Although late in coming, my delegation is pleased to note that on this the tenth anniversary of resolution 1325, there are now signs of increased commitment and action by the Security Council to ensure that the goals of the resolution are fully implemented. The Security Council's expressed intention to take action on a comprehensive set of indicators on the implementation of resolution 1325 is an encouraging development. These indicators would represent a clear step forward for improving accountability and implementation of the groundbreaking Security Council resolution.
