  1. “Secondly, through our CTITF Foreign Terrorist Fighters Working Group, we have developed, as mandated by the Security Council, an all-of-United Nations CTITF foreign terrorist fighters capacity- building implementation plan that now includes over 50 projects from 13 United Nations entities, addressing the entire life cycle of the foreign terrorist fighters phenomenon. Leveraging CTED's comparative advantages, capabilities and knowledge of Member States' needs and priorities, these projects have been thematically and geographically ranked by their criticality so as to ensure an impact on the ground and efficient use of donor resources.”

  2. “Allow me to cite four examples of what the two constituent parts of the OCT - the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force, of which CTED is a core member, and the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre - are already doing. First, our 12 Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force inter-agency working groups represent a good example of counter-terrorism coordination in action. This means exchange of information, the identification of threats and challenges, and the development of all-of-United Nations projects. Our new Office of Counter-Terrorism intends to further mainstream the all-of-United Nations approach to our counter-terrorism efforts across the United Nations system both at Headquarters and the field. This strengthening of coordination and coherence will be the highest priority of the Office of Counter-Terrorism .”

  3. “Since 2001, the Counter-Terrorism Committee and its Executive Directorate have resolutely contributed to supporting Member States in the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001). Leveraging their respective comparative advantages, the United Nations Counter- Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF) has also contributed significantly to that effort. Now it is high time to bring together our collective efforts. I therefore welcome the growing emphasis that the Security Council is placing, in its resolutions and presidential statements, on ensuring that United Nations entities work closely together in addressing the terrorist threat. This must be followed by concrete actions and initiatives, respectful of mandates and done in the spirit of collaboration from the very start.”

  4. “From these consultations and statements, we have already identified six key areas that are fully aligned with the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and the Council's priorities, namely, strengthening international counter-terrorism cooperation; preventing violent extremism conducive to terrorism in the context of Pillar I of the United Nations Global Counter- Terrorism Strategy; addressing the terrorist use of the Internet; enhancing intercultural dialogue; addressing the threat of foreign terrorist fighters; and increasing the exchange of information and good counter-terrorism practices. I will continue listening in order to build, together with the Security Council and all relevant United Nations entities, an effective, future-oriented and balanced counterterrorism programme to support Member States.”

  5. “That is why I held more than 50 high-level meetings with Member States and international and regional organizations last week. I also listened carefully to the statements delivered in the General Assembly, in which counter-terrorism was clearly one of the highest priorities for the majority of Member States.”

  6. “The new Office of Counter-Terrorism established by the Secretary-General, which I head, intends to make a qualitative difference in our support to Member States by bringing leadership, mobilizing resources and developing, together with United Nations entities at Headquarters and in the field, a coherent and well- coordinated one-United Nations framework to counter- terrorism and prevent violent extremism conducive to terrorism. Support and assistance for Member States are the key words in this regard. In order to meet this goal, I intend to work closely with all States members of General Assembly, the Security Council and all other relevant organs and bodies of the United Nations. Listening and acting on their priorities will be my priority.”

  7. “Stronger international cooperation remains crucial against terrorism." (A/72/PV3, p. 2) I am strongly committed to the Secretary-General's Vision and look forward to working with the Security Council to achieve this goal. I would also like to express my gratitude for the able leadership shown by Ambassador Aboulatta of Egypt, as Chair of the Counter-Terrorism Committee. I look forward to working closely with the Committee and its Executive Directorate (CTED) to build a strong partnership among all General Assembly and Security Council-mandated bodies to promote the implementation of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and all relevant Security Council resolutions.”

  8. “Mr. Voronkov: I would like to begin by thanking you, Sir, for organizing today's important meeting, which marks the sixteenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1373 (2001). Allow me to start by remembering the tens of thousands of victims of terrorism around the world. It is an honour to brief the Security Council for the first time as Under-Secretary-General of the Office of Counter-Terrorism (OCT). I thank all 15 members of the Council for their strong support to the creation of the OCT - the very first reform initiative of Secretary-General Guterres. As he said last week in the General Assembly, "National and multilateral counter-terrorism efforts have indeed disrupted networks, reclaimed territory, prevented attacks and saved lives, but we need to intensify this work.”
