  1. “The presidency has received requests by several delegations to make further statements. It is my intention to accede to those requests. However, I would ask each delegation to limit itself to one additional statement. I now give the floor to the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic to make a further statement.”

  2. “I propose that the Council invite the Permanent Observer of the Observer State of Palestine to the United Nations to participate in this meeting, in accordance with the provisional rules of procedure and the previous practice in that regard. There being no objection, it is so decided. I now give the floor to the Permanent Observer of the Observer State of Palestine to the United Nations.”

  5. “Governments should engage with civil society to address the problems of communities that are most at risk of radicalization and recruitment and to achieve such communities' satisfactory social integration. Certain terrorist groups have excelled in the art of cyber recruitment, giving them transnational and borderless reach. Their access to cyberspace must be denied in order to prevent their narratives and ideologies from poisoning the hearts and minds of millions everywhere, cut off their financing activities and disrupt their coordination of terrorist attacks. The Holy See is convinced that ifwe are to win the minds and hearts of our children and young people and prevent them from joining terrorist groups, we must build inclusive societies and prevent illicit trafficking in arms.”

  6. “There is a strong nexus between religion and diplomacy and between faith-based informal diplomacy and the formal diplomacy of States. Strengthening that nexus would be wise diplomacy, given its enormous potential for confronting terrorism at its roots. Measures to counter the narratives and ideologies of terrorism must address the root causes on which it feeds, and which make even the most outrageous claims of terrorist groups sound credible. Young people who join the ranks of terrorist organizations often come from poor immigrant families disillusioned by the lack of integration and values in some societies. Those who feel excluded from such societies or live on their fringes are immediately attracted to terrorists proclaiming themselves to be freedom fighters.”

  7. “We commend the Marrakesh Declaration on the Rights of Religious Minorities in Predominantly Muslim Majority Communities for urging Muslim educational institutions and authorities to conduct a courageous review of educational curricula that addresses honestly and effectively any material that instigates aggression and extremism, leads to war and chaos and results in the destruction of our shared societies. My delegation believes that the more religion is manipulated to justify acts of terror and violence, the more religious leaders must be engaged in the overall effort to defeat the terrorism that hijacks it. Spurious religious fervour must be countered by authentic religious instruction and the example of authentic communities of faith.”

  8. “Religious leaders must be the first to demonstrate what the fourth meeting of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue and the Royal Institute for Inter-Faith Studies of Amman, held in the Vatican on 7 May, called the humanizing and civilizing role of our religions. That brings us to the fundamental importance of education in countering narratives and ideologies of terrorism. Much of terror groups' success in recruiting is based on misinformation and the distortion both of history and the meaning of sacred texts. Objective education can counter such false narratives.”

  9. “Religious leaders and people of faith must be at the forefront in delegitimizing the manipulation of faith and the distortion of sacred texts as ajustification for violence. Anyone who considers himself or herself a believer while planning and carrying out actions against the fundamental rights and dignity of every man and woman must be condemned. The fight to unmask the lies behind the narratives and ideologies of present-day terrorist groups summons all religions to unite in confronting not only the unacceptable misuse of religion by these groups, but also all forms of religious bigotry, stereotyping and disrespect for what people hold sacred.”

  10. “They do not attempt to conceal their purportedly religiously inspired beliefs, values and principles. Terrorist groups identify multiple enemies, so that those who respond to their propaganda can legitimately attack those enemies wherever they may be, whether in Paris or in Brussels, in Istanbul, in Aleppo, in Baghdad, or elsewhere. Countering the narratives and ideologies of terrorist groups is a grave responsibility of all of us. It should be recalled, however, that by building their ideological narratives that justify their horrendous acts of violence with tendentious interpretations and an abusive use of scripture texts, terrorists groups are throwing down the gauntlet principally to religious leaders, in particular for them to refute the falsehoods and condemn the blasphemies and narratives of those ideologies.”

