Following the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), we have noted with appreciation the Security Council's increased commitment to women's role in peace and security, which has been illustrated not only in its active participation, but also in its role as key promoter in the United Nations system in advancing the women and peace and security agenda. We are heartened to see greater awareness at both the national and international levels, resulting in an unprecedented number of activities carried out in highly diverse forms and in a wide range of areas by all stakeholders to promote women's role and rights in relation to peace and security.
