STATEMENT OF IRELAND, October, 2016

Extract:

Again, looking beyond the immediate, the implementation of the specific Sustainable Development Goals on gender equality and on peaceful and inclusive societies, which we have all committed to under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (General Assembly resolution 70/1), will be crucial. The challenge in 2015 is not a lack of a normative framework, but a lacuna in implementation. Today’s resolution 2242 (2015), which Ireland co-sponsored, is another positive step. To assist in taking action, I can announce today that Ireland will support the Global Acceleration Instrument for Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action with a minimum of €200,000. Tools like that must be supported so we miss no opportunities to really effect change.
