STATEMENT OF FRANCE, October, 2015.

Extract:

I have stressed the responsibility of Member States and the United Nations for the implementation of measures related to the women and peace and security agenda. I wish to conclude my remarks by citing France’s actions in that regard. Since 2010, the French Government has adopted two national action plans for the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda. These national action plans are subject to an evaluation of the National Consultative Commission on Human Rights and our Parliament. To that end, France has mobilized several million euros to support some 50 projects dedicated to strengthening the capacities of women in countries in conflict, such as Mali and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and to Syrian refugee women living in camps in neighbouring countries, with the support of UN-Women and several non-governmental organizations.
