Denmark fully agrees with the recommendations of the Secretary-General on ensuring accountability. We also emphasize the stated need for concerted efforts to collect data. At the end of the day, it is results that count. It is the responsibility of the United Nations system, as well as of national Governments, to increase the visibility of the results of initiatives undertaken to ensure that the resolution has a genuine impact on the role and status of girls and women in conflict. We hope that we will soon come much closer to full and equal participation of women in peace processes, at all levels of negotiation and decision- making, and that we can not only effectively protect the rights of women but also dramatically reduce and eventually eliminate sexual violence. We have cases that show that progress is possible. Rwanda is an excellent example of how a country can emerge successfully from conflict when women enjoy equal rights and decision-making power. Resolution 1325 (2000), if and when it is effectively implemented in other conflict situations, can provide similar, positive results.
