Ireland also welcomes the recent report of the Secretary-General on women, peace and security, noting in particular the comprehensive recommendations and the update on the set of indicators which will be used to track implementation of Resolution 1325 at the global level. We also warmly welcome the recent report of the Secretary-General on women's participation in peacebuilding, in particular its concrete and forward-looking seven-point action plan. The commitment to allocate 15% of UN-managed funds in support of peacebuilding to projects whose principal objective is to address women's specific needs, advance gender equality or empower women, is especially laudable.
