However, as the Secretary-General's report notes and as the distinguished speakers before me have also remarked today, much work remains to be done to achieve implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). We note with concern that significant progress is still needed to ensure the equal and substantive participation of women at all levels in peace and security decision-making, particularly in negotiations in post-conflict situations. And we are deeply concerned that peace agreement negotiations and planning for disarmament, demobilization and reintegration continue to take place with little consideration of resolution 1325 (2000).
