STATEMENT OF EGYPT, October, 2015

I would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his efforts to highlight this important issue, including in his most recent report on the resolution’s implementation (S/ 2015/716), which particularly emphasizes the problem of resolving the crises facing us of the lack of financing and inequitable selectivity in allocating financial resources, as well as the direct links that the report highlights among development issues, including the importance of supporting countries’ efforts to help their peoples achieve their aspirations and of protecting women in armed conflict and post-conflict situations. Egypt supports the Secretary-General’s call to promote the role of women in its peacekeeping operations and its mediation and conflict-resolution efforts.
