We have also taken steps to work with UNIFEM to develop indicators. We note that this is an important subject here, and we support the recommendation contained in the presidential statement (S/PRST/2010/22) to incorporate the indicators as a measurement of progress. Furthermore, this positive experience has led us to support the indicators annexed to the Secretary-General's report on women and peace and security (S/2010/498). We believe that these indicators constitute a work in progress and that the Secretary-General should be requested to continue to support the development of a comprehensive framework that can be used as a yardstick for assessment of global progress. Liberia would further support the elaboration of guidelines for data collection and analysis, as well as for a reporting template involving appropriate training opportunities. We would also like to commend the Under- Secretary-General for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women and Executive Director of UN Women, Ms. Michelle Bachelet, and thank her for her presence here today. We pledge our full commitment to the process and ask Governments to wish us well as we strive to improve the condition to women around the world.
