Kuwait reiterates its condemnation of terror in all its forms & manifestations
UNSC holds session on threats to intl peace and security
Kuwait Permanent Representative at the UN Mansour Al-Otaibi speaking during the Security Council session. NEW YORK, Aug 28, (KUNA): Kuwait has renewed its condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, whatever its motives, as it is a criminal act that is not justified and should not be linked to any religion, nationality, civilization or ethnic group.
This came in a speech last night by Kuwait at the Security Council session on threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts, which was delivered by Kuwait’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Mansour Al-Otaibi.
“The fight against terrorism calls for mobilizing all international efforts to confront this criminal scourge by taking measures to ensure respect for human rights, the rule of law and good governance,” he said.
He pointed out that despite the victories achieved by the international community against the terrorist organizations, especially against the socalled Islamic State or DAESH and the military defeat suffered by the organization in Syria with the fall of the city of Baghuz in the province of Deir Ezzor in March, but the Islamic State was not fully eliminated.
Al-Otaibi added that the so-called Islamic State operates and grows secretly in Iraq, Syria and other regions around the world by developing its methods, whether in terrorist operations, financing such operations or recruiting individuals according to the available resources.
He noted the report of the Secretary-General, which indicated that the so-called IS is still able to send money to carry out its acts of sabotage in ways that are difficult to detect by the authorities in light of the wealth they control, which amounts to about $300 million. The war against IS in Iraq and Syria has left many humanitarian and security threats and challenges, for example, the phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters, returnees, migrants and their families, he said.
