Extract:

The United Nations clearly has an important role to play in this matter, and we applaud the creation of UN-Women and an institutional advancement of singular importance. We should strengthen its capacity to offer leadership and to monitor accountability within the whole System regarding gender equity. As to the mandate stemming from resolution 1325, we support increased participation of women in peacebuilding and in assessing civil society capacity in post-conflict situations to be consistent with the topic of women, peace and security. We find it indispensable to acknowledge women as peace builders and contributors to stability. Precisely the fact of having suffered from the impact of conflicts in a disproportionate manner heightens the importance of their participating in peace processes.
