“During the course of 2015, the UN has been carrying out three important reviews:

- of peace operations

- of the peacebuilding architecture

- of Security Council Resolution 1325”

“The UN has established many global standards. Fifteen years ago, the UN Security Council adopted resolution 1325 on women, peace and security. It was a landmark resolution, but its implementation is taking too long. In several war-ravaged towns in Syria, groups of women are calling for a ceasefire and evacuation. They do this at great personal risk. Their bravery should inspire us. We must intensify the implementation of the Security Council resolutions on women, peace and security.”
