1. “In our statement on 29 July 2003, during a public debate in the Council on the same item, we noted that the Monitoring Group had reported on the limitations of the sanctions regime, in particular the continuing ability of Al Qaeda to finance its activities, the ineffectiveness of the travel ban, the continued use of small arms and light weapons and the nexus between drug smuggling and terrorism. Where the report of the Monitoring Team is encouraging is in its recommendations on the ways and means to address the existing limitations. Most of the recommendations appear to be provisional, but could, in our view, form the basis for refinement of the existing measures required to adapt them to the changes in the nature of Al Qaeda/Taliban operations.”

2. “I should like to provide our comments on some aspects of the report of the Monitoring Team. The assessment of the Monitoring Team that the threat from Al Qaeda terrorism remains as real today as it has been at any time since October 1999 has been validated by the number and intensity of attacks worldwide, with their ideological underpinnings traceable to Al Qaeda. The Monitoring Team's conclusion that the sanctions regime imposed by the Security Council has had a limited impact is disappointing, as it reflects a continuation of the trend reported by the previous Monitoring Group in its first report issued pursuant to resolution 1455 (2003).”

3. “It will have to act at the bilateral, regional and multilateral levels to speedily and effectively address the clear and present danger represented by international terrorism. The Security Council Committees established pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1373 (2001) are an important facet of the international community's response. It is therefore only natural that we carefully analyse the strategy adopted by those bodies in the fight against terrorism. The appointment of a new and efficient Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, established pursuant to resolution 1526 (2004), is a welcome development. We agree with the Chairman that the Team deserves to be commended for having produced a concise, well-conceived and high-quality document for its first report.”

4. “The horrific images of the heinous murder of some 300 innocent civilians, mainly children, at the hands of terrorists in Beslan, in the Russian Federation, less than a fortnight ago, are still fresh in our minds. The bomb attack outside the Australian embassy in Jakarta on 9 September, which claimed at least nine lives, was a manifestation of the same malaise - of international terrorism representing an attack on all civilized nations. I wish to take this opportunity to extend our deepest sympathy to the Governments of the Russian Federation and Indonesia, and our heartfelt condolences to the victims of the attacks and their families. We are with them in sorrow and solidarity. The international community will have to do more than issuing routine condemnations of such acts of terrorism.”

5. “I would also like to place on record our appreciation for Ambassador Munoz and his able team, as well as for concerned members of the United Nations Secretariat, for the direction they have provided in the implementation of the relevant resolutions of the Al Qaeda-Taliban sanctions regime. It has been three years since the attacks of 11 September in New York. Unfortunately, since then, incidents of terrorism in the Russian Federation, Spain, Saudi Arabia, India and other parts of the world have amply demonstrated that international terrorism is not a passing phenomenon. In fact, as Ambassador Munoz has rightly reiterated, it constitutes today one of the most serious threats to international peace and security.”

6. “As this is the first statement I am making in the Security Council, let me begin by extending my warm greetings to you, Mr. President, and to your colleagues in the Council. Please allow me also to extend our heartiest felicitations to you for assuming the presidency of the Security Council for this important month in the calendar of activities of the United Nations. I also wish take to this opportunity to congratulate Ambassador Andrey Denisov of the Russian Federation on his exemplary stewardship of the Council during his presidency in the month of August. I also wish to thank Ambassador Munoz, Chairman of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999), for his comprehensive briefing on the considerable progress achieved in the work of the Committee since the last public meeting on this issue.”
