“In conclusion, I would like to express my country's solidarity with the victims of terrorism and their families, in particular women and children. Chile will continue to support the fight against international terrorism and to promote the human rights of all individuals, thereby contributing to the peace, stability and development of our peoples.”

“We must deal with situations that are conducive to the spread of terrorism, including unresolved protracted conflicts, the absence of the rule of law, human rights violations, discrimination on national, religious or ethnic grounds, political exclusion, social and economic marginalization and a lack of good governance. Chile is and will continue to be a safe and stable country. But we have also faced isolated acts of terrorism that we will defeat, because we will act with decision and because the entire united society condemns and opposes such acts. Our longing for peace, progress and democracy are infinitely stronger than the acts of small groups that do not understand the fundamental meaning of democratic coexistence or the transcendent and universal value of human life.”

“That is undoubtedly a long-term task, on which we must embark without delay. Chile has ratified the 14 international agreements that make up the United Nations legal framework for efforts to combat terrorism. We have supported key Security Council resolutions on that topic. In addition, our country has reaffirmed its commitment to the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, supporting efforts to combat and to prevent that scourge, because we believe that no grounds or situation can excuse or justify acts of terrorism.”

“Only in that way we will achieve lasting and legitimate results, which will be fully supported by our societies. The counter-terrorism measures adopted by States must rigorously respect the rule of law and comply with the obligations derived from human rights law, refugee and international humanitarian law and the Charter of the United Nations. We need to apply timely and effective coercive measures carried out in accordance with international law, but that is not enough. As many previous speakers have said, the underlying causes must also be addressed. The most effective tools include strengthening democratic culture, education, eliminating inequalities and working with the most disadvantaged groups of society - in other words, greater integration and inclusion in our societies.”

“We also feel that international cooperation is key to preventing impunity for those responsible for terrorist acts. In that regard, we call on Member States to strengthen the mechanisms for cooperation. We also support the work being done by the Security Council Sanctions Committees and the Counter-Terrorism Committee, and we urge those committees to continue working closely with all Member States. The democratic development of our countries requires us to deal with terrorist threats decisively and to be alert to new manifestations of this phenomenon. In order to ensure permanent and legitimate achievements we must deal with the problem in all its social complexity, taking into account the three United Nations pillars, peace and international security, sustainable development and the strict respect for human rights.”

“The response ofthe Members ofthe United Nations, and in particular the members of the Security Council, must be timely and effective, devising suitable strategies and mechanisms to prevent foreign terrorist fighters from leaving their countries, crossing their borders and preventing their access to financial resources for their activities. The adoption of resolution 2178 (2014) today responds to that need. It is vital that we act on many fronts at the same time. The role of international cooperation at all levels is decisive. Without it, any strictly national effort will be in vain. Actions are also required at the regional and global levels between our various financial and intelligence services, as well as good practices in preventing terrorism.”

“Ithank the United States for its initiative in organizing this Security Council debate on foreign terrorist fighters. This growing and alarming phenomenon is linked to one of the most serious threats to international peace and security - terrorism, a phenomenon that cannot be associated with any religion, nationality, ethnicity or civilization. Because of the atrocities committed by terrorist groups, such as Boko Haram, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the Al-Nusra Front, which include in their ranks a large number of foreign terrorist fighters, we must take both urgent and preventative measures in the long term to deal with this international threat. The participation of such fighters on an unprecedented scale is aggravating the conflicts, the humanitarian, social and economic crises and human rights violations.”
