The President
I now give the floor to the representative of Pakistan, who wishes to speak in explanation of position on the resolution just adopted.
Ms. Lodhi
My country, Pakistan, has made huge sacrifices in the fight against terrorism — sacrifices that must be valued by fully committing ourselves to defeating this scourge. This commitment has been reflected in the constructive spirit with which my delegation engaged in the review process. It is also the reason why we joined the consensus on resolution 70/291. For us, it was important to send a strong…

Mr. Reyes Rodríguez
Cuba strongly supports the collective efforts of the United Nations in its fight against terrorism. The United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy constitutes a milestone in the international fight against this scourge. The Strategy respects the central role of the General Assembly in that endeavour. We would like to express our appreciation for the efforts made by the Permanent Representat…
Mr. Taula
Global terrorism is by no means a new phenomenon. However, the scope of the threat it poses today, 10 years after the adoption of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, is unprecedented. Hardly a week passes without attacks that carry a significant human cost. Since the last review (see A/68/PV.94 et seq.), the Security Council, the General Assembly and other relevant bodies, inclu…
Ms. Wilson
I would like to thank the delegations of Argentina and Iceland for their tireless efforts as co-facilitators of the review process. No one envied their challenging task. A decade after the adoption of the United Nations Global Counter- Terrorism Strategy, few people today could say their lives have gone untouched by the threat posed by terrorism. This tenth anniversary of the adoption of the Stra…

Mr. Van Oosterom
I have just come from the Mission of Turkey, where I offered condolences on behalf of the Kingdom of the Netherlands for the terrible loss of life in the terrorist attack earlier this week in Istanbul. Such attacks can only serve to strengthen our common resolve to counter terrorism. Terrorism is a grave threat to peace, justice and development, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a partner in …
Mr. Dabbashi
The General Assembly adopted the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy by consensus 10 years ago, but terrorism activities have increased. The nature of terrorism has become increasingly complex due to its changing manifestations, its geographical origins and
the evolution of its tactics. To these elements, we would add the growth in the number of terrorist organizations and in the na…
Mr. Dahl
Terrorism and violent extremism are among the greatest security challenges of our time. They bring death and suffering to innocent people and destruction and insecurity to entire societies and regions. No country is immune, as Norway unfortunately learned in 2011, when it was struck by right-wing extremism.
Since the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy was adopted by consensus in th…
