  1. “Unfortunately, the position of the SCO and of the Collective Security Treaty Organization and the Commonwealth of Independent States with regard to the illegal annexation of parts of the territory of Ukraine puts their impartiality in question. Their lack of will to take the appropriate measures to respond to the aforementioned conflict, as well as the conflict in Georgia in 2008, unfortunately casts a shadow on the organizations' contribution to the promotion of peace, security and stability. In that light, I would like to reiterate that so long as there is no common approach with regard to issues of such fundamental importance to the global architecture, the cooperation of the United Nations with such partners in combating terrorism will be disputable.”

  2. “It should be recalled that regional organizations truly play their role only when they reflect the interests of all their members and are not used as a tool for the domination of a few. Let us not forget that regional organizations willing to cooperate with the United Nations in combating terrorism need to abide by and promote among themselves and their member States all the principles of the United Nations, including the principles of the inviolability of State borders, the recognition of existing borders and the rejection of unlawful territorial annexations. Let us reiterate also that international law imposes the obligation of the non-recognition of the legal effects of illegal acts.”

  3. “Without clarity on this and without full respect for such basic rules, it would be difficult to define the goal of potential cooperation. The United Nations must avoid any deviation from its own basic rules. The common objective of the States members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is counteracting separatism, extremism and terrorism. SCO member States assert that they respect the pivotal role of the United Nations system and of the World Trade Organization in shaping the global order politically and economically, and hence it is justified to expect the SCO member States to engage in accommodating the activities of both these universal organizations to present challenges and requirements.”

  4. “Strong and coordinated action by the United Nations and regional organizations in combating terrorism has significant potential to strengthen the responsiveness and agility of the international community. Poland strongly supports close cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations and plays an active role in such cooperation with, among others, the European Union, NATO, the Council of Europe and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. It is of utmost importance, however, that the spirit and principles of the United Nations be at the top of any activities and decisions taken by all stakeholders. Regional organizations will contribute to international peace and security only if they act as honest brokers whose actions are the result of consensus between all their member States.”

  5. “The United Nations not only has the responsibility to act decisively on its own but also should step up its efforts by reaching out to other actors. Bearing in mind the central role of the United Nations in combating terrorism, cooperation with regional organizations in that regard is not only possible, as stipulated in Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations, but clearly welcome. It not only helps to promote good governance, the rule of law and other democratic values but also fosters regional cooperation in economic, political and security affairs, leading to the establishment of sustainable peace and prosperity. Regional organizations, as they have a narrower geographical focus, may sometimes better understand regional specificities and better address specific challenges locally.”

  6. “There is no doubt that combating terrorism in all its forms is one of the major challenges that the international community faces. In today's global world, terrorism, alongside organized crime, the illegal trade in weapons and trafficking, poses a major threat to international peace and security. There is also no doubt that terrorism is constantly evolving and that combating it always requires new approaches, mechanisms and tools. Cyberterrorism and foreign terrorist fighters have become challenges that need to be addressed in a comprehensive and concrete manner. Terrorism can be effectively and ultimately eradicated only when there is the common will and determination of all stakeholders to do their part. The unique role of the United Nations in combating terrorism is undisputed.”
