Statement of Poland, October, 2015

Poland attaches the utmost importance to the practical involvement of women in peacebuilding and peacekeeping. One of the ways to engage them in decision-making is by strengthening their participation in the legal system. Accordingly, we support the candidature of Ms. Agnieszka Klonowiecka-Milart to a judgeship position on the United Nations Dispute Tribunal based in Nairobi. With her 17 years of experience within the United Nations as an international judge for the United Nations on the Supreme Court of Kosovo and the Supreme Court Chamber in Cambodia for the Khmer Rouge trials, as well as an expert in legal reform in Bosnia, Afghanistan and Kosovo, she will, we believe, set a good example for other women aspiring to make a difference in conflict and post-conflict areas.
