  1. “Seven decades ago, the founders of the United Nations defeated the totalitarian threat and envisioned a world of peace that puts humanity first. The Council is a guardian of our rights and dignity as humans. It must meet head on the challenge ofviolent extremism and the foreign fighters who spread it. In the effort to stem the threat, it will always find in Korea a committed partner.”

  2. “That is why international efforts to prevent nuclear terrorism must be stepped up. In that regard, I wish to acknowledge President Obama's leadership in proposing a summit on nuclear security five years ago in this very Chamber (see S/PV.6l9l). Today, the global regime for nuclear security is becoming stronger, thanks to summit meetings in Washington, Seoul and The Hague. In the same vein, may this meeting today help to rally our collective resolve, and may it kick-start concrete international actions against the new scourge of foreign fighters. The fight against faceless and nameless terrorists without borders will not be easy. But we also know that terrorizing human dignity and humankind is a strategy that is doomed to fail.”

  3. “Eliminating poverty and ensuring sustainable development are essential if we are to address the root causes ofterrorism. Korea is a partner in this campaign. We are increasing our official development assistance to the least developed countries and are providing humanitarian aid to countries threatened by ISIL and foreign fighters. We must go further. We must remain ever vigilant against cyberterrorism and nuclear terrorism and the utter chaos and destruction that they could unleash. All too often cyberspace is used to finance, recruit for and incite radical violence. We must prevent cyberspace from becoming not only the target of terror but also a tool of terror. Nuclear terrorism, however unthinkable, is also a possibility. The post-9/ll world has already seen terrorist groups seeking nuclear materials.”

  4. “There can never be any excuse for trampling the norms of humanity and for the random killing of women and children. They go against what Islam stands for, what civilization stands for, and what humanity stands for. Foreign terrorist fighters serve as their minions. They slip across borders to spread terror. They are a scourge to humankind. Today's milestone resolution 2178 (2014) highlights the need for greater cooperation to better roll back the threat. That includes information-sharing, border control, tackling violent extremism and law enforcement. Korea will thoroughly implement such measures. Those involved will be brought sternly to justice and their funding blocked. Nor can we neglect the more fundamental approach of dealing with conditions that are conducive to terrorism.”

  5. “President Park Geun-Hye: We are here today to tap into our collective wisdom as we take on an emerging challenge to peace and security in our world. The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and terrorist fighters from around the globe are endangering Iraq. That is not simply a threat to one country or one region. It affects us all. Today's meeting, coming as it does soon after President Obama's ISIL strategy and the most recent action, could not have come at a better time. The events of 9/11 brought the fight against terrorism to the top of the global agenda - a cause that the Council has been key to advancing. For Koreans, ISIL's brutal slaughter of innocent people is an appalling reminder of a similar fate that befell one of our own citizens 10 years ago.”
