Kazakhstan Participation

Extract:

At the same time, despite laudable strides made, there is still insufficient participation and leadership by women, both in times of conflict and of peace. As the Secretary-General underscored in his report, the overall share of women is either at the same level or has even regressed in many key areas.

We recognize the vital role of women in United Nations peacekeeping and conflict resolution. We are presently contributing by deploying our highly qualified military observers with gender competence to the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara and the United Nations Operation in Côte d’Ivoire. Kazakhstan has signed the London Communiqué, which, among other topics, highlights the role of women in peacekeeping. We also support the new United Nations initiative for the appointment of more women in senior United Nations leadership positions and, at the same time, doubling the number of women in the United Nations peacekeeping operations by 2020.
