It is inconvenient to do so, and we have not confronted forcefully enough the intolerance, sectarianism, and hopelessness that feeds violent extremism in to many parts of the globe. Too many parts of the globe. Fellow delegates, we come together as United Nations with a choice to make. We can renew the International System that has enabled so much progress, or we can allow ourselves to be pulled back by an undertow of instability. We can reaffirm our collective response ability to confront global problems, or be swamped by more and more outbreaks of instability. And for america, the choice is clear error we choose hope clear. We choose hope over fear. We see the future not as something out of our control, but something we can shape for the better through concerted and collective efforts. We reject fatalism or cynicism when it comes to human affairs. We choose to work for the world as it should be, as our children deserve it to be. There is much that must be done to meet the test of thi
The problem of foreign terrorist fighters has seriously worsened. We need a comprehensive approach that encompasses social and ideological components and also that would ensure respect for the sovereignty of all states. We support the initiative of the u. S. Presidency and the Security Council to adopt a resolution aimed at choking off any activities of foreign terrorist fighters. Likee same time, we would to caution again the temptation to narrow down the problem because of the Islamic State with its ideology. There is a need to consider the problems of terrorism and in all its dimensions. Establish a form involving countries of the region, the african union, league of arab states, the permanent five members of the un Security Council council, and other stakeholders. We should address longstanding conflicts primary being the arabisraeli conflict. This is one of the primary reasons enabling terrorist to receive moral support and recruit ever new members into their ranks. We call upon c
Developed countries and we are giving humanitarian aid to countries threatened by isil and foreign fighters. E must go further we must remain ever vigilant against cyber and Nuclear Terrorism and the utter terror and destruction they could unleash. Cyber is used to finance, recruit, and incite violence. We must prevent cyberspace from becoming not only the target of terror, but also a tool of terror. Nuclear terrorism however unthinkable is also a possibility. Seenost9 11 world has terrorist groups seeking nuclear materials. This is why International Efforts to prevent Nuclear Terrorism must be stepped up. President obamas leadership in proposing a summit on Nuclear Security five years ago in this say the Global Vision for Nuclear Security is getting stronger. We have a collective result is may a kickstart concrete, International Actions against the new scourge of foreign fighters.

[indiscernible] unifying framework that should not deal with repression. We cannot wait until more people are killed. We cannot overcome terrorism unless society is effected. Such as what we see in syria. In this regard, we need to refer to the following items. We have for the military action. S not the sole solution to bee clinical aspect credible, and we should avoid double standards. When civilians are aimed, the response needs to be the same regardless of the origins of this violence against civilians. One cannot stand by while thousands are killed. There is always the explanation for this but i fear that this gives a sense that there is a double standard. You we need to ensure the rule of law and civilians should not be the victims once again. [indiscernible] all efforts that are based on International Consensus to put an end to this scourge regardless of its motivations or the excuses given for it. I want to thank his highness for his statement. Unfortunately, i am being called t
Edward snowden still feeding surveillance stories to the guardian still making news. Paris has been in the headlines for the past couple of weeks and chances are you havent heard of another date line which has seen for more bloodshed in eastern nigeria. Its been under constant attack by the mill stand group boko haram. The death toll there depends on the source. Some say 2,000 the military at 150. That encapsulates the problem with covering this story. Very little is verifiable, because much that have corner of the country is under boko harams control. Our only real window comes from satellite imagery because the region is inaccessible to the authorities let alone the media. Mobile phones havent worked there for months, so social media has no way to report what is happening.
