"Madam President, the wave of terror inflicted by ISIS across Iraq and Syria continues to pose a major threat to global security. We have just witnessed the barbaric murder of the British aid worker David Haines. In the face of these high-profile acts of evil aimed at intimidating Western governments, we must also not forget the daily acts of barbarity that ISIS inflicts on Shia Muslims, Mandaeans, Turkmen, Yazidis and Christians. A number of NATO states have already been rightly arming the brave Kurdish Peshmerga which, with the US air strikes, has proven an effective way in halting some of the gains made by IS.
I welcome yesterday’s announcement in Paris of a wide-ranging coalition made up of both Western and Arab nations against ISIS. Ahead of the Security Council meeting of 24 September we must also now find a way to extend these military actions against IS in Syria, particularly in Raqqa, their capital, as well as in Iraq where operations are currently going on.
Lastly, the EU needs to address the issue of more than 1000 EU citizens who are fighting as ISIS jihadis and how we prevent their return to commit terrorist acts in our own countries. This threat unusually posed by ISIS is one rare issue in foreign policy which unites all major powers across the globe, both democratic and authoritarian. The USA, China, Russia, India and EU Member States are all united in absolutely repelling and being revolted by and opposing this awful menace to global security."@en1
