“Today we continue to suffer from the same threats, and even more serious due to the emergence of various forms of violence which are not limited to kidnappings and displacements, but it also includes sexual violence against women as a primer target, and that is often overlooked during the talk about the crimes committed by those organizations. The acts committed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant are the biggest proves of that and it became a source of concern by the United Arab Emirates.”

The Syrian Ambassador to the United Nations (UN) welcomed the formation of an international coalition "supported internationally, or through agreements or through bilateral cooperation" to fight terrorism in Syria and Iraq.

The Emirate Ambassador Lana Zaki Nusseibeh warned of the increased brutality of the threat posing terrorist groups compared to that of some years ago.
He said "today we continue to suffer from the same threats, and even more serious due to the emergence of various forms of violence which are not limited to kidnappings and displacements, but it also includes sexual violence against women as a primer target, and that is often overlooked during the talk about the crimes committed by those organizations. The acts committed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant are the biggest proves of that and it became a source of concern by the United Arab Emirates.”
The Permanent Representative of Egypt Amr Abdellatif Aboulatta noted the steps taken by his country to tackle terrorism.
He said that the measures taken seek to "combat the issue of foreign terrorist fights. In this respect, I’d like to highlight the fact that the Egyptian Criminal Code does include articles that defy and penalize terrorism."
In a session chaired by US President Barack Obama, the Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution condemning violent extremism and calling on states to prevent the movement of terrorists or terrorist groups by effective border controls and controls on issuance of identity papers and travel documents.
