  1. “With the valuable cooperation of all Member States, I expect that to become a reality no later than in the first days of the new year.”

  2. “The world expects the United Nations to exercise leadership in the global campaign against this scourge, and I will exert all possible efforts to ensure that the Executive Directorate, which I am honoured to head, is up to the circumstances and responds fully to the wishes of the international community in this regard. I wish to conclude by once again expressing my gratitude for the support that I have received from all the members of the CTC, with whom, I trust, I will continue to work in a very close and fruitful manner in this period of transition, and also when the Executive Directorate is fully operational. We have before us a very important task with expectations that we cannot disappoint. Resolution 1566 (2004), adopted a few days ago by the Council, signalled how urgent it is that the CTED become fully operational.”

  3. “In that regard, dialogue with Member States will be intensified to identify their needs and try to obtain for them the assistance they require. Periodic evaluations and country visits would be a valuable element in orienting our work and obtaining the desired results. In this task, the action taken by international organizations will play a relevant role, as they can not only help detect the needs of States but also coordinate assistance. It is only in that way that we can begin to close the gap and make more difficult, day by day, the deadly and destructive work of the terrorists.”

  4. “Those resolutions have come to reinforce the measures put forward in resolution 1373 (2001), which can be considered as the cornerstone of United Nations action against terrorism. The Council has been tailoring its actions to the new challenges before it, while reiterating the connection between organized crime or the trafficking of weapons - including weapons of mass destruction - and terrorism, and the need to broaden cooperation not only among Member States, but also with international, regional and subregional organizations. For those reasons, the Executive Directorate will redouble its efforts to encourage Member States to comply fully with the obligations before them, so that they will be armed with the legal and administrative tools to confront the threat of terrorism, in full conformity to international law.”

  5. “At the same time, I have been invited to participate in various forums, which has given me the opportunity to discuss the efforts of the United Nations against terrorism and which has placed the Organization at the centre, where the initiatives put forward by the international community in this regard should converge. I do not wish to end my statement without giving the Council a brief idea of what the Executive Directorate's first steps will be once it is fully operational. As manifested by the recent adoption of resolutions 1535 (2004), 1540 (2004) and 1566 (2004) by the Council, the fight against terrorism has the preferential attention of the international community.”

  6. “I would certainly add the CTC itself and its Chairman, Ambassador Denisov, to my list of thanks, as they have been extremely useful in helping me in my work as Executive Director. Similarly, I have initiated contacts with international organizations of primary relevance to our future work, such as the International Monetary Fund, the Organization of American States, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the African Union, the European Union, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the International Atomic Energy Agency.”

  7. “That plan, after due consideration, was endorsed by the Committee and was communicated to the President of the Council on 6 August. The Council approved the plan on 12 August, as Ambassador Denisov has just pointed out. As of that moment, my primary preoccupation was the preparation of the budget and other administrative arrangements to enable the contracting of experts and other personnel who would be integrated into the Executive Directorate. I wish to express my gratitude for the support given to me in that process by the Office of the Secretary-General, the Department of Political Affairs and the human resources and budget offices of the Department of Management, among others. All of them have greatly facilitated my work.”

  8. “Mr. Ruperez: First, Mr. President, please allow me to thank you and the other members of the Security Council for the opportunity to address the Council. As this is the first time I have taken the floor since I have assumed my duties, I would like to take this opportunity to tell the Council of the steps I have taken to put the Counter-Terrorism Executive Directorate in motion. As members know, on 18 May of this year, I had the honour of being appointed Executive Director by the Secretary-General, with the support of the Council, and I officially assumed my duties on 29 June. In fulfilment of resolution 1535 (2004), on 29 July the Secretary-General presented to the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) my proposed organizational plan for the Executive Directorate.”
