  1. “Furthermore, in the sphere of combating terrorism, Poland will spare no efforts to fulfil its obligations under the Charter and to contribute to the achievement of the goals set out by this Organization.”

  2. “I would also like to avail myself of this occasion to express our appreciation to the Chairman of the Counter-Terrorism Committee, His Excellency Sir Jeremy Greenstock, for the excellent leadership that he has provided in its work. It has been encouraging to learn that resolution 1373 (2001) has elicited an unparalleled response from Member States. It is a clear sign of the commitment of the United Nations members to the struggle against international terrorism. We believe that this process will make us all better prepared to cope with the challenges ahead, and it will strengthen or put in place the tools necessary for effective action at all levels of international cooperation. It is also a learning process, and we all stand to benefit from the experience gained.”

  3. “One of the objectives that could be pursued is the promotion of tolerance and multiculturalism by upholding our common values and enriching curricula at all levels of education. To sustain the struggle against terrorism and to achieve our common goal of eliminating this scourge, a stable and strong commitment will be required from all States. It is the intention of the States participating in the Warsaw Conference that it not be a one-time event but rather a process through which they will be better able to deal with the common threat of terrorism. These regional efforts are aimed at complementing and reinforcing the global effort in which the United Nations plays a fundamental role.”

  4. “Cooperation between border and immigration services, as well as the police, is yet another sphere in which the participants in the Conference decided to increase their cooperation, as the ability to identify terrorist threats at early stages, before they can develop into networks and larger operations, is considered critical for the successful implementation of the common plan of action against terrorism. The need to strengthen the control of arms exports and the importance of non-proliferation regimes were likewise emphasized. While highlighting the need to undertake practical steps for the prevention and suppression of terrorism, the participants agreed that a sustainable effort in this respect is required. It should address not only the symptoms of this scourge, but also its causes.”

  5. “It is the primary responsibility of each country to prevent and suppress international terrorism within its jurisdiction, and international efforts can only be successful when every State has effective operational mechanisms to that end. Increasing cooperation in areas of information exchange and intelligence sharing is another sphere where mutual efforts should bring fruitful results. The participants of the Warsaw Conference have thus pledged to strengthen their collaboration in this respect by sharing their experience and knowledge with respect to those suspected of involvement in international terrorism. Sharing of knowledge in the area of anti- terrorist training has also been envisaged as part of the process, with the possibility of establishing a training centre for this purpose.”

  6. “Moreover, the participants pledged their full support for anti-terrorist action being taken within the framework of the United Nations, calling upon all States to implement fully the provisions of Security Council resolution 1373 (2001), and to ratify the existing international conventions relating to terrorism. They also stressed their conviction that it is through common and coordinated action that terrorist organizations and those who support, finance, train and harbour them will be brought to justice. Particular stress was put on the need to increase the capacity of the participating States to effectively respond to the challenges posed by terrorism. The strengthening of internal legislation and institutions responsible for combating terrorism was identified as one of the main priorities in this field.”

  7. “The Conference resulted in the adoption of a Declaration and an Action Plan, which determined the steps to be undertaken by the participants and which were published as a Security Council document under the symbol S/2001/1142. The heads of State were unanimous in their condemnation of the terrorist attacks of 11 September, considering them an assault on the basic freedoms and security of all the people of the world and stressing that the fight against international terrorism is not a confrontation between different religions or cultures.”

  9. “However, we would like to add some remarks from a regional perspective, as Poland hosted, on 6 November last year, the Warsaw Conference on Combating Terrorism. The Conference, convened at the initiative of the President of the Republic of Poland, Mr. Aleksander Kwasniewski, brought together heads of State from Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, in order to enhance regional cooperation in the area of combating terrorism and to identify areas of particular significance for the struggle against this scourge.”

