UN Human Rights Council Session 23 - Panel
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN & THE HUMAN RIGHT TO PEACE
May 31, 20l3
3:00 pm - 5:00 p.m.
Palais des Nations - Room XXV
Geneva, Switzerland
The goal of this Panel to define the
serious and protracted violence against women dimensions in conflict, and the
reason why women past, present, and future, want peace. The Panel will address
the importance of the Human Right to Peace as a mechanism for advocacy for
peace. The unique feature of a Human Right to Peace is that it would provide a
UN document of substantive commitment of Member States to create a culture of
peace, not react after the traumas of war and conflict. The Human Right to
Peace would help protect the human rights defined in many important UN
documents, as Security Council Resolution 1325, but so often lost or elusive
before, during, and after conflict, especially for women and girls.
