Countering terrorism remains very high on our agenda, and I would like to take this opportunity to reassure the Council of ASEAN's continued cooperation in preventing, countering and suppressing all terrorist acts in accordance with the Charter, all relevant United Nations resolutions, in particular Security Council resolution 1373 (2001), and the principles of international law.”

  2. “Japan, the Republic of Korea and Singapore will also jointly organize the third ARF workshop on counter-terrorism in Tokyo in September or October 2002, which will focus on security arrangements for large-scale events. These workshops are examples of ASEAN-led efforts to promote cooperation between countries within South-East Asia and those outside the region to combat international terrorism. In addition, various projects and initiatives related to combating international terrorism were planned by individual ASEAN members such as the agreement on information exchange and establishment of communication procedures signed by Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines in Kuala Lumpur on 7 May 2002, under which the parties to the agreement will cooperate to combat transnational crime, including terrorism.”

  3. “The workshop concluded that greater exchange of information and intelligence and further cooperation among law enforcement and other relevant security agencies were essential tools in the fight against terrorism. Participants agreed that training and exercises among ARF countries could contribute usefully towards the development of national and regional capabilities to prevent terrorism. They further agreed that ARF participating countries be invited to submit to the ARF Chair summaries of measures taken nationally in response to the terrorist threat. Earlier, another ARF workshop on financial measures against terrorism was jointly organized in Honolulu by the United States and Malaysia from 24 to 26 March 2002.”

  5. “An important ASEAN achievement was the special ministerial meeting on terrorism held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 20 and 21 May 2002. While noting with concern the close links between transnational crime and terrorism, which lend greater urgency to efforts to combat transnational crime, our ministers agreed to endorse a comprehensive work programme on terrorism to implement the ASEAN Plan of Action to Combat Transnational Crime, which included, among other things: exchange of information; the compilation and dissemination of relevant laws and regulations of ASEAN member countries; the compilation and dissemination of bilateral and multilateral agreements and information on relevant international treaties where feasible; the development of multilateral or bilateral legal arrangements to facilitate apprehension, investigation, prosecution, extradition, inquiry and seizure in order to enhance mutual legal and administrative assistance among ASEAN member countries where feasible; the enhancement of cooperation and coordination in law enforcement and intelligence sharing; and the development of regional training programmes.”

In that regard, we wish to emphasize that all ASEAN member countries have already submitted their first reports and, at this stage, are progressing towards fulfilling the next requirements of the CTC.

  8. “At this juncture, let me also congratulate Ambassador Kamalesh Sharma on his appointment as Special Representative of the Secretary-General for East Timor, and we are confident that he will continue building on the success of his predecessor. Finally, we believe that the new mission will continue the consolidation of what has already been invested in East Timor by UNTAET, as well as by previous missions. It confirms that the continued international presence in East Timor is crucial for its rehabilitation and development. UNMISET's mandate and practical exit strategy will enhance East Timor's capacity for self-government and its ability to become a viable State within the international community.”

We are seeing continued progress, which has been reflected in the Secretary-General's reports. We commend Mr. Sergio Vieira de Mello and his team for their outstanding work.

A special ASEAN ministerial meeting on issues of terrorism is scheduled to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in April this year. The meeting represents a significant step by ASEAN in response to the United Nations call to enhance coordination of national, subregional and international efforts aimed at strengthening the global response to terrorism. In addition, the relevant ASEAN Ministers have been tasked with undertaking nine additional practical measures in line with Security Council resolution 1373 (2001). Individually, each ASEAN member country has also undertaken steps aimed at combating terrorism.”

  13. “They underlined the importance of strengthening regional and international cooperation in meeting these challenges. ASEAN leaders rejected any attempt to link terrorism with any religion or race. They also renewed their commitment to pursuing effective policies and strategies aimed at enhancing the well-being of the people, which will be each member's national contribution in the fight against terrorism. All cooperative efforts to combat terrorism at the regional level will consider joint practical counter-terrorism measures in line with the specific circumstances in the region and in each member country. Towards this end, ASEAN Foreign Ministers will consider during their retreat in Phuket, Thailand, to be held next month, an agreement on exchange of information and the establishment of communication procedures in this context.”

