Resolution 1325 (2000) remains our most important guideline in enhancing the role of women in
conflict prevention and settlement, post-conflict rehabilitation and the protection of women's
rights during conflicts. We must implement the resolution's provisions by creating equal
opportunities for women to participate actively in all peacekeeping and security efforts and in
enhancing their role in decision-making. To that end, we must ensure genuine overall gender
equality. Therefore, efforts in that area should be undertaken not only by the Security Council, but
also by other relevant United Nations organs, including the General Assembly, the Peacebuilding
Commission, the Human Rights Council and the Commission on the Status of Women.
