The Checklist on Women’s Participation and Gender Perspectives in Security Council Resolutions was developed during a Roundtable held in January 2004 at the Rockefeller Foundation, entitled “Towards International Peace and Human Security: Advancing Prevention, Participation and Protection in the Work of the Security Council.” The Roundtable was co-hosted by the NGOWorking Group on Women, Peace and Security, the Permanent Missions to the UN of Canada, Chile and the United Kingdom. The Roundtable brought together Security Council members as well as representatives from select UN agencies and civil society organizations to discuss how to strengthen the Council’s work in conflict “prevention”, the “participation” of women in peace and security, and the “protection” of civilians. This conceptual framework, known as ‘the three P’s’, was developed by the NGO Working Group to encourage better integration of the five thematic resolutions (Res. 1266 and 1296 on Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict; 1366 on Prevention of Armed Conflict; 1325 on Women, Peace and Security; and 1460 on Children in Armed Conflict), in advancing peace and human security in all the Security Council’s work.

‘Resolution’ here is taken to mean ‘resolution, presidential statement or terms of reference for Security Council fact-finding Missions.’
