Building Peace and Ending Impunity: A Consultation on the Report of the Secretary-General on Women's Participation in Peacebuilding

In October 2009, the Security Council passed Resolution 1889. Paragraph 19 requested the Secretary-General to submit to the Council (by October 2010) a report on “women's participation and inclusion in peacebuilding and planning in the aftermath of conflict, taking into consideration the views of the Peacebuilding Commission.” The report will be considered by the Council in the tenth anniversary of the passage of Resolution 1325 in 2000. This provides a valuable opportunity to outline an action-oriented agenda for fully implementing the provisions of that landmark Resolution, which called on all actors to ensure women's meaningful participation in all aspects of preventing, resolving and recovering from conflict.
