The intrinsic complementarity that exists between participation and protection is probably the main concept at the heart of resolution 1325 (2000), on which so much has been built and developed. It is therefore crucial to continue to promote greater participation by women in the various forums and areas linked to peace processes. In that regard, I should like to conclude by making special mention of the appointment of Ms. Michelle Bachelet at the helm of UN Women. We are certain that with her leadership, that new entity will play a central role in all areas linked with the women and peace and security agenda at the United Nations.
