  1. “I should also mention that in order to reduce ISIL's appeal to potential foreign terrorist fighters, we are supporting initiatives to investigate and document war crimes and human rights abuses in Iraq and Syria committed by ISIL and other extremists. Let me conclude by affirming Denmark's continuing commitment to our shared effort and to supporting the United Nations in countering the threat of extremism and terrorism. Denmark welcomes the Security Council's continuing active role in addressing that common challenge.”

  2. “The Nordic countries have initiated a Nordic Safe Cities Network, in line with the global Strong Cities Network, exchanging experiences and innovative methods to strengthen our work, in particular on prevention and rehabilitation, and on the close collaboration among social services, schools, police, religious communities and civil society at the local level. I wish to also mention that Denmark has recently initiated a new regional programme to counter violent extremism, with a focus on assisting Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq. It includes a focus on counter-messaging, countering illicit financing, as well as exit support and forms part of the comprehensive Danish engagement to help counter violent extremism and promote peace and security in the Middle East region.”

  3. “We know that violent extremism is more likely to take root when we fail - for example, through local communities - to offer attractive alternatives to the distorted narratives offered by violent extremists. Countering extremism by fostering a sense of purpose and identity for our youth - through investing in preventive measures, education andjobs - is key. In our societies, we must continue to focus on ensuring that fundamental notions of citizen participation, human rights and democracy are passed on and reinforced. The strongest counter-narrative against terrorism and violent extremism is open and inclusive societies.”

  4. “We must continue to implement the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy through a comprehensive approach, and one that embraces core recommendations in the Secretary-General's Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism (A/70/674) and its all-of-United Nations approach. We must remain focused on turning this common framework into concrete actions and results on the ground. Denmark introduced a national countering violent extremism action plan in 2014, from which we have benefitted greatly. It is a tool for developing multi-agency approaches and partnerships with local communities. Our experience has shown us that while we are managing the imminent threats of terrorism, we must at the same time be able to focus on prevention.”

  5. “The unacceptable acts of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and other groups, resulting in unimaginable suffering, devastation and senseless loss of life, run counter to basic norms of human decency and rights and the very values and principles on which the United Nations was built. They require a strong and determined collective response. Denmark remains a resolute and active partner in global efforts to fight terrorism, in particular the acute and real threat posed by terrorist groups such as Al-Qaida, Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab and, not least, ISIL. The global framework for countering violent extremism and terrorism should be firmly anchored at the United Nations.”

  6. “At the outset, Denmark would like to thank the Egyptian presidency of the Security Council for the taking the initiative to convene today's open debate. The topic is highly relevant and at the top of our shared agenda. Today's meeting is also very timely in the light of the upcoming review of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in June. I align my statement with the statement to be delivered shortly by the observer of the European Union. Terrorism and violent extremism seek to threaten not just our collective security and stability but our very way of life.”
