Monthly Action Points (MAP) on Women, Peace and Security, NGOWG, November 2010

In October, 2010, the international community will mark the 10th Anniversary of the adoption of 1325, the first Security Council Resolution on women, peace and security. Throughout the year leading up to this anniversary, the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security is producing Monthly Action Points, or MAPs, a series of recommendations that show how each United Nations Security Council President can provide leadership on, and how the Security Council as a whole can systematically meet its obligations to women in conflict. For November, in which Austria holds the Security Council Presidency, our MAP provides recommendations on Protection of Civilians, Counter-Terrorism, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, and Somalia.
