4. “Cooperation with the other Security Council Committees is progressing smoothly. A tangible result of this cooperation is the document on a common strategy dealing with non- or late-reporting States, elaborated by the groups of experts of the three Committees. We envisage a further enhancement of this cooperation in the future. It is noted that the Committee continues to act as a clearing house for technical assistance to States that have expressed a desire to receive such assistance in order to fulfil their obligations deriving from resolutions 1540 (2004) and 1673 (2006). We hope that the members of the Committee will agree soon on its new programme of work, which will allow the Committee to perform its duties smoothly for another year. I now resume my duties as President of the Council.”

5. “Mention should be made of the recent Beijing seminar, which produced tangible results, as well as of forthcoming seminars, to be held, with the financial assistance of the EU, in Accra, Ghana, and Lima, Peru, for the African and Latin American and Caribbean countries, respectively. We hope that these seminars will have an impact on the non-reporting States in terms of the submission of their missing reports. Cooperation with regional organizations is of the essence in this respect. The continued updating of the Committee's database is of great use, as it serves as a tool for information-sharing among States. Through the links contained in it, users can find information relating to the legislative and regulatory measures taken by States in order to implement resolutions 1540 (2004) and 1673 (2006).”

6. “This report could also be a source of inspiration to those States which have not yet submitted such information. The CTC has made good progress in integrating human rights into its policy. We are of the view, however, that much remains to be done to better incorporate human rights concerns into its dialogue with Member States in the implementation of resolutions 1373 (2001) and 1624 (2005). With regard to the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), the first priority remains the completion of the first cycle of national reports. We therefore urge the remaining 59 States which have not so far submitted their national reports to do so as soon as possible. In this regard, the Committee has undertaken a series of outreach activities, including regional seminars, which we fully support.”

7. “Greece commends the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) and its Executive Directorate for their continuous active engagement with Member States in pursuing the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001). The visits carried out by the Executive Directorate are useful tools that enhance interaction with Member States, and the Committee should now focus on better preparation and follow up. We welcome the excellent report (S/2006/737) of the CTC to the Council on the implementation of resolution 1624 (2005) regarding a number of issues related to incitement to terrorism. The report contains useful information on domestic practices and legislative measures in this field, and provides the Committee with important elements and information in connection with the fulfilment of its mandate under resolution 1624 (2005).”

8. “However, concerns expressed by Member States about the need for fair and clear procedures for placing individuals and entities on sanctions lists and for removing them, as well as for granting humanitarian exceptions, have not so far been addressed by the Committee. We urge the Committee to embark upon the consideration of these issues at the earliest opportunity, also taking into account the proposals submitted to the Committee by Denmark and France, as well as the various options offered by recent academic discussions on this issue. As we have stated on many occasions, ensuring fair and clear procedures will ultimately strengthen the effectiveness of targeted sanctions. Last but not least, we are pleased about the progress made in the cooperation between the Committee and Interpol.”

We welcome the recommendations contained in the fourth and fifth reports of the Monitoring Team, many of which have been adopted by the Committee, greatly contributing to the improvement of the sanctions regime. Greece attaches great importance to the revision of the Committee's guidelines concerning listing and de-listing procedures. The Committee intensively discussed the revision of its listing procedures, and some new draft guidelines in this respect are now ready for adoption.”

10. “We must now work together to ensure the effective and expeditious implementation of the Strategy. At the same time, we must step up our efforts to conclude the negotiations on a draft comprehensive convention on international terrorism, the adoption of which will provide legal clarity regarding the definition of terrorist acts and will complement the General Assembly's legal framework in the field of counter-terrorism. The briefings that we heard today by the Chairmen of the three subsidiary Committees of the Security Council are indicative of the intensive and tireless efforts of the Council to address and eradicate terrorism in all its forms. Greece welcomes the progress that the 1267 Committee has achieved in improving its Consolidated List by adding new and useful information with respect to the names of several entries.”

11. “We firmly believe, however, that the fight against terrorism should be carried out in tandem with respect for international law, international human rights and humanitarian law and refugee law. Terrorism is a global threat, and as such it can be defeated through a global, consistent and coordinated response. For this reason, we welcome the unanimous adoption by the General Assembly of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy (General Assembly resolution 60/288). The adoption of that important document not only demonstrates that we stand united in our common endeavour to combat terrorism through a comprehensive strategic plan and action-oriented measures, but it also reaffirms the vital role that the General Assembly can play in this regard.”

Like previous speakers, I wish to extend my warm congratulations to the Chairpersons of the three Committees - Ambassador Mayoral, Ambassador Loj and Ambassador Burian - for their comprehensive briefings and to thank them for their hard work and dedication. Greece associates itself with the statement to be made later by the Permanent Representative of Finland on behalf of the European Union (EU). I would like, however, to make some additional remarks. Greece fully subscribes to the conviction that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, committed by whomever, wherever and for whatever purposes, is unacceptable and can never be justified.”

30. “Notwithstanding these issues, we believe that the key element that will ultimately define the future of the CPA is the gradual consolidation of a spirit of cooperation and trust between the two parties. In that regard, there is still much ground to be covered. With regard to Darfur, we agree with the Secretary-General's assessment that peace in Sudan is indivisible. The crisis in Darfur, if not resolved soon, may have a spillover effect in the rest of the country. We once again call for the full implementation of resolution 1706 (2006) by all sides and for the upholding of the Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA). In addition, allowing humanitarian access to the people in need is of pivotal importance.”

It is also encouraging that the economy of the country is booming and that finally the economy of the south is starting to reap the rewards of peace, after years of war and deprivation. Of course, there is still a lot that has to be done, and the funds promised by the international community must arrive sooner rather than later. On the negative side, the issue of Abyei, the proper functioning of the National Petroleum Commission, the non-establishment of human rights commissions, the insecurity in the south because of the presence of other armed groups, and the non-existent preparations for national elections are just some of the obvious examples of the slow implementation of the CPA.”

I would like first to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Pronk, for his comprehensive statement on the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), as well as on the situation in Darfur. The conclusion that one draws from the Secretary-General's recent report is that the implementation of the CPA has slowed, and that although there is notable progress with regard to security arrangements, the same cannot be said about the provisions for sharing power and wealth. We welcome the fact that the Government has deployed its forces from southern Sudan and that accordingly the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) has completed its redeployment from eastern Sudan.”

The Secretary-General's report and Ambassador Qazi's briefing are a stark reminder that a great deal remains to be done in Iraq.
