  1. “Most especially, we hope that the medal will inspire those United Nations and associated personnel who toil in dangerous situations to continue serving the United Nations bravely. And for those few who demonstrate the most breathtaking acts of human courage, this new and rare medal in the name of Captain Mbaye Diagne, together with the universal recognition that will come with it, will represent humankind's ultimate acknowledgment of their selfless devotion to the well-being of others. Finally, Mr. President, I would like to thank you and all the members of the Security Council for the enthusiastic commitment and cooperation all of you have shown in drafting this resolution, in sponsoring it, and in seeing it adopted this morning by consensus.”

  2. “Mbaye was the finest example of what we humans, our human family, can produce, the very best of what we are and what we have, and of whom his family and the people of Senegal must always be very proud. In this context, I am very pleased to see our colleague the Permanent Representative of Senegal, Ambassador Abdou Salam Diallo, with us here this morning. By adopting resolution 2154 (2014), the Security Council not only honours the memory of Captain Mbaye Diagne, but in creating a medal in his name for exceptional courage, we will for the first time in United Nations history recognize publicly those who perform amazing feats in the face of extreme danger on behalf of the United Nations and humankind.”

  3. “I would like to begin by addressing these words to the family of the late Captain Mbaye Diagne. For 20 years, they have grieved the loss of man who once served the United Nations - indeed humankind - with the greatest distinction as a military observer in the United Nations Assistance Mission in Rwanda. That he was never to return alive to his beloved family or to the country he served so well must have brought immense pain, and that no official from the United Nations Headquarters here in New York ever called on his family can only be described as shameful. While I can only speak for my own delegation, I am absolutely sure that everyone here will join me when I say that we are sorry, profoundly sorry, for the way they have been treated by us here at the United Nations. We now recognize, What they have always known.”

  4. “I hope that this meeting will consolidate Member States' commitment to enhancing efforts to implement resolution 1540 (2004).”

  5. “We have taken and enforced a number of legislative and practical steps at the national level to develop local controls designed to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery. Jordan has always favoured accession to relevant multilateral treaties on non-proliferation. We are looking into ratifying the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism. In this connection, we welcome the outcomes and declaration of the international Nuclear Security Summit held recently in The Hague with the participation of 53 leaders, including His Majesty King Abdullah, in the light of Jordan's pioneering role in this area. In conclusion, I wish to reiterate our profuse gratitude to you, Sir.”

  6. “In that regard, the Council should in future follow up on the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) by building regional road maps for implementation by groups of States and not confine monitoring to implementation by individual States. We appreciate the efforts made by the Committee in facilitating the extension of assistance. We also appreciate the efforts made by States and international donor organizations in the provision of technical assistance. We urge those actors to continue their efforts given their benefits for recipient and donor States alike. If we may say so, such assistance should be considered as mutual assistance, given the shared nature of the security environment experienced by States. Jordan has made strides in adhering to the provisions of resolution 1540 (2004) and relevant subsequent resolutions.”

  7. “It is time to think seriously about amending the Committee's mandate to enable it to draw up a list of names of smugglers - non-State actors, entities and individuals - whose persistence in smuggling such materials has been proven and who have demonstrated no desire to refrain from that crime. It is well known that violence in one State may spill over borders into others. We are therefore duty-bound, as is the 1540 Committee, to move from a unilateral approach to tackling States' adherence to and application of the resolution to a comprehensive approach to its implementation from an inclusive perspective.”

  8. “A question comes to mind about facilitating the Committee's mandate, which will come to an end in 2021. Is it not high time for our Council to grant the Committee a permanent mandate like other subsidiary bodies of the Council, taking into consideration the international community's pressing need for the Committee's work? On another score, is it reasonable for the Security Council to play a significant role, through its subsidiary bodies, in the imposition of effective sanctions on terrorists with a view to preserving international peace and security, even though no general mechanism exists to curb the smuggling of materials to be used in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction?”

  9. “Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid Al-Hussein (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, allow me to extend to you, Mr. President, my delegation's gratitude for your leadership and for your organization of this open debate on non-proliferation - a matter of considerable attention and importance - to coincide with the tenth anniversary of resolution 1540 (2004). Similarly, I thank Nigeria for its able leadership of the Council in April. I would also like to thank the Deputy Secretary- General for his comprehensive briefing. My delegation affirms that the important mandate of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) fosters the Council's work with regard to resolution 1540 (2004) in the areas of national implementation, supervision, the provision of assistance, cooperation, awareness-raising and transparency.”
