Statement of Guatemala

Extract: 

We welcome the fact that the women and peace and security agenda is being addressed in a cross-cutting fashion, in coordination with the United Nations Peacebuilding Support Office and the Peacebuilding Fund.

In conclusion, we urge all Member States represented here to take this unique opportunity to move towards a much stronger and substantive commitment to gender equality so as to ensure that the empowerment of women and girls becomes one of the cornerstones of peacebuilding.
