We believe that a drastic solution to the problem of violence against women is to resolve conflicts,
to settle them at the very outset, to ensure that peace prevails, to set up an effective and
transparent security sector, to accelerate development in post-conflict States and to strengthen the
role of women in all fields. That is something in which the United Nations specialized agencies
can participate by providing assistance to national efforts towards women's advancement through
the financing of education and training programmes focused as a priority on women and girls.
Finally, I wish to reiterate the support of my country for all of the recommendations included in
paragraph 97 of the report of the Secretary-General (S/2008/622) to accelerate the full
implementation of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000).
