STATEMENT OF AUSTRALIA, October, 2015

Extract:

We call on the United Nations system as a whole to respond to the global study’s recommendations. Women and peace and security must be considered and implemented as part of the Secretary-General’s review of peace operations and the review of the United Nations peacebuilding architecture in addition to this high-level review. Global leaders have now agreed to the historic 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (General Assembly resolution 70/1), recognize the links between development, human rights and peace and security, and are placing gender equality at the heart of these efforts. We must, as a global community, do more to deliver on these promises for women around the world.

PeaceWomen Consolidated Themes:

General Women, Peace and Security

Justice, Rule of Law and Security Sector Reform
