As emphasized in the Secretary-General's report to the Council on the rule of law and transitional justice in conflict and post-conflict societies, all rule of law programmes and transitional justice mechanisms have to be planned and implemented in a manner sensitive to the specific needs and rights of women and children. Evaluations of the specific impact of transitional justice measures on marginalized groups of society should be conducted on a more systematic basis. In view of the unique and disproportionate effects of conflict on women and children, we must enhance our efforts to ensure women's access to justice.
