               Resolution 2369 (2017)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 8014th meeting, on
               27 July 2017

                    The Security Council,
                    Welcoming the report of the Secretary-General of 10 July 2017 (S/2017/586)
               on the United Nations operation in Cyprus,
                    Noting that the Government of Cyprus is agreed that in view of the prevailing
               conditions on the island it is necessary to keep the United Nations Peacekeeping
               Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) beyond 31 July 2017,
                     Noting the intention of the Secretary-General to report on his Good Offices in
               the next reporting period, echoing the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the
               responsibility for finding a solution lies first and foremost with the Cypriots
               themselves, and reaffirming the primary role of the United Nations in assisting the
               parties to bring the Cyprus conflict and division of the island to a comprehensive
               and durable settlement,
                     Welcoming the commitments set out in the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot
               leaders’ Joint Statement of 2 April 2017 on the basis of the Joint Declaration
               adopted on 11 February 2014, further welcoming the progress in negotiations since
               then, including the reconvening of the Conference on Cyprus under United Nations
               auspices in June 2017, the participants’ commitment to support the process towards
               a comprehensive settlement in Cyprus, and the support provided by the Secretary-General and Secretary-General’s Special Adviser on Cyprus Espen Barth Eide,
                     Recalling the importance attached by the international community to all
               parties engaging fully, flexibly and constructively in negotiations to se cure a
               settlement and noting that the recent Conference on Cyprus has not resulted in an
               enduring, comprehensive and just settlement based on a bicommunal, bizonal
               federation with political equality, as set out in relevant Security Council resolutions,
               encouraging the sides to sustain their commitment to such a settlement, and
               stressing that the status quo is unsustainable,
                     Noting the need to advance the consideration of and discussions on military

               remaining confidence-building measures, and for agreement on and implementation
               of further steps to build trust between the communities,

                    Reaffirming the importance of continued crossings of the Green Line by
               Cypriots, and encouraging the opening by mutual agreement of other crossing
               points,
                    Convinced of the many important benefits, including economic benefits for all
               Cypriots, that would flow from a comprehensive and durable Cyprus settlement,
               urging the two sides and their leaders to foster positive public rhetoric, and
               encouraging them clearly to explain the benefits of the settlement, as well as the
               need for increased flexibility and compromise in order to secure it, to both
               communities well in advance of any referenda,
                     Highlighting the importance, both political and financial, of the supporting
               role of the international community, and in particular that of all parties concerned in
               taking practical steps towards helping the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot
               leaders to sustain their commitment to a settlement under United Nations auspices;
               taking note of the assessment of the Secretary-General that the security situation on
               the island and along the Green Line remains stable, and urging all sides to avoid any
               action, including violations of the military status quo, which could lead to an
               increase in tension, undermine the progress achieved so far, or damage the goodwill
               on the island,
                    Recalling the Secretary-General’s firm belief that the situation in the buffer
               zone would be improved if both sides accepted the 1989 aide-memoire used by the
               United Nations,
                     Noting with regret that the sides are withholding access to the remaining
               minefields in the buffer zone, and that demining in Cyprus must continue, noting the
               continued danger posed by mines in Cyprus, noting also proposals and discussions
               as well as positive initiatives on demining, and urging rapid agreement on

               Persons on 28 July 2016 regarding review of archival materials, noting that nearly
               half of all missing persons have yet to be located and around 61.5 per cent have yet
               to be identified, urging the opening up of access to all areas expeditiously to allow
               the Committee to carry out its work, and trusting that this process will promote
               reconciliation between the communities,
                     Agreeing that active participation of civil society groups, including women ’s
               groups, is essential to the political process and can contribute to making any future
               settlement sustainable, recalling that women play a critically important role in peace
               processes, welcoming all efforts to promote bicommunal contacts and events
               including, inter alia, on the part of all United Nations bodies on the island, and
               urging the two sides to promote the active engagement of civil society and the
               encouragement of cooperation between economic and commercial bodies and to
               remove all obstacles to such contacts,
                    Stressing the need for the Council to pursue a rigorous, strategic approach to
               peacekeeping deployments,
                     Recognizing the need to regularly review all peacekeeping operations to ensure
               efficiency and effectiveness, including a review of UNFICYP when appropriate, and
               noting the importance of transition planning in relation to the settlement, including
               recommendations as appropriate for further adjustments to the mandate of
               UNFICYP, force levels and other resources and concept of operations, taking into
               account developments on the ground and the views of the parties,

               Resolution 2370 (2017)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 8017th meeting, on
               2 August 2017

                    The Security Council,
                    Recalling its resolutions 1267 (1999), 1373 (2001), 1844 (2008), 1963 (2010),
               2129 (2013), 2195 (2014), 2220 (2015), 2253 (2015), 2322 (2016), 2341 (2017),
               2368 (2017),
                    Reaffirming its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international
               peace and security, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations,
                    Reaffirming its respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political
               independence of all States in accordance with the United Nations Charter,
                     Reaffirming that terrorism in all forms and manifestations constitutes one of
               the most serious threats to international peace and security and that any acts of
               terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their motivations, whenever,
               wherever and by whomsoever committed, and remaining determined to contribute
               further to enhancing the effectiveness of the overall effort to fight this scourge on a
               global level,
                    Reaffirming that terrorism should not be associated with any religion,
               nationality, civilization or ethnic group,
                     Stressing also that States must ensure that any measures taken to combat
               terrorism comply with all their obligations under international law, and should adopt
               such measures in accordance with international law, in particular international
               human rights law, refugee law, and humanitarian law,
                     Gravely concerned that the illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation and
               misuse of small arms and light weapons in many regions of the world continue to
               pose threats to international peace and security, causes significant loss of life,
               contribute to instability and insecurity and continue to und ermine the effectiveness
               of the Security Council in discharging its primary responsibility for the maintenance
               of international peace and security,
                     Strongly condemning the continued flow of weapons, including small arms and
               light weapons, military equipment, unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) and their
               components, and improvised explosive device (IED) components to and between
               ISIL (also known as Da’esh), Al-Qaida, their affiliates, and associated groups,
               illegal armed groups and criminals, and encouraging Member States to prevent and

