We reiterate our determination to implement fully the G7 Action Plan on Countering Terrorism and Violent Extremism adopted at the G7 Ise-Shima Summit. We will enhance our efforts, individually and collectively, to promote better implementation of effective aviation security measures, both through ICAO and through direct action with other states where necessary in order to protect the safety of our citizens. Finally, we encourage the G7 Roma–Lyon Group to continue work on issues related to border and aviation security, enhancing priority countries’ connectivity to INTERPOL Databases and all other areas of cooperation relevant to countering terrorism. ISIL – DA’ESH / SYRIA / IRAQ In the framework of the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL/Da’esh, within International and Regional Organizations and through national and bilateral efforts, we have made significant progress in reducing ISIL/Da’esh’s presence in Syria and Iraq, stabilizing areas freed from ISIL/Da’esh control in Iraq, curbing the flow of foreign terrorist fighters to conflict zones, degrading ISIL/Da’esh’s access to resources and countering its brutal propaganda. We commend the cohesion and outcomes of the Global Coalition and call for further commitment from all its members to achieve the final objective of destroying ISIL/Da’esh. We commit to continuing these efforts in order to complete the liberation of ISIL/Da’esh-held territories, in particular Raqqa and Mosul, and put an end to violence, widespread and gross violations and abuses of human rights and violations of humanitarian law, perpetrated by ISIL/Da’esh, all in the pursuit of finally destroying it. We reiterate our strongest condemnation of these crimes and abuses, including against people belonging to religious and ethnic minorities. There must be accountability for all crimes committed by ISIL/Da’esh in Iraq, Syria and beyond, including the most serious crimes of international concern, and as such, we stand ready to support efforts to hold perpetrators to account. We are determined to defeat ISIL/Da’esh in Iraq and Syria. We will work with local partners to ensure ISIL/Da’esh and other terrorist entities do not reemerge in the area. To this end we call for inclusive reform and reconciliation in Iraq and a genuine political transition based on the 2012 Geneva Communique and the UN Security Council Resolution 2254 in Syria, as well as for humanitarian assistance, the immediate stabilization of the areas liberated from ISIL/Da’esh, supporting governance in areas held by the opposition in Syria, Joint Communiqué | G7 FOREIGN MINISTERS MEETING 5
