  1. “We welcome the adoption of resolution 2100 (2013), which confirms that the international community is working together to find a solution to this problem. Against this backdrop, we cannot but regret that the Council has yet to identify a solid position regarding the condemnation of terrorist attacks and threats in the context of Syrian events, especially bearing in mind the growing influence among the ranks of the opposition of terrorist groups affiliated with Al-Qaida. African countries are adopting more active initiatives to solve the continent's problems. In that regard, we welcome partnerships between the United Nations and the African Union and other regional organizations in maintaining peace and stability in Africa.”

  2. “The region is setting up production of synthetic narcotics, and developing existing and new routes for the delivery of Afghan heroin. One result ofthis process is the broadening of the geography of terrorist activity, with an increased number of terrorist attacks and ever great proliferation of organized crime. Extremists are increasingly attempting to capture positions of Government authority. We are especially troubled by the tendency to weave terrorism into regional armed conflicts, which directly threatens the territorial integrity of States and undermines the foundation of international peace and security. One illustration of this is the ongoing instability in Mali and throughout the Sahel region.”

  3. “Unfortunately, today Africa has come to be at the forefront of the fight against this scourge. Regional extremist groups have joined forces among themselves with criminal elements, circulating freely through porous borders, updating their sources of financing, and vigorously arming themselves with regional weapons flows from Libyan arsenals. We have warned of such dangers on many occasions. It was to put up reliable roadblocks to stop the spread of Libyan weapons, including man-portable air defence systems, that Russia initiated resolution 2017 (2011). Substantial finances flow to terrorists from the illicit drug trade. One of the major staging grounds for the smuggling of cocaine into Europe is West Africa.”

  4. “Mr. Zagaynov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): Let me thank the Togolese presidency for its initiative to hold today's meeting on such a relevant topic. We view this meeting as a contribution to strengthening the central coordinating role of the United Nations and the Security Council in the fight against terrorism. We are grateful to the Secretary- General for his participation in the meeting and for his briefing on today's topic. We would also like to thank the Director General of the Intergovernmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa for the information he provided. In spite of the significant efforts of the international community, terrorism remains one of the most serious threats to international peace and security.”

  5. “In the context of the Committee's activities during the past six months, we would highlight the report on the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). In addition to being a review, it takes note of the progress made and charts a course for the future work of the Committee. With respect to future work, we suggest that the Committee attach greater importance to the issue of the provision of assistance to States in carrying out the tasks set out in resolution 1540 (2004). The Committee's coordinating role in the relevant efforts of the international community is crucial. For its part, Russia will continue to actively participate in those activities, including in the context of our cooperation with the States members of the Commonwealth of Independent States on the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004).”

  6. “Preventing weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery from falling into the hands of terrorists remains one of the most important challenges for the international community. A key instrument for doing so is resolution 1540 (2004), which provides, inter alia, for the implementation by Member States of the measures necessary to strengthen national systems for monitoring and control in the field of non-proliferation. Russia continues to support the implementation of that resolution by all countries, fully taking into account the complex and long-term nature of its requirements. We support the efforts of Ambassador Kim Sook to ensure the effective functioning of the 1540 Committee on a regular and predictable basis. The work of the Group of Experts has made a significant contribution to the Committee.”

  7. “The mandate of the Ombudsman on delisting and the procedure for considering requests for exclusion from the list set forth in resolution 2083 (2012) ensures optimal transparency in the work of the Committee. However, a more important task is enhancing the effectiveness of sanctions mechanisms, which is dependent on the implementation by Member States of their international obligations in that area. Unfortunately, as practice has shown, unresolved issues remain. These include, running counter to paragraph 4 of resolution 2083 (2012), the Kavkaz Center website, an information portal for the terrorist organization Emarat Kavkaz, which in July 2011 was included on the sanctions list. That site continues to promote terrorism and religious intolerance.”

  8. “The 1267 and 1989 Committee remains one of the most effective mechanisms in the Security Council's counter-terrorism efforts. Its sanctions list should adequately reflect the Al-Qaida threat, which, as recent events in the Arab world and in Africa show, remains significant. We support the proposal to include new entries on the list. We believe also that the Committee must swiftly respond to existing threats without excessive bureaucratic red tape and consider States' listing requests, guided by its mandate to combat terrorism. However, the practice of the adoption of sanctions against individuals and entities involved in terrorist activities must continue to be based on a case-by-case approach, in line with the relevant procedures.”

  9. “In that regard, we note the contacts of the CTC, as well as the Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011), and the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), with the Meeting of Heads of Special Services, Security Agencies and Law-Enforcement Organizations on terrorism-related issues, which was conducted by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation. In our view, the briefing to the CTC by representatives of the Meeting have proved to be valuable. We continue to value the role of the Counter- Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) in providing assistance to the CTC. We should like to express our gratitude to the outgoing Executive Director, Mr. Smith, for his contribution to resolving the daunting challenges before the CTED under its mandate, as set out in resolution 1963 (2010).”

  10. “Given the growing instability in various regions of the world, we must prevent any further radicalization of populations and the triggering of sectarian or inter-religious clashes. In that regard, we deem of fundamental importance the implementation of resolution 1624 (2005), focusing on preventing terrorism, limiting the range of terrorist activities, combating the spread of terrorist ideology and violent extremism and the use of media and the Internet for terrorist purposes. Of particular importance here is the strengthening of the CTC's contacts with organizations in the international arena in order to expand the network of counter-terrorism cooperation under the auspices of the United Nations.”

  11. “We believe that the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) is the cornerstone and the foundation of the United Nations counter-terrorism architecture. Recently the Chair ofthe CTC, Mr. Loulichki, briefed Member States on the updated format of the basic documents for the review of the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001) and improvements to the rules for its work with respect to the outcome of country visits. We are convinced that those reforms and the continuation of the practice of country visits will allow the CTC to more effectively carry out its mandate, complementing the process of the implementation of the United Nations Global Counter- Terrorism Strategy and the work being done in this area by the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force.”

  12. “Of most serious concern today are the developments in Syria and the region. Almost daily, the region is witnessing terrorist attacks, the uncontrolled proliferation of weapons and infiltration by combatants. We condemn in the strongest terms terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, by whomsoever committed. We expect other countries to take the same unwavering stance in combating this global scourge. Double standards, the categorization of terrorists as good or bad, and any attempts to justify barbaric activities are absolutely inadmissible. Against that backdrop, the activities of the three counter-terrorism Committees and the strengthening of their cooperation play a key role in increasing the effectiveness of the Security Council in the fight against terrorism.”

  13. “Mr. Zagaynov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): We thank the Permanent Representatives of the Republic of Korea, Australia and Morocco for their detailed reports on the Committees they chair. We take note of their fruitful work in the context of their chairmanships. Terrorism, despite all of the efforts of the international community, remains one of the most serious threats to international peace and security. That is evidenced by the ongoing terrorist attacks in various areas of the world, to which innocent people, including children, daily fall victim. It is clear that terrorism adapts itself to new realities at breakneck speed, becoming ever more serious and acquiring new dimensions. More often than not, terrorist attacks are occurring in regions of the world where this phenomenon had never before been seen.”
