  1. “The call was made by the CSTO Council of Foreign Ministers in May and circulated here at the United Nations. We still hope that that call will be heard.”

  2. “If we take a comprehensive global and regional approach to issues of international security, including the issue of fighting terrorism, it is important to make sure that we do not see those elements as opposites other, but rather find links between the general and the specific. In conclusion, as the international community - international and regional organizations in particular - consolidate their efforts to counter terrorism, I would like to ask the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the States members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to consider and respond to the open letter of the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the States of the CSTO calling for increasing trust and fostering cooperation on issues related to countering global threats and challenges.”

  3. “In that connection, we would like to express our gratitude for the appraisal of the work done by the CSTO in the implementation of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism strategy, as set out in resolution 73/331, on cooperation between the United Nations and the Collective Security Treaty Organization. We see great potential in ensuring security in the area of responsibility of the CSTO to consolidate the efforts of international and regional organizations. Sometimes, however, at the political level, actors and regions behave in a manner that is more autonomous, which means that various processes in certain regions are less unified than one would think. Figuratively speaking, just as we look at small-scale maps, we also need to look at more detailed, large-scale maps and see the bigger picture.”

  4. “We are by and large pleased with the way our cooperation with the United Nations Office of Counter- Terrorism is developing, as well as that with Counter- Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, within the framework of existing memorandums, and we advocate for the broadening of such cooperation. We deem it useful and effective to have contacts with the Security Council Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015) concerning ISIL (Da'esh), Al-Qaida and associated individuals, groups, undertakings and entities; the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1373 (2001) concerning counter-terrorism; and the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1988 (2011).”

  5. “The main lesson that we can draw from our experience in countering terrorism is that we need to enhance our collective efforts to fight terrorism, without double standards or exceptions, on the basis of the strict implementation of Security Council anti-terrorism resolutions and the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. We believe that here it is important to act in line with the Code of Conduct towards Achieving a World Free of Terrorism, which was initiated by Kazakhstan at the opening of the seventy-third session of the General Assembly (see A/73/PV.13) and acknowledged by most countries.”

  6. “In particular, the Council of Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Council of Defense Ministers and the Committee of Secretaries of Security Councils prepared, for the consideration of our Heads of State in November, a list of additional measures aimed at lowering tensions on the border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan. At the same time, we enhanced our work on developing and accepting a targeted inter-State programme on strengthening the border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Security issues in Central Asia are also reflected in the updated plan of the collective activities of CSTO States aimed at implementing the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy for the 2019-2021 period.”

  7. “The CSTO Permanent Council, in a statement adopted in November 2018, determined that one of the organization's priority aims was to enhance joint efforts to combat terrorism and extremism. Recently we have noted with concern that efforts have been made by certain forces to relocate their terrorist activities to Central Asia and Afghanistan, towards the southern CSTO borders, as made clear by the various terrorist acts committed in Afghanistan. We were therefore compelled to react in order to ensure the security of our States in the region.”

  8. “We believe that in order to promote international cooperation in stemming the spread of terrorist ideology and propaganda, in line with Security Council resolutions 1624 (2005) and 2354 (2017), we must pool our efforts in the area of information security. We attach special attention to the development and acceptance, under the auspices of the United Nations, of universal norms and principles of responsible conduct in the area of information. Despite the measures we have undertaken in order to combat terrorism regionally, the States members of the CSTO, as well as other countries, are increasingly encountering new forms of terrorism and tactics used by terrorists.”

  9. “We can already state that as a result, the operation was effective, necessary and timely and made a direct contribution to the implementation of Security Council resolutions 2178 (2014) and 2396 (2017). We view the measures that I have just listed as best practices elaborated by the CSTO, as corroborated by the fact that our activities have been of interest to United Nations agencies, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, as well as those of individual States, especially in the area of countering drug trafficking. They all participated actively in the organization and implementation of those activities and monitored them.”

  10. “In order to enhance our efforts to counter terrorism, we are working on coming up with a single list of terrorist organizations recognized as such in our States; the scope and importance of this work is impossible to overemphasize. We are also reacting to the threat of the return to their countries of origin from the Middle East of foreign terrorist fighters trained by terrorist groups and who have participated in their activities. To that end, last year we conducted Operation Mercury, whose goal was to block terrorist recruitment channels and fighters' entry into and exit from our countries with the goal of participation in terrorist activities, and to neutralize the resource base of terrorist organizations in CSTO areas.”

  11. “In order to prevent international terrorists from using information and communication technologies, including for the purpose of recruiting new members, we conduct an annual operation aimed at countering crimes committed through the use of such technologies. In the course of such an operation in 2018, we identified more than 10,000 sources that disseminate information serving the interests of terrorist and extremist organizations. Given the threat posed by international terrorist organizations, we enhanced our collective rapid- reaction force, adding special units dedicated to the fight against terrorism. In the course of exercises involving that force, we focus closely on counter- terrorism activities.”

  12. “Given that trafficking in illegal drugs and weapons, as well as illegal migration, fuel the activities of terrorists and extremists, we have increased the effectiveness of our annual special preventive activities, for example Canal, aimed at combating drug trafficking, and Nelegal, aimed at curbing illegal migration. In the course of these operations, in 2018 we seized more than 16 tons of drugs, including various kinds of synthetic drugs. We also confiscated 470 weapons of various types. We apprehended 443 people who had been wanted internationally, of whom 30 had links to terrorist and extremist activities.”

  13. “In terms of steps to pool the efforts of the international community, we deem very important the fact that Mr. Antonio Guterres placed the combat against terrorism high on his list of priorities as Secretary- General and singled out as a key area in this respect the need to undertake broad international cooperation. Combating terrorism and extremism is one of the main elements of the activities of the CSTO. In 2016 our Heads of State considered the situation in our area of responsibility and decided to implement a set of measures aimed at countering international terrorism and extremism. These include a number of practical organizational activities as well as political and military measures aimed at developing the CSTO's capacity to combat terrorism, most of which we have already implemented.”

  14. “The resolution states, inter alia, that in the 25 years since the signing of the Collective Security Treaty, the Collective Security Treaty Organization has transformed into a multifunctional structure with the potential to provide an adequate response to a wide range of threats and challenges within the area of its responsibility. Joint efforts are particularly necessary today against the backdrop of potential major conflict, the very real threat of the existing international security architecture being dismantled, a crisis in terms of trust and an atmosphere of confrontation. The world is facing the threat of global terrorism, which now covers a larger geostrategic space and has expanded its subversive activities using new technologies, in particular information and communications technologies and social networks.”

  15. “I wish at the outset to thank the Russian presidency of the Security Council for the invitation to participate in this meeting of the Council. I am convinced that our meeting today will help us to work out additional practical cooperation mechanisms and help to pool the efforts of the United Nations and regional organizations for the purpose of maintaining peace and security. Our organization - the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) - is considered a partner in this kind of interaction, as expressed at the seventy- third session of the General Assembly and set out in resolution 73/331, entitled "Cooperation between the United Nations and the Collective Security Treaty Organization".”