  11. “In accordance with rule 39 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite the observer of the Holy See to the United Nations to participate in this meeting. I now give the floor to the observer of the Holy See. Brother Carroll (Holy See): The Holy See thanks the presidency of Egypt for bringing the topic of countering the narratives and ideologies of terrorism to the attention of the Security Council and the international community. The theme of this open debate is extremely important, because it calls us to strike terrorism at its very roots and where it must primarily be fought, namely, in the hearts and minds of men and women, in particular of those who are most at risk ofradicalization and recruitment by terrorist groups. The narratives and ideologies of present-day terrorist groups are well known.”

Delegations with lengthy statements are kindly requested to circulate the texts in writing and to deliver a condensed version when speaking in the Chamber. I would also like to appeal to speakers to deliver their statements at a reasonable speed so that interpretation may be provided accurately. I wish to inform all concerned that we will be carrying on this open debate right through the lunch hour, as we have a very large number of speakers. I now give the floor to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.”

  15. “Let us work together to elevate the voice of truth, justice and tolerance above the voice of terrorism, extremism and hate. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I will now give the floor to other members of the Security Council. I give the floor to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of New Zealand.”

  16. “Presidential statement S/PRST/2016/6, adopted by the Council today, and the tireless efforts of the General Assembly are a crucial comprehensive framework to implement those proposals and objectives. I thank the members of the Council for cooperating with the Egyptian initiative and invite them, along with all Members of the Untied Nations, to immediately agree on a specific framework of implementation based on the provisions of the presidential statement. Our voice in confronting terrorism must be firm. We must stand united. The message of the entire world to terrorists must be clear and resounding. It must affirm that terrorists are the enemies of humankind, that they do not represent any religion, that their downfall is at hand and that their messages and ideologies run counter to logic, human nature and any and all creeds.”

  17. “That includes stepping up efforts to halt the financing that terrorist groups require to disseminate their terrorist messages and ideologies. Fourthly, we must promote the role that the media can play in combating the narratives and ideologies of terrorism groups. Fifthly, we need to emphasize the role that civil society can play in different countries in the context of national laws in combating the narratives and ideologies of terrorist groups. Sixthly, we need to cooperate and harmonize our ongoing efforts at the national, regional and international levels to combat the messages and ideologies of terrorist groups in order to avoid contradictions and inconsistencies. We must also enhance cooperation among countries in that regard and provide the necessary technical assistance, capacity-building and financial resources, upon request.”

  18. “First, we must take advantage of the active efforts of moderate religious institutions and build upon such efforts, both by refuting the messages and ideologies used by terrorist groups and by highlighting and explaining the interpretations of the true concepts of religions. In that regard, I wish to underline the substantial efforts undertaken in several countries around the world by Al Azhar and the Egyptian Dar Al-Ifta. Secondly, it is important for countries and societies, including in the West, to reaffirm that terrorism is not linked to any religion, culture or people. Thirdly, national legislation must be enacted to criminalize the spread of terrorist messages and ideologies without infringing on the principle of freedom of expression.”

  19. “I must also stress the importance of confronting the phenomenon of Islamophobia, which contributes to the spread of extremist thought and increased recruitment by terrorist organizations of young people from Muslim minorities in Western countries. We must review many integration policies and confront hate speech and insults aimed at the symbols and sanctities of the Islamic faith under the guise of free speech. We believe that, to be successful, the action required of the Council and the international community in general must incorporate guidelines aimed, among other things, at the following.”

  20. “They adopt such ideologies as the basis for their activities, narrative and media messages, which are based on animosity and the rejection of society - distorted concepts that contradict the spirit ofIslam, which rejects isolationism and extremism and embraces a magnanimous message of acceptance and diversity. The message of Islam, in fact, solidified the principles of tolerance, peaceful coexistence and respect for human rights. Furthermore, I would highlight the fact that the exploitation by terrorist groups of the technological revolution represented by online communication platforms and social media is one ofthe major factors that has enabled them to disseminate their messages and ideologies in an unprecedented manner.”