               disrupt procurement networks for such weapons, systems and components between
               ISIL (also known as Da’esh), Al-Qaida and associated individuals, groups,
               undertakings and entities,
                     Recognizing that the illicit transfer, theft from national stockpiles and illicit
               craft production can be a source of small arms and light weapons which can enable
               terrorist groups to considerably increase their armed capabilities,
                    Noting with grave concern the increasing and frequent global use of
               improvised explosive devices (IED’s) in terrorist attacks,
                     Stressing the paramount need to prevent illegal armed groups, terrorists and
               other unauthorized recipients from, and identify the networks that support them in,
               obtaining, handling, financing, storing, using or seeking access to all types of
               explosives, whether military or civilian, as well as other military or civilian
               materials and components that can be used to manufacture improvised explosive
               devices, including detonators, detonating cords and chemical components, while at
               the same time avoiding any undue restrictions on the legitimate use of those
               materials,
                     Stressing that the active participation and collaboration of all States and
               international, regional and subregional organizations is need ed to impede, impair,
               isolate, and incapacitate the terrorist threat, and emphasizing the importance of
               implementing the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy (GCTS),
               contained in General Assembly resolution 60/288 of 8 September 2006, and its
               subsequent reviews,
                     Expressing concern at the increased use, in a globalized society, by terrorists
               and their supporters of new information and communications technologies, in
               particular the Internet, to facilitate terrorist acts, as well as their use to incite,
               recruit, fund, or plan terrorist acts,
                     Reiterating its call upon Member States to continue information-sharing,
               through appropriate channels and arrangements, and consistent with international
               and domestic law, on individuals and entities implicated in terrorist activities, in
               particular their supply of weapons and sources of material support, and on the
               ongoing international counter- terrorism cooperation including among special
               services, security agencies and law enforcement organizations and criminal justice
               authorities,
                     Acknowledging the important contribution of relevant Council-mandated arms
               embargoes in helping to eliminate the supply of small arms and light weapons to
               terrorists, and noting the need to improve information sharing on possible arms
               embargo violations between groups of experts, peacekeeping missions within their
               mandates and other relevant United Nations entities,
                     Reaffirming its resolution 1373 (2001) and in particular its decisions that all
               States shall prevent and suppress the financing of terrorist acts and refrain from
               providing any form of support, active or passive, to entities or perso ns involved in
               terrorist acts, including by suppressing recruitment of members of terrorist groups

               Resolution 2371 (2017)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 8019th meeting, on
               5 August 2017

                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling its previous relevant resolutions, including resolution 825 (1993),
               resolution 1540 (2004), resolution 1695 (2006), resolution 1718 (2006), resolution
               1874 (2009), resolution 1887 (2009), resolution 2087 (2013), resolution 2094
               (2013), resolution 2270 (2016), resolution 2321 (2016), and resolution 2356 (2017),
               as well as the statements of its President of 6 October 2006 (S/PRST/2006/41),
               13 April 2009 (S/PRST/2009/7) and 16 April 2012 (S/PRST/2012/13),
                    Reaffirming that proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, as
               well as their means of delivery, constitutes a threat to international peace and
               security,
                     Expressing its gravest concern at the July 3 and July 28 of 2017 ballistic
               missile tests by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (“the DPRK”), which
               the DPRK has stated were tests of intercontinental ballistic missiles, in violation of
               resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013), 2270 (2016), 2321
               (2016), and 2356 (2017), and at the challenge such tests constitute to the Treaty on
               Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (“the NPT”) and to international efforts
               aimed at strengthening the global regime of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons,
               and the danger they pose to peace and stability in the region and beyond,
                    Underlining once again the importance that the DPRK respond to other
               security and humanitarian concerns of the international community,
                    Underlining also that measures imposed by this resolution are not intended to
               have adverse humanitarian consequences for the civilian population of the DPRK,
                     Expressing serious concern that the DPRK has continued to violate relevant
               Security Council resolutions through repeated launches and attempted launches of
               ballistic missiles, and noting that all such ballistic missile activities contribute to the
               DPRK’s development of nuclear weapons delivery systems and increase tension in
               the region and beyond,
                    Expressing continued concern that the DPRK is abusing the privileges and
               immunities accorded under the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular
               Relations,

S/RES/2371 (2017)

                    Expressing great concern that the DPRK’s prohibited arms sales have
               generated revenues that are diverted to the pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic
               missiles while DPRK citizens have unmet needs,
                    Expressing its gravest concern that the DPRK’s ongoing nuclear - and ballistic
               missile-related activities have further generated increased tension in the region and
               beyond, and determining that there continues to exist a clear threat to international
               peace and security,

                     2.    Reaffirms its decisions that the DPRK shall not conduct any further
               launches that use ballistic missile technology, nuclear tests, or any other
               provocation; shall suspend all activities related to its ballistic missile program and

               launches; shall abandon all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs in a
               complete, verifiable and irreversible manner, and immediately cease all related
