During its 1999-2000 term as a non-permanent member of the Security Council, Argentina maintained an active participation in the negotiations and consultations undertaken with women's organizations and civil society organizations focusing on gender issues that culminated in the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000). The same spirit and the same criteria will guide the implementation of our Action Plan and the participation of Argentina in the Security Council in 2013 and 2014. That is a responsibility with which we were honoured by the General Assembly on 18 October.