  21. “The international community must also be firm and decisive in dealing with the military, financial and political support that some countries and partners provide to those terrorist organizations. Such support constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and relevant Security Council resolutions. All of us must increase our coordination and cooperation in order to dry up those sources of support. A thorough reading of the history and activities of those organizations confirms the absence of core ideological divergences among them. All of them adhere to the same extremist ideologies espoused by the thinkers of terrorism, the takfiri ideology and violence, including Sayyid Qutb.”

  22. “It would be a mistake to believe that the passing oftime or the outbreak of other conflicts will overshadow this one or result in the imposition of an unjust resolution that does not grant the Palestinians their rights like all other peoples. Those who claim that the occupation of Arab lands will not give rise to popular reaction that would prolong the crisis, to the benefit extremist organizations in the region, are also sadly mistaken. Egypt has always stressed that the fight against international terrorism can succeed only if we adopt a non-selective approach that seriously and objectively addresses the roots of that phenomenon and all its elements by decisively confronting all terrorist organizations equally and combatting the extremist ideologies that give rise to terrorism and violence and those who propagate them.”

  23. “Africa, which Egypt has the honour of representing in the Security Council, also suffers from the malaise of terrorist organizations, such as Al-Qaida and Boko Haram, that are present in various parts of the continent, including North Africa, where Da'esh has for some time controlled the strategic Libyan city of Sirte, located on the shores of the Mediterranean, opposite the coast of Europe. The passage of 70 years since the eruption of the Arab-Israeli conflict does not make it irrelevant, as it remains the most crucial issue in our region. The decades-long failure to take action to resolve this conflict has deepened and exacerbated the main factors behind the region's instability and the rise of terrorism.”

  24. “The ramifications of that state of affairs are evident and clear, with all they entail with regard to the manifold cruelties inflicted upon the innocent people of the region. In that regard, I recall the Syrian tragedy, in which terrorist organizations have proliferated and prospered. I urgently stress the need to bring an end to that tragedy as soon as possible through cooperation between the States members of the International Syrian Support Group and the Security Council, given the Council's authority to end the suffering of the fraternal Syrian people.”

  25. “Internationally, there is an imbalance in the international system, as reflected in the dwindling adherence to the concept of the State in the Middle East and the Arab region in the wake of the Iraq war. In our region, which has been negatively affected by the ambitions of forces in the Middle East looking to expand their influence at the expense of Arab States, and in the resulting increase in regional tensions, as well as the emergence of extremist and terrorist organizations seeking to fill the vacuum of authority in large region within States in the region. We also have to deal with the illusions of regional and international Powers that aim to classify such organizations to suit their political goals.”

  26. “Confronting the rising tide of terrorism, which we believe is one of the major threats to international peace and security today, is also an obligation. Ifwe do not all share that obligation, overcoming the challenge will be very difficult. I would like to ask the Council to stand for a moment in memory of the souls of the victims of those dastardly attacks. The members of the Security Council observed a minute ofsilence. During his address at the April Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi said that the international system has become flawed. In order to address that issue, we must, of course, examine the factors behind it.”

  27. “The international community, and the United Nations in particular, must make the issue a top priority in the context of its counter-terrorism efforts. I would also like to welcome our speakers today. The day before I left for New York, a dastardly assassination took the lives of eight policemen in Cairo. That serves as a reminder that terrorism is no longer constrained by borders, since the twisted doctrine that murdered those Egyptian officers who were defending their citizens is the very same one that has claimed Victims among concertgoers in Paris and travellers at the Brussels airport. Solidarity with every human soul is an obligation, regardless of whether those souls come from a European, an Arab or an African country.”

I thank Council members for their valuable contributions to it. In accordance with the understanding reached among the members of the Council, I shall take it that they agree to the statement, which will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/2016/6. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs of Egypt. I would like at the outset to express my gratitude to everyone here for the assistance and support extended to the Egyptian presidency of the Security Council this month, and for their participation in today's important discussion on combating the messages and ideologies of terrorist groups.”
