The Group of Friends welcomes the recommendations set out in the Secretary-General's report on women and peace and security (S/2010/498), including the global set of indicators on resolution 1325 (2000). The Friends call on the Security Council to endorse those indicators and put them into use. We urge the Council to establish a framework of accountability to ensure that it systematically addresses gaps and challenges and accelerates progress in implementing resolution 1325 (2000). And we call on the Security Council to ensure leadership on women and peace and security within the Council.
