Report of the Secretary-General on Women, Peace and Security (2006)

In his statement made on behalf of the Security Council (S/PRST/2005/52), the President of the Council welcomed the United Nations System-wide Action Plan for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), contained in the report of the Secretary-General on women, peace and security (S/2005/636, annex).

The Action Plan covers virtually all major areas of action in the field of women, peace and security, reflecting the mandates provided by the Security Council in its resolution 1325 (2000) and the relevant presidential statements. It encompasses a total of 269 actions and provides a framework for inter-agency activities during the period 2005-2007. Activities are clustered under each area of action according to a typology of action, for example, gender mainstreaming policy and strategy development, capacity-building, support to local women's organizations, research and knowledge management, and advisory services.
