Kazakhstan also pays great attention to measures recommended by the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) aimed at increasing the proportion of women sent by troop contributing countries, and deploying more police officers in peacekeeping operations to 20 % by 2014. My delegation endorses setting concrete benchmarks by DPKO for the participation of women in peacekeeping and peacebuilding activities from highest decision making level to on-the-ground field operations and in communities through far reaching awareness raising campaigns on women's rights.
