Without such mechanisms we consider it difficult to make further substantive progress. This should be part of an overall strengthened effort, with increased funding, on the part of the Security Council, as well as all United Nations bodies and Member States, to implement resolution 1325 (2000). Also, in order to provide a more coordinated approach to the work on women and peace and security, we support the appointment by the Secretary-General of a special representative for this area.
