Statement of Cambodia

In the twenty-first century, it is more evident than ever that women play an integral part in our global efforts in the prevention and resolution of conflicts, peace negotiations, peacebuilding and providing humanitarian response. Women are an integral part of global society and therefore should be no longer overlooked. We are currently witnessing changes in how peace is defined. Peace does not mean only the absence of war, but can also be sustained through a more inclusive political process that includes the upholding of justice, reconciliation and the promotion of human rights. In this regard, it is worth looking at the analysis and recommendations in the global study on the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000).
