STATEMENT OF THE UN WOMEN, October, 2015.

We want to emphasize, with respect to regional organizations, whose presence is highly appreciated, that in resolution 2242 (2015) the role of regional organizations is mentioned at least seven times, further pointing out the important role of such organizations. Mass displacements caused by conflict frequently spill across borders and have prompted an increase in the need for regional approaches to the prevention of conflict and to peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding.
