STATEMENT OF RWANDA, October, 2015

I join others in thanking the Kingdom of Spain for having organized this important high-level review of resolution 1325 (2000) on the occasion of its fifteenth anniversary. The choice of this specific topic demonstrates Spain’s continued leadership and commitment to the protection and promotion of women’s and girls’ rights in conflict and post-conflict situations and, more importantly, of its eagerness to move beyond rhetoric to concrete action.
