Australia welcomes the convening of this open debate on women and peace and security. We commend Guatemala and India for bringing the Council's focus to the particular role played by women's civil society organizations. We thank Deputy Secretary-General Eliasson, the Under- Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN- Women, Ms. Bachelet, the Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Mr. Ladsous, and the representative of the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security, Ms. Diop, for their briefings to the Council, and reiterate our support for continued briefings on the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). Australia looks forward to working with others to move the women and peace and security agenda forward during our term on the Council.
