Peacekeeping

ASEAN recognizes the constructive role and valuable contributions of female peacekeepers, and we therefore support the call for an increase in their number. Several ASEAN members have already provided, and will continue to provide, well- trained female peacekeepers in response to that call. We strongly hope that ASEAN’s holistic approach to addressing women-related issues will be complementary to global endeavours to implement resolution 1325 (2000) and subsequent resolutions on women and peace and security.
