In April this year, Japan hosted the Security Council ministerial open debate on post-conflict peacebuilding (see S/PV.6299), with then-Minister for Foreign Affairs Okada serving as President. The presidential statement adopted at that meeting pointed
out the need for “an integrated approach, which strengthens coherence between political, security, development, human rights and rule of law activities” (S/PRST/2010/7). We believe that the same approach would prove effective in the implementation of
resolution 1325 (2000).
