Context
The year 2010 marks the 10th anniversary of
the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security.
Building on the commitments of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for
Action (adopted at the 4th World Conference on Women), the resolution
acknowledged for the first time the important role of women in the
prevention and resolution of conflicts and in peace building, and the
importance of their equal participation and full involvement in all
efforts for the maintenance and promotion of peace and security.
As part of resolution 1325 celebrations, a
high level Ministerial debate is due to take place at the Security
Council in New York in October. The debate will focus on reviewing
the implementation of resolution 1325 and subsequent resolutions, as
well as examining ways to further enhance their impact.
To ensure input at this ministerial debate
the European Union and Belgium (who will hold the Presidency from July 2010)
have planned three events. These events in Brussels, Geneva and New
York are focused around
the three pillars of the resolution 1325: participation (Brussels), protection (Geneva)
and prevention (New
York).
Women, Peace and Security: from resolution
to action, the Geneva Consultation will be held on the 15 and 16
September 2010 and will focus on protection. It is organized by the Belgium mission and the EU Delegation, in partnership
with relevant UN agencies and NGOs. It will be coordinated by UNDP,
UNHCR, with the support of UNITAR and the Women’s International League
for Peace and Freedom. The Conference will bring together
representatives from EU Member States, UN organizations and NGOs, from
humanitarian, human rights and security domains.
