Ireland

Extract: 

“In particular, our own experience of conflict in Ireland has taught us that full and equal participation by women in decisions around peace and security are vital to building a sustainable peace.”

“I hope SG Ban may be succeeded by a brilliant female Secretary General in due course - this would send a powerful message to women and men around the world that here at the UN, we are willing to remove the barriers that prevent women from fulfilling their potential.”
