Austria is committed to the objectives of resolution 1325 (2000). Our activities are firmly based on a national action plan adopted in August 2007. A working group made up of representatives of all ministries involved and the Austrian Development Agency reports annually to the Council of Ministers on measures undertaken under this action plan. Gender and human rights training have been included more systematically in the predeployment training of police and military personnel participating in peacekeeping operations. Additionally, Austria, together with UNIFEM, supports women's networks in the western Balkans and preparatory work for national action plans in the region.
