The recently concluded reviews of the United Nations peacebuilding architecture and peacekeeping operations, and of the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), on women and peace and security, clearly emphasize that.
At this point, I would once again like to stress that establishing mechanisms aimed at ensuring the involvement and active participation of women in preventing conflicts and supporting peace and in post-conflict processes in Africa is very critical.
In our view, the women and peace and security agenda should always be at the centre of United Nations- African Union cooperation in the maintenance of peace and security.
