STATEMENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION, October, 2015

In this context, we support a number of the conclusions reached by the Secretary- General, for example, the fact that there is still insufficient participation of women in conflict-resolution and post- conflict-reconstruction processes, despite the existence of an official normative framework. We agree that there is a need to prevent conflicts at an early stage. At the same time, we believe that conflict prevention must be based on international law, including the Charter of the United Nations.
