Ce vendredi, 25 ans jour pour jour après les attentats du 11-Septembre contre les États-Unis, une cérémonie solennelle s’est tenue au siège de l’OTAN, en présence des représentants permanents des pays de l’Alliance et de membres du personnel diplomatique, civil et militaire de l’Organisation.
La secrétaire générale déléguée de l’OTAN, Mme Radmila Shekerinska, le chargé d’affaires de la mission des États-Unis auprès de l’Organisation, M. Scott Oudkirk, et le représentant militaire des États-Unis auprès du Comité militaire, le général de corps d’armée William D. « Hank » Taylor, ont chacun prononcé un discours devant le mémorial 11-Septembre et Article 5, dressé sur le site du siège.
La secrétaire générale déléguée a rappelé que ce jour-là, « [l]es États-Unis n’étaient pas seuls. Leurs amis, leurs alliés, étaient à leurs côtés, comme ils le sont encore aujourd’hui. C’est à la suite des attentats du 11-Septembre que l’article 5 a été invoqué pour la première – et unique – fois de l’histoire de l’OTAN. Un pour tous, tous pour un. C’est cette promesse qui nous unit au quotidien. Qui fait notre force et garantit notre sécurité, envers et contre tout. »
Une minute de silence a été observée à l’heure exacte de la première attaque, qui a visé la tour Nord du World Trade Center. Mme Shekerinska a repris la parole à la fin de la cérémonie : « Les ténèbres de la terreur ne l’ont pas emporté, il y a 25 ans. Et elles ne l’emporteront jamais. »
En hommage aux victimes des attentats et aux sacrifices consentis par les membres des forces armées depuis lors, les drapeaux ont été mis en berne au siège de l’OTAN, ainsi que sur les sites du Commandement allié Opérations à Mons (Belgique) et du Commandement allié Transformation à Norfolk, en Virginie.
