  3. “The future of a stable and prosperous Iraq also means strengthening its cooperation with countries in the region. We therefore support the efforts of the Iraqi Government to normalize its relations with its neighbours, including Kuwait. I could not conclude without paying homage to the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq for the central role it has played in the country. The gains achieved in the evolution of the situation of Iraq should be maintained. My country exhorts the international community to continue its efforts at solidarity with regard to the Government and the people of Iraq. Accordingly, I am pleased that the newly adopted Presidential Statement (PRST/2010/27) takes those serious concerns into account.”

  4. “It is in that perspective that we welcomed the decision to draw down United States troops from Iraq on 31 August 2010. This decision has allowed for the transfer of responsibility for security in Iraq to the Iraqi armed forces. With regard to Iraq's finances, my country is pleased to see the Council's adoption today of a resolution that extends the mandate of the United Nations with regard to the Development Fund for Iraq. We hope that that specific arrangement will enable Iraq to take responsibility for the management of those funds on the basis of the plan of action that it presented to the Council last April. Concerning the termination of the oil-for-food programme, my country encourages the Iraqi Government to fulfil its commitments with regard to settling the letters of credit.”

  5. “Regarding the evolution of democracy in Iraq, we are pleased to see that the recent elections were marked by a significant turnout of Iraqis, especially women, who have shown by their massive involvement their firm will to contribute to the future of Iraq. Regarding national reconciliation, my country welcomes the agreement completed by the political parties on power-sharing, which has led to consensus on Mr. Nuri al-Maliki continuing as Prime Minister. We are convinced that current consultations will soon lead to the formation of a new Government. The legitimate ambition expressed by the Iraqi authorities to see their country once again play a role within the community of nations will only be effective if Iraq assumes its full responsibilities as a sovereign State.”

  6. “The situation in Iraq has been marked in recent years by notable progress, with which my country is pleased, especially regarding the strengthening of the political and institutional process, the definitive transfer of responsibilities in the economic and security fields, and cooperation with other States in the region. Regarding the first point, I would like to welcome the efforts deployed by the Government and people of Iraq to promote the political and institutional reconstruction of their country, despite the recurrent violence that has affected it in recent years. Those efforts have been particularly perceptible in the field of democracy and national reconciliation.”

  7. “Mr. Toungui (Gabon) (spoke in French): First of all, I would like to congratulate the United States of America for its initiative in organizing this debate on the situation in Iraq. Your presence among us, Mr. Vice-President, is proof of the importance that the American authorities attach to the future of Iraq at a time when that country is involved in a process of national reconciliation and transfer of responsibilities in the security and economic fields. I also welcome the presence of the Secretary- General among us here today and thank him for his informative briefing. I would also like to congratulate the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Iraq, Mr. Hoshyar Zebari, for his valuable statement.”

  8. “My country welcomed the Central African workshop organized in Libreville in June by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. The workshop allowed us to learn about the international legal provisions applicable to illegal actions against the security of shipping and offshore oil rigs. Gabon has also adopted major security, financial and customs- excise measures, in synergy with the States of the subregion, to enhance preventive actions against the financing of terrorism. I will end by saying that our common action against terrorism must be in step with our commitments to respecting human rights and fighting poverty. Since counter-terrorism is a collective responsibility, my country reaffirms its commitment to contributing to the global effort to fight this odious international phenomenon.”

  9. “This momentum should lead us to consolidate the legal framework and means for fighting this phenomenon. Hence, we must do our utmost to overcome the differences in approaches that stand in the way of the finalization of a comprehensive convention against international terrorism. Given that terrorism is a global threat, no nation small or large is safe from this scourge. At the same time, we see a distinct asymmetry between the methods of engagement and the global nature of the threat. In addition to the costs of the fight, the terrorists themselves are also engaged in increasingly sophisticated operations. I therefore call for a strengthening of the capacities of the developing countries, taking into account the specific needs and identified threats, especially in African countries.”

  10. “No cause, ideology or religion can serve as a pretext for the atrocities perpetrated throughout the world, including in Somalia, Uganda, India, Russia, Afghanistan, Iraq and the Sahel, to list only a few of the most recent examples. The tentacular structure of terrorism requires a strong and unified response from the international community. Since the adoption of resolutions 1373 (2001), 1267 (1999) and 1540 (2004), the United Nations has assumed its full responsibility to help Member States to effectively fight terrorism. I welcome the outstanding role played by Turkey, Austria and Mexico in guiding the work of the counter- terrorism committees. In adopting the United Nations Global Counter- Terrorism Strategy in September 2006, States Members of our Organization reaffirmed their commitment to fighting international terrorism.”

  11. “Mr. Toungui (Gabon) (spoke in French): I would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your initiative in organizing this important debate on counter-terrorism. We are aware of your commitment and that of your country in fighting this phenomenon. We welcome among us the presence of the Secretary- General, and I reaffirm the support of my country for 10-55136 his ongoing work for peace and security throughout the world. We endorse the draft presidential statement to be adopted at the end of the meeting. Terrorism is not only an attack on the life and dignity of the human being; it is also and above all a negation of civilization and can therefore never be justified.”
