My delegation recognizes the important work that the United Nations has undertaken in increasing the representation and participation of women at high levels within the UN System. The most recent of which were the appointment of the Under-Secretary to the new Gender Entity, UN Women, and the Special Representative of the Secretary General on Sexual Violence in Confllct. Let me once again reiterate Jamaica's heartiest congratulations to both women and assure them of our continued support in fulfllUng their mandate. Nevertheless, Mr President, we believe that much more needs to be done, and in this we call upon Member States, as we all have an integral role to play in ensuring the appointment of qualified women at high levels.
