Based on the above reasoning, the UAE sees the importance of supporting international efforts in the field of women's empowerment. In this context we would like to commend proudly the establishment of the United Nations for Women (UN-WOMEN), and we declare extending a contribution of USD5 million to this newly established organ.

Women are among the most vulnerable during conflicts whether internal or otherwise, and hence, must be involved in all vehicles relating to the settlement of disputes and conflict prevention. The absence of women in the process could result in the development of peace agreements which are not comprehensive in scope and which may not address those issues which affected women during the period of conflict and which continue thereafter.

Let me once again welcome the creation of the UN Women, an entity that reflects the firm commitment of our organization to the

Throughout my half a century in politics, I have always been a crusader of peace.

We are also pleased with the creation of UN-Women, and we are certain that it will give further impetus to the promotion and empowerment of women and the achievement of their legitimate rights.

From guaranteeing the responsible and transparent exploitation of natural resources through schemes such as the Kimberley Process, to fully implementing the indicators of the landmark Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security.

The United Nations Organization reached a significant milestone with the launch of UN Women, the United Nation's Entity for Gender Equality and the empowerment of women. It is critical as members of the global community, to break the gender stereotypes which are the root causes of the myriad of gender inequality challenges currently facing most countries.

Chile also supports the launch of UN-Women, headed by our compatriot Michelle Bachelet, with the principal goal of ensuring that men and women have the same rights and opportunities.

We are delighted about a long awaited creation of UN Women which announces the remarkable progress that had been majoring in the last century regarding the the quest for gender equality and representation in parliaments. My government has made an improvement in women's rights, and improvements of their rights a top priority.

My country celebrates the UN-Women entity as it addresses the position of more than half of humankind in all our countries.