  10. “First of all, let me congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council in January. I also wish to extend my congratulations to the new members of the Council: Bulgaria, Cameroon, Guinea, Mexico and the Syrian Arab Republic. Let me also thank you, Mr. President, for convening this debate on an issue of utmost importance to all Member States of the United Nations. Almost four months have elapsed since the adoption of Security Council resolution 1373 (2001), and it is indeed time to take stock of actions taken in the struggle against terrorism on the basis of Council decisions. Poland has already associated itself with the statement made on behalf of the European Union by the representative of Spain.”

  11. “We believe this discussion format may offer interesting possibilities, and therefore it deserves to be continued. Improved consultations with troop contributors should help to foster common understanding among all interested partners as to the situation on the ground, a mission's mandate and the risks facing peacekeepers. Above all, we believe that closer links between troop- contributing countries and the Security Council should strengthen mutual trust and prevent a possible division between those who decide and those who implement.”

  12. “As a troop contributor we would be interested in the views of Security Council members and other troop-contributing countries, especially with regard to the formulation of the mandate of a new peacekeeping operation or when there is discussion on changing the mandate of an ongoing operation in which Poland is a participant. Furthermore, we would welcome being consulted when decisions are made that affect the safety and security of peacekeepers. At the same time, we would wish to have our Views known during such consultations. We are convinced that members of the Security Council would make best use of the opinions of troop contributors. Much has been said about so-called private meetings between the Security Council and troop contributors, with one such meeting having taken place so far.”

  13. “Poland is proud of its achievements in fulfilling its commitments, which- and I wish to state it clearly- would not be possible without good cooperation with the United Nations, particularly the Secretariat. We share the opinion that the consultation mechanism is a cornerstone of cooperation between troop-contributing countries, the Security Council and the Secretariat. We welcome efforts to make consultations more meaningful and substantive. In that regard, we view the outcome of the deliberations on the recommendations of the Panel on United Nations Peace Operations, including the Security Council's adoption of resolution 1327 (2000), as positive developments.”

  14. “In this context, let me mention that Polish-Lithuanian and Polish-Ukrainian battalions have been established for the purpose of participating jointly in peacekeeping operations and in the initiative on the Multinational Stand-by Forces High-Readiness Brigade (SHIRBRIG), which for some time now has been developed by a group of interested countries. Poland currently occupies the chairmanship of SHIRBRIG's steering committee. The concept to form and develop the Brigade is recognized in the Brahimi report as a possible model solution for enhancing United Nations capacity for rapid deployment and effective action. We are pleased to note the successful deployment of SHIRBRIG in the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea.”

  15. “Nevertheless, we continue to support United Nations peacekeeping efforts, and we try, at least symbolically, to respond positively when called upon by the Secretary-General by providing additional individual military and police officers or other civilian specialists. Last year, a Polish special police unit 115 strong was deployed in the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). We are currently exploring possibilities of contributing other civilian specialists, including prison guards, border guards and customs officers. Through bilateral and multilateral cooperation with our neighbours and regional partners we continue to improve both our knowledge and our experience in peacekeeping.”

  16. “The significance of this issue has been highlighted by the recently increased involvement of the United Nations in peacekeeping and, more importantly, by the wider range of tasks performed within multifunctional peace operations. For our part, Poland has made every effort to have our cooperation reach the highest standards, both in quantitative and qualitative terms. Throughout our 27 years of involvement in United Nations peacekeeping, 32,000 Polish soldiers, civilian police and other civilian specialists have served under the blue banner. Currently, approximately 1,100 Poles perform their duties in United Nations-led missions, and almost 1,300 do so in other missions mandated by the United Nations Security Council. Given modest budgetary possibilities, those figures represent the limits of our capacity.”

  17. “It is my pleasure to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council. I would also like to express our gratitude to you for convening this debate and for providing us with an excellent background paper, which we find extremely timely and useful. Poland has associated itself with the statement made on behalf of the European Union. Given the importance of the subject being discussed at this debate, I would like to offer a few comments of our own. The search for ways to improve the effectiveness of United Nations peacekeeping has covered many areas. One pertains to cooperation with troop- contributing countries, particularly within the framework of relationships with the two other partners: the Security Council and the Secretariat of the United Nations.”
