1. “The CTC has thus had a tremendous impact, in particular by also reaching out to other organizations - especially regional organizations - to ensure full implementation of resolution 1373 (2001). Looking to the future, we are of the view that standards will be necessary to ensure a minimum level of compliance at the global level. The standards to be observed were set a year ago, and a set of minimum requirements will be needed to ensure the effectiveness of those standards and, thus, of the work of the Committee. We agree with the philosophy of the CTC, that the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001) is a process and that no State is perfect when it comes to implementation. Enhancing compliance will therefore be of crucial importance in the second phase of the Committee's work.”

2. “Liechtenstein has accorded high priority to its cooperation with the CTC, in particular in the light of the strong focus that resolution 1373 (2001) places on the issue of the financing of terrorism. We have submitted to the Committee in a timely manner a report and a supplementary report, and we have engaged in a fruitful dialogue on issues relating to implementation. We have ratified 10 out of the 12 anti-terrorism conventions. We look forward to the early ratification of the remaining two, as soon as we have enacted the relevant implementing legislation, as is the practice in our country. It is encouraging to note that most States have extended full and constructive cooperation to the CTC and that, where full cooperation was not forthcoming, that was due more often to inability than to unwillingness.”

3. “Mr. Wenaweser (Liechtenstein) (spoke in French): We would like to thank you, Mr. President, for organizing this meeting. (spoke in English) Today's meeting offers a good opportunity to take stock of what has been achieved in our common fight against international terrorism, as well as to look ahead to the future. At the outset, we would like to offer some thoughts on the work of the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC). We all owe gratitude above all to Ambassador Jeremy Greenstock, who has guided the work of the Committee with exemplary circumspection and transparency. Given the sensitive tasks of the CTC, his leadership has played a decisive role in ensuring a prominent place for the Committee.”

4. “Resolution 1325 (2000) gives us a very solid basis to work with, and we look forward to the specific recommendations of the Secretary-General and the Special Adviser. We hope that they will be concrete and action-oriented and offer us valuable guidance, especially in the area of institutional capacity-building, which can be the starting point for mainstreaming a gender perspective in all aspects of peace operations.”

5. “The full observance of international law, in particular refugee and international humanitarian law is therefore crucial. As far as the progressive development of international law is concerned, strides have been made over the past few years, in particular in the area of sexual violence, through the work of the ad hoc tribunals established by the Security Council and, of course, in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which has just entered into force. On the other hand, we have also witnessed attempts to undermine international legal standards and are therefore challenged to uphold and defend the existing gains made. Its full implementation would indeed go a long way to providing the necessary protection to women. This debate is one more step in a long process.”

6. “Involving women as participants must go hand in hand with addressing their special needs and vulnerability. Clearly, women are more vulnerable to the effects of armed conflict than men. Very often, an already existing culture of violence and discrimination against women is exacerbated in times of armed conflict. Protection of women in such times must therefore begin during times of peace. But in addition to these systemic elements, it is also the changed and changing character of armed conflicts that puts women at special risk. The systematic and deliberate targeting of civilian populations has become a recurrent pattern in recent armed conflicts, and women are disproportionately affected by forced displacement, landmines, sexual violence and - as a particular consequence thereof - HIV/AIDS.”

7. “When the necessity to include women in all these processes seems clear, the conclusion follows logically that the United Nations has to do its own part in this respect. Women must be given leadership positions, in particular as special representatives and envoys of the Secretary-General. This is the best way not only to illustrate the commitment of the Organization itself, but also to bring about catalytic effect: to create awareness among the people concerned in a manner leading to the stronger involvement of women at all levels. The promise made in resolution 1325 (2000) has not yet been fulfilled. My delegation has been active on this particular issue for several years now, and again, we are very grateful for the contribution you yourself have made, Mr. President, in this respect.”

8. “It is essential to realize that women are players and participants in armed conflicts - not merely victims - and that they must be treated as such. Their roles range from providers and heads of households to peacemakers, and, indeed, they can also be combatants and agents of Violence. It is therefore obvious that women must be included in all stages of peacemaking, peacekeeping and peace- building. Women's role in post-conflict peace-building is particularly of the essence, and we continue to look forward to the establishment of a peace-building unit within the Department of Political Affairs, which could have a great impact in this respect. We remain committed to financially supporting such a peace- building unit, not least against this background.”

9. “This open debate is yet another expression of your personal commitment, Mr. President, as well as that of your delegation, to gender issues on the United Nations agenda. We would like to thank you for that. We are also grateful to those who have made presentations this morning, and particularly to Ms. Angela King, the Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women. As many others, we welcomed resolution 1325 (2000) as a landmark achievement of the Security Council and believe that it has already made a significant difference in work on the ground. There is therefore good momentum, and this debate is an opportunity to move the process forward. An approach based on participation seems crucial to us in order to advance work in the broad area of women and armed conflict.”
