Women particularly suffer during various crisis situations, not only during armed conflicts that are a threat to international peace and security. We welcome the use of background information provided by the Council on questions of violence against women by the General Assembly, the Peacebuilding Commission, the Human Rights Council and the Commission on the Status of Women within their mandates. It is important, however, to adhere to the existing division of labour in the Organization and not duplicate efforts or intrude upon one another's area's of authority. The problems of family violence, women's health, education and many others are being successfully dealt with by other United Nations bodies. The Council must, under resolution 1325 (2000), consider women's issues solely as they relate to the theme of maintaining peace and security and strictly with regard to those situations that are included on its agenda.
