“The threat posed by ISIL / Da’esh and Al-Qaida continues to develop. ISIL continues to maintain capacity to carry out serious terrorist threats, including in Moscow. Despite considerable leadership attrition, counter terrorism pressure in key theatres and questions around leadership and the identity of the so-called caliphate, ISIL has stimulated media coverage, which has amplified a perception of heightened threats.”

“Terrorist groups increasingly leverage advanced technologies, including encrypted communication, machine learning and cryptocurrencies to evade detection and enhance their operational capability. Despite sustained efforts by member states in line with the relevant Security Council resolutions, we see terrorist groups continuously adapting to our counter-terrorism measures and efforts.”

“Resolution 1540 remains a vital component of the global non-proliferation architecture to prevent non-State actors from accessing weapons of mass destruction. The devastating and potentially catastrophic consequences that could result from the use of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons by such actors remain a matter of serious concern for the international community. States have made significant progress towards the full implementation of the resolution as identified by the 1540 Committee through the Comprehensive Review process of 2022. However, we must continue working on the full and effective implementation of Resolution 1540 remains a long-term task.”

Storyline

The Chairs of the three committees tasked with combatting terrorism, today (14 Nov) presented their reports to the Security Council.

Malta’s Ambassador Vanessa Frazier, who chairs the Committee established pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015) concerning Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Da’esh), Al-Qaida and associated individuals, groups, undertakings and entities, said, “the threat posed by ISIL / Daesh and al Qaeda continues to develop. ISIL continues to maintain capacity to carry out serious terrorist threats, including in Moscow. Despite considerable leadership attrition, counter terrorism pressure in key theatres and questions around leadership and the identity of the so-called caliphate, ISIL has stimulated media coverage, which has amplified a perception of heightened threats.”

Algeria’s Ambassador Amar Bendjama, who chairs the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1373 (2001) concerning counter-terrorism, said, “terrorist groups increasingly leverage advanced technologies, including encrypted communication, machine learning and cryptocurrencies to evade detection and enhance their operational capability. Despite sustained efforts by member states in line with the relevant Security Council resolutions, we see terrorist groups continuously adapting to our counter-terrorism measures and efforts.”

For his part, Ecuador’s Ambassador Andrés Montalvo Sosa, who chairs the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), said, “Resolution 1540 remains a vital component of the global non-proliferation architecture to prevent non-State actors from accessing weapons of mass destruction. The devastating and potentially catastrophic consequences that could result from the use of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons by such actors remain a matter of serious concern for the international community. States have made significant progress towards the full implementation of the resolution as identified by the 1540 Committee through the Comprehensive Review process of 2022. However, we must continue working on the full and effective implementation of Resolution 1540 remains a long-term task.”
