STATEMENT OF KAZAKHSTAN, October, 2015.

Secondly, all comprehensive, multidimensional and hybrid peacekeeping operations should have a strong women and peace and security mandate, with gender specialists to provide capacity-building in the military, police and civilian sectors, as well as in units that focus on the rule of law, transitional justice and human rights. Peacekeeping operations must strive for gender mainstreaming, just as at Headquarters. My delegation fully endorses the Secretary-General’s zero-tolerance policy, which must be strictly enforced without any impunity. Member States should support that initiative with expertise and funding, so that the impact of resolution 1325 (2000) can be durable and wide-reaching, especially in fragile and insecure societies.
