National Implementation

National Implementation of Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) and the related resolution (SCR 1820 (2008); SCR 1888 (2009); SCR 1889 (2009); SCR 1960 (2010)) is an important tool for furthering the women, peace and security agenda.

In its Presidential Statements S/PRST/2004/40 and S/PRST/2005/52, the Security Council called on Member States to implement resolution 1325 (2000), including through the development of national action plans (NAPs) or other national level strategies.

Presently, 36 countries have approved NAPs and numerous others are currently in the drafting phase. See the individual NAPs in the drop down menu below and a full list here. See also Frequently Asked Questions about NAPs

WILPF sections have engaged in many of these NAP processes including WILPF Sweden, WILPF UK, WILPF Australia, WILPF DRC, WILPF US and others. See here for further information. Read more about the NAP Initiative.
