My delegation is a long-standing supporter of the consistent mainstreaming of the Council's thematic agenda into its country-specific work. In partnership with Switzerland, we have supported the publication of the 2010 Women, Peace and Security Handbook by PeaceWomen, which has just been released in a second edition. To increase its usability, we made the handbook available as a mobile application. The handbook makes the complex women, peace and security agenda accessible by breaking it down into specific topics. In addition, an overview of the Council's most relevant previously agreed language has been included so as to ensure that the Council integrates its own decisions on women, peace and security into its country-specific work. It could thereby serve as a practical tool for the drafters of Council resolutions. We hope that Council members will continue making good use of it.
