“Next year, we will also reflect our progress in the Women, Peace and Security agenda, fifteen years after it was established by Security Council resolution 1325. Clearly, we will have to find new strategies to protect women in conflict from violence, in particular sexual violence. And clearly, we are still far from using the full potential of women as agents of peace. Men have always been in charge of making war, and men have been in charge of making peace. Their record is not impressive. Women must get their seat at the negotiation table – where they belong, and where they are needed. I am grateful to the Security-General for taking the lead on this issue and increasing appointing women to high positions in mediation and conflict resolution.”
