My country has great expectations of the future contribution of UN Women - a newly established entity of the United Nations family, which can take the lead in revitalizing ongoing efforts to implement SCR 1325, bring about a UN system wide coherence and a greater interrelatedness of key UN and regional human rights instruments, especially focusing on women and children, which have a direct bearing on Res 1325. My delegation recommends strengthening the mandate ofUN Women to serve as the lead agency in implementing efforts for resolutions on Women, Peace and Security. It will have to collaborate with humanitarian, development, human rights, aid-to development agencies, and the Defence Forces of concerned countries. It will also have to engage the participation of women activists, war victims and other groups of women refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants to shape programmes and services at all levels.
