e-Roundup: Implementation of Security Council Resolution 1325 at Ten: Looking Back and Looking Ahead

October 2010 marks the tenth anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution (SCR) 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, which stresses the importance of women's participation in peace negotiations, calls for the full inclusion of women in all aspects of peace processes and provides a political framework in which women's issues and perspectives become relevant to all functions of the Security Council.

This special e-Roundup aims to provide background information on SCR 1325 and the three resolutions that build on it – 1820, 1888 and 1889 – and to highlight some of the events taking place to commemorate a decade of Resolution 1325.

The United Nations Non-Governmental Liaison Service (NGLS) promotes constructive relations between the United Nations and civil society through dynamic partnerships to foster greater coherence around cross-cutting and emerging issues on the UN's agenda and by facilitating meaningful civil society engagement in UN processes.

Drawing on its inter-agency nature and UN system-wide perspective, NGLS provides strategic information, analysis and support to a wide range of constituencies, using its unique convening and networking capacity to strengthen multistakeholder dialogue and alliance-building on core UN issues.