  14. “Our cooperation has also crossed over to the ASEAN Regional Forum, where our experts had useful exchanges at the Experts Group Meetings on Transnational Crime in Seoul, Republic of Korea, in the year 2000 and last year in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Acts of terrorism require concerted and sustained responses and actions at the international, regional and national levels. With this in mind, our leaders adopted the ASEAN Declaration on Joint Action to Counter Terrorism on 5 November last year as our regional response. In the Declaration, our leaders expressed their commitment "to counter, prevent and suppress all forms of terrorist acts in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and other international law, especially taking into account the importance of all relevant United Nations resolutions".”

  15. “We have noted the close link between international terrorism and other transnational crimes, and we have recognized the growing need for us to deal with its many forms. We held our first ASEAN ministerial Conference on Transnational Crime in Manila in December 1997, where our Ministers resolved to strengthen their commitment to cooperating at the regional level in combating transnational crimes such as terrorism, illicit drug trafficking, arms smuggling, money-laundering, trafficking in persons and piracy. Our Ministers have also met on two other occasions, the most recent being the third ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crime in Singapore last year.”

  16. “This resolution covers a wide range of issues including, among others, measures to inhibit terrorist activities, the call for cooperation through bilateral and multilateral arrangements in various areas and the establishment of the Counter-Terrorism Committee. It is our hope that this open meeting, which complements the regular briefings by the chair of the Counter-Terrorism Committee, will help us better understand the wide impact and repercussions of resolution 1373 (2001). We in ASEAN believe that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations presents a direct challenge to international peace and security, development and prosperity. We have been steadily strengthening our cooperation in countering terrorism and other related transnational crimes during the past few years.”

  17. “We congratulate you, Sir, on your excellent presidency, and we welcome and congratulate the new members of the Council. We also congratulate Sir Jeremy Greenstock on his excellent chairmanship of the Counter-Terrorism Committee. I have the honour of speaking on behalf of the members of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), namely, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam, on a matter which we all consider very important. We would like to thank the Security Council for this timely opportunity to have a meaningful exchange of views on the implementation of Council resolution 1373 (2001).”

  18. “It will be supported by the nascent East Timor Police Service and East Timor Defence Force, but maintaining law and order in East Timor would not be easy. In conclusion, I would like to re-emphasize the importance of building on the progress that we have achieved so far and, hence, of the continued international presence in East Timor. This is to ensure the country's successful transition into the international community. At the same time, we have to ensure continued consultation and cooperation with the people of East Timor in order to carry out UNTAET's mandate in resolution 1272 (1999).”

  19. “As highlighted in the report, there are still a few areas in which East Timor needs assistance. In view of this, we feel that the continued presence of the United Nations is essential. We also note that support is still needed in building the East Timorese capacity for self- government, despite the great improvement in this area. Other areas in public administration, particularly civil administration, continue to rely heavily on services provided by UNTAET. We feel that the United Nations should continue its support in this area, which also includes development and training in the area of information and communication technology. We also note the shortcomings facing the newly formed justice system.”

  20. “Brunei Darussalam supports the role of UNTAET and is pleased with the way UNTAET has discharged its mandate. We are seeing continued significant progress after the election in East Timor. The presence of UNTAET has greatly contributed to the continuous peace and stability in the country. This is highlighted in the Secretary-General's report. Having said that, we feel that we still have a long way to go to make East Timor a viable State. Its basic requirements were made clear in Security Council resolution 1272 (1999) and subsequent related Council resolutions, as well as in the Secretary-General's current report. Within this context, we fully support the interventions by those who spoke before us calling for a substantial international presence in East Timor after independence.”

We would like to congratulate Mr. Sergio Vieira de Mello and his team for their commendable work. The Government of Brunei Darussalam would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his excellent report on the work of the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET). We are very happy to see the participation of Chief Minister Mari Alkatiri in these discussions, and Brunei Darussalam looks forward to welcoming East Timor as a member of the international community in May of next year.”
