The increased awareness of gender across the United Nations system is indeed encouraging. In this respect, Denmark welcomes the recent decision of the General Assembly to establish a United Nations gender entity. We hope that the entity will bring about the much needed improvements to the work of the United Nations, including in the area of international peace and security. We look forward to receiving a proposal on the details of the entity, as well as the early appointment of the new under-secretary-general. We must not lose momentum on this topic.
