Agreeing that active participation of civil society groups, including WOMEN's groups, is essential to the political process and can contribute to making any future settlement sustainable, recalling that WOMEN play a critically important role in peace processes, welcoming all efforts to promote bicommunal contacts and events including, inter alia, on the part of all United Nations bodies on the island, and urging the two sides to promote the active engagement of civil society and the encouragement of cooperation between economic and commercial bodie s and to remove all obstacles to such contacts,
