Since the adoption of UNSCR 1325, progress on the WPS agenda has been deeply inconsistent. This expert analysis evaluates the current state of the agenda, with a particular focus on three themes drawn from the most recent UNSC resolution (S/RES/2122): the articulation of a whole-of-UN mandate for improving performance in the implementation of UNSCR 1325; the importance of civil society inclusion; and the upcoming High-Level Review that will take place in 2015, on the 15th anniversary of the adoption of UNSCR 1325.
