Implementation of Security Council Resolution 1325 at Ten: Looking Back & Looking Ahead - UN NGLS Roundup

October 2010 marks the tenth anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution (SCR) 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, which stresses the importance of women's participation in peace negotiations, calls for the full inclusion of women in all aspects of peace processes and provides a political framework in which women's issues and perspectives become relevant to all functions of the Security Council.

This special e-Roundup aims to provide background information on SCR 1325 and the three resolutions that build on it – 1820, 1888 and 1889 – and to highlight some of the events taking place to commemorate a decade of Resolution 1325.
