  1. Recently, Europe has also faced violations of State borders, broad civilian casualties and the destruction of democratic institutions. If we want to stop that global trend, we must truly act together. Today, in adopting resolution 2178 (2014), we have not only condemned foreign terrorist fighters, but also called upon all States to take measures to stop them. Additionally, we must understand that to keep ISIL's ideology from spreading even further, we must ensure viable Iraqi State institutions, tackle the humanitarian situation and help regional States to fight terrorism themselves. Finally, Lithuania reaffirms its full commitment to support all efforts in the fight against terrorism throughout the world.

  2. President Grybauskaite: During the past month we have witnessed shocking developments in the world, including virtually open warfare in various parts of the planet. It is sad, but we must speak not only of simple military actions but also of a collision of ideologies and sometimes even of civilizations. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is led by an ideology of hatred and madness that includes ethnic and religious cleansing and disrespect for all minorities and different people. Today we are dealing with a phenomenon that crosses State boundaries and even destroys States. Moreover, fighters from other countries are becoming ever more involved. Unfortunately, foreign terrorist fighters can be found not only in ISIL.
