Statement of Belgium; May 24, 2016.

Extract:

In conclusion, Belgium welcomes the initiatives of the African Union aimed at implementing resolution 1325 (2000), on women and peace and security. I am thinking specifically of the appointment in January 2014 of Ms. Bineta Diop as Special Envoy for Women, Peace and Security by the President of the African Union Commission. I also note the launch in June 2014 of the five-year Gender, Peace and Security programme, which was designed to increase the participation of women in promoting peace and security, while enhancing their protection in conflict and post-conflict situations in Africa.
