That is why we welcome the indicators introduced by the Secretary-General in his report, as they can serve as a valuable instrument for planning and decision-making and can be used as a diagnostic tool and road map. The most important thing is that we be able, in coming years, to assess with certainty that we are heading in the right direction. The indicators could lay the foundations for a coherent and coordinated approach for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). To achieve this, we need additional efforts in order to ensure its effective implementation and, above all, to change the reality on the ground. The Council must begin by implementing the indicators in its own work and decisions.
