Committee Discussion on Al-Fijar
OPENING REMARKS
Tyler Gutteres; Security Council President
Ladies and gentlemen and esteemed collegues of the Security Council.
It has come to the attention in recent days following the tragic and heinous bombing of Air Andaluni Flight 553 that a popular target of terrorists across the world are sites of international travel hubs. As pointed out months ago with the devestating effects of the insurgency in Jaginistan and bombing at a Tregueux Metro Station in April that killed 32 people and injured dozens more, Al-Fijar claimed responsibility, and Zamastanian Intelligence confirmed that they are behind the attacks at both the metro station in April and for the bombing of Flight 553. Al-Fijar is one of more than three dozen factions of rebel, insurgent, and terrorist organizations fighting to take control of Jaginistan and destroy the provisional governments, and expand their campaign of terror across the world. We, collegues of the Coalition, must take some sort of action.
The international community is facing a crisis unlike any other in the history of the Coalition of Crown Albatross, one that is killing people, spreading human suffering, and upending people’s lives. More than ever, Member States are called to act in a coordinated, decisive, inclusive and innovative manner to address the short, medium and long-term impact of terrorism and avert its devastating and far-reaching consequences across sectors through tailored and integrated responses. The three organizations that are the subject of this ministerial debate are playing an important role in promoting regional counter‑terrorism cooperation by facilitating the exchange of critical information and knowledge and the implementation of joint investigations and operations. However, efforts to counter terrorist ideology must be founded on respect for the dignity and human rights of all.
Firstly, I want to reinforce this notion. We are not only bringing this to light because of the attack on our own soil and against our citizens. We have discussed the crisis in Jaginistan and have discussed the strategy of attacking "soft" targets by the terrorists, but it largely went unnoticed and was deemed largely irrelevant. Meanwhile, hundreds of Jaginistani civilians have been killed in insurgent bombings and attacks, and the participants of this chamber sit back idlely without batting an eye.
President Talaal al-Ayub of Jaginistan has asked multiple times for international support. Coalition peacekeepers are currently only consistent of Zamastanian and Quetanan forces, of which there are only 341. 341 peacekeepers for a country of 11.4 million people. I am pledging on behalf of Congressional Hall and President Sakzi that an additional 400 Zamastanian peacekeepers will be deployed to Jaginistan, but we are asking the Coalition for additional support. This is not a combat role, only a peacekeeping one. No direct operations aside protection of supply chains, populated areas, and political provision.
I am noting that, among other achievements, 360 terrorist crimes were prevented and 80 underground cells were eliminated in 2019. In 2020, 273 crimes have been prevented. Seizures of illicit drugs and weapons are being carried out on a regular basis, as well as the establishment of a rapid reaction force for all counter‑terrorism efforts. In this process, there is a need to fully respect international law, particularly human rights law, in the context of counter‑terrorist operations, with some underscoring that success in countering terrorism is dependent on respect for human rights principles.
Additionally, our colleagues in the Austrolis delegation have propped up the issue of all member states of the CCA declaring Al-Fijar as a terrorist group. We know that they have committed terrible atrocities across the world time and time again, and largely go unchecked. Among the bombing at Tregueux and the Air Andaluni flight, Al-Fijar in 2015 committed a brutal and vicious attack against the Bosewall Mall in Autrataya, Utobania, which resulted in 86 deaths. Many smaller scale attacks have taken place annually, especially in developing nations where they largely go unnoticed. In 2020 alone, over 3,000 civilians have been killed by Al-Fijar in Jaginistan, culminating to a global total of 5,000 when you add the rest of the attacks across the world. Other hotspots of their activity include Pekastan, Barangadesh, and the eastern-most provinces of Yuan.
I now open the floor up to conversation and input from other members and welcome any intelligence reports you may provide.
