutional level, that also encourages inter-agency support for national implementation initiatives, coordinates the delivery of technical assistance based on States' specific needs and acts as an early-warning mechanism. The focal point submitted a progress report to the Counter-Terrorism Committee on 18 December 2014. In February 2015, the Security Council adopted resolution 2199 (2015) to stem the financing ofterrorists through the illicit oil trade. The resolution has made a major contribution to consolidating international efforts to counter the threat posed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham (ISIS) and Al-Nusra Front. However, the level of reporting has thus far been insufficient.”

“Joint participation in country Visits continues to contribute to improving cooperation and exchange of information among the three Expert Groups and ensures that the Groups transmit a single message and present a unified position to Member States. As a means for strengthening cooperation, the Groups of Experts continued to coordinate their country Visits and dissemination activities. The Executive Directorate of the Anti-Terrorism Committee and the Expert Group ofthe 1540 Committee share a focal point in the Caribbean that works with Member States in the region to strengthen dialogue with both Committees and to increase awareness and understanding of the provisions of resolutions 1373 (2001), 1540 (2004), 1624 (2005) and 2178 (2014).”

“Since November 2014, the three Groups of Experts have been represented in more than a dozen workshops and other activities of dissemination; at least two of those Groups participated in additional meetings. Since the previous briefing (see S/PV.7331), the three Groups of Experts have continued to cooperate within the context of official visits to Member States. For example, in April, the Monitoring Team and the Group of Experts of the 1540 Committee joined the follow-up visit to Uzbekistan by the Executive Directorate of the Anti-Terrorism Committee on behalf of that Committee. In May, the Group of Experts of the 1540 Committee accompanied the Executive Directorate of the Anti-Terrorism Committee on a specific visit to Italy that took place on behalf of the Anti-Terrorism Committee.”

“Since the last time the Council received updated information, the three Committees have continued to cooperate on dissemination carried out within the frameworks of their respective mandates; have strengthened their cooperation with international, regional and subregional organizations; and have conducted joint visits, increased their exchange of information, coordinated their activities with respect to travel and planning, and established a common focal point. I would like to provide more detailed information on the areas of increased cooperation. Dissemination activities and country visits are important tools that enable the three Committees to fulfil their respective mandates.”

“Terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and the risk of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction on the part of non-State actors continue to pose a grave threat to international peace and security. In order to address that grave threat, the Security Council has stressed the importance of close and effective coordination among the Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee, the Anti-Terrorism Committee and the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004).”

“Like the Ambassador of New Zealand, I would also like to refer to the disturbing situation regarding respect for human rights and the serious violations that we have seen. I trust that there will be no situation ofimpunity, as has been the case in other parts of the globe. With respect to the OSCE, I will make two brief comments. Spain is concerned by the difficulties that the OSCE Mission is encountering in complying with its obligations, and we would like it to share, without delay, the information that has been requested. Spain also supports the extension of the OSCE mandate. Hopefully, it will enjoy access to an area somewhat larger than the 1 per cent to which the Ambassador of Lithuania referred.”
