NGO Working Group: Letter to Member States on the Open Debate

Theme: Security Council Mechanism for Implementation of UNSCR 1325

France

I see four lines of action that we will have to follow simultaneously: [including] greater vigilance throughout the Council's agenda. The proposals I made last year are still current. The idea is to have the "1325 reflex" in the Council's day-to-day work.

A mission from the Council under the leadership of France will go to the Great Lakes from November 4 to 11 : we will ensure that it allows Council members to engage in dialogue with local NGOs that are participating in the follow-up of resolution 1325 in the field. We will also be particularly attentive to the way in which the directives to combat sexual abuse in the PKOs are implemented.

Fiji:

For five years, the Security Council has been seized with the issue on "Women, Peace and Security" and now that we have an Action Plan, we ought to move forward and establish a focal point and an expert level working group to ensure the integration of resolution 1325 in the Council's work.

Sri Lanka

While the General Assembly, the Commission of Human Rights and the Commission of the Status of Women have addressed these issues from time to time, the Security Council, the UN apex body that is mandated to ensure international peace and security, by this Resolution provided an impetus to mainstream gender perspective in promoting peace and security.

[I]t has now become incumbent upon the Security Council to review the progress made in the implementation of its resolution, as well as to consider further practical measures to strengthen the safety-net and security for women in situations of armed conflict and to promote their role in peace-building. In doing so, it is essential that the Security Council consider ... establish[ing] a focal point to ensure the integration of Resolution 1325 in the work programme of the Security Council as well as in the mandates, processes and mechanisms of all relevant UN Agencies

Commonwealth


… the Security Council itself could consider designing an action plan to guide its role in monitoring implementation of resolution 1325.
