The President
We have 17 speakers on our list, including Colombia, who has joined the list of speakers.
I now give the floor to the representative of Peru.
Mr. de Rivero (Peru)
The convening of this open debate bears witness to the recognition that all States must be involved in combating terrorism, and that is why I am grateful to you, Mr. President, for having convened this debate. I would also like to thank Ambassador Andrey Denisov, Chairman of the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC), for his introduction of the Committee's plan for the final quarter of the year, and to tell him that my country fully supports him in his functions.
Simply stated, Peru has zero tolerance for terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, wherever and by whomever such acts may be committed. We fought against that scourge for 13 years and managed to overcome it. We are not novices in combating terrorism, and as a result we are happy to make all of our experience available to the international community.
Based upon our successful experience in combating terrorism, my country is in a position to testify that one cannot effectively combat that scourge without an integrated approach, including legal aspects such as new legislation, but also including social and political aspects and, above all, operational and intelligence aspects, which are often even more productive than armed confrontation.
It is vital for that comprehensive struggle to be carried out with respect for human rights and international law. The State can never win the battle against terrorism if it uses the same methods as the terrorists, because it will thus lose its legitimacy. Another long-term aspect of the integrated approach against terrorism is to combat social marginalization, poverty and resentment, because those are the areas in which the virus of terrorism grows and flourishes.
The Committee's work against terrorism must be carried out in a coordinated manner, in close cooperation with other organs of the Council that are also concerned with terrorism, but also with other units in the United Nations, as well as with other international, regional and subregional organizations, in order to focus our efforts and avoid redundancy.
With regard to reporting, my country welcomes the rapidity and effectiveness with which the Committee works in examining the reports. However, we note that while some countries will soon be preparing their fifth report, others have only presented two. According to the numbers cited by the Chairman of the Committee, while 191 Member States have presented their first report, 160 have presented a second and 117 have presented a third, only 78 have presented their fourth. In the opinion of my delegation, the Committee must continue to collaborate closely with States that have not been able to discharge their obligation to report by identifying the reasons why such a great number of States are lagging behind.
Despite its great experience in the field, Peru, along with other developing countries, must still make tremendous efforts to honour the requests for information presented by the Committee. That must be taken into consideration when sending successive requests for more information. It might be a good idea for the reports to be drawn up in light of the particular features of the situation in a given State -- in particular, the experience a country may have in combating terrorism. When analysing a country's legislation, experts familiar with the country's legal system should participate.
As for the hiring of personnel and experts for the Counter-Terrorism Committee and the Counter-Terrorism Executive Directorate, my delegation considers that, in addition to making certain that persons of the highest degree of ability and competence be included, we must have professionals from all the geographical regions and all the legal traditions -- some with governmental experience and others with non-governmental experience, including those who possess strategic abilities in terms of combating terrorism.
Finally, we believe that in complying with the terms of resolution 1566 (2004), the Council or the Committee should hold open meetings where we can learn from the experience of countries that have successfully confronted terrorism. That would be a valuable way to share lessons learned, to correct errors and to formulate better methods.
The President
I now give the floor to His Excellency the Foreign Secretary of Bangladesh.
Mr. Chowdhury (Bangladesh)
