Statement of Romania, October, 2015

Security Council resolution 1325 put a most needed emphasis on the importance of women in peace processes. We heard today about the progress made in 15 years, about the remaining challenges and the priorities for action.

Romania believes that all actors - Member States, regional organizations, civil society and the media - should continue to work on implementing the Women, Peace and Security Agenda. Women's active participation in peace processes has proved to be absolutely relevant for making conflict resolution and peacebuilding more effective.
