Statement of Azerbaijan

Extract:

We welcome the contribution that landmark resolution 1325 (2000) has made to an increased recognition of the plight of women and girls in situations of armed conflict. In particular, the inclusion of the protection of civilians in the mandates of peacekeeping operations; the incorporation of women- and peace- and security related provisions to peace agreements; the appointment of women as mediators, special representatives, special envoys and heads of missions; the increase in the number of female military and police personnel in United Nations missions; the establishment of the post of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict; the adoption of national action plans on women and peace and security; and the mainstreaming of gender equality and women’s empowerment in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development can all be highlighted.
