  1. “Our aim is to create an action-oriented plan that could be a valuable addition by the G-7 leaders to existing global efforts to tackle terrorism and violent extremism. At the moment, we are working very hard and wholeheartedly with our G-7 colleagues so that we can share something with the entire international community in that regard. To conclude, I would like to emphasize once again our deep conviction that we will not be idle in eradicating violent extremism and will redouble our efforts against it. Let us unite to address this common threat. On behalf fo the Government of Japan, I can assure the Assembly that we Japanese continue to stand firmly with the entire international community in this important endeavor.”

  2. “Prime Minister Abe mentioned in Cairo last year the importance of moderation, a notion shared by different civilizations, cultures and religious beliefs.

  3. “Last February, Japan hosted a panel discussion on the role of civil society in preventing violent extremism, with the participation of representatives from Governments and civil society from South-East Asian countries. There emerged a general consensus among the participants that we should be more vocal in promoting moderate ideas against violent extremism. Again, those may be small efforts, but they are important ones. It is now time for the international community to unite against the threat of violent extremism even further and to take advantage of our strengths and cooperate to create synergies among our efforts. We would also reiterate the importance of empowering moderate voices in society by promoting pluralism and tolerance.”

Japan recently provided $1.5 million to the Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund in order to support local community- based initiatives against violent extremism. Furthermore, Japan has conducted a number of projects related to countering violent extremism in cooperation with countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.”

  5. “In particular, the Security Council has made enormous efforts to eradicate these imminent threats against international peace and security, namely, terrorism and violent extremism. I would like to emphasize that it must make further efforts for that purpose. Japan has been supporting efforts by United Nations entities in countering violent extremism. I would like to briefly touch on one example that, although it may appear small, substantively is quite imporant. A workshop held for Iraqi officials in February 2015 under the sponsorship of my Government brought together victims of terrorism and family members of late fighters of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) (Da'esh) and offered them an opportunity to engage in dialogue about their personal experiences and thoughts.”

  6. “We would particularly like to emphasize that the international community should put more efforts and resources into the prevention of terrorism, as well as countering factors conducive to terrorism, most critical of all violent extremism. We firmly believe that violent extremism has nothing to do with any religion, nationality or civilization. However, terrorist organizations use narratives and ideologies based on their distorted interpretation of those factors, not only to justify their ideas but also to mobilize resources and garner support. There is therefore urgent need to prevent violent extremism throughout the world. In that regard, we strongly welcome the Secretary-General's Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism and call for its rapid implementation under United Nations leadership.”

  7. “I would first like to express my sincere appreciation to you, Sir, for taking up this timely and important topic. My appreciation also goes to Deputy Secretary-General Eliasson and other speakers for their insightful briefings at a time when the topic before us is the most important item on the common international agenda. My Government is sincerely and firmly supportive of the presidential statement S/PRST/2016/6, which we have just adopted. This year alone we have witnessed numerous terrorist attacks all over the world. Facing the sobering reality of an increase in and the spread of terrorist attacks in recent years, Japan has reconfirmed its determination to fight against terrorism in cooperation with the international community. The importance of utilizing all tools at our disposal in the fight against terrorism cannot be overstated.”
