  1. “He also underlined that "humankind needs to shift its focus from routine conflict prevention and post-conflict rehabilitation to a new development strategy that would make such conflicts meaningless" (A/70/PVI3, p. 47). He proposed that the United Nations formulate a 2045 global development strategy as a vision for the United Nations' centenary. Another initiative is to reserve 1 per cent of the defence budget of each United Nations Member State, annually, for the Sustainable Development Goals Fund. Kazakhstan believes that it is of vital importance that the Security Council maintains as a high priority the commitment to protect women and girls. My country pledges to be a strong voice on their behalf.”

  2. “The project, in which more than 70 specialists from African States participated - most of them women - focused on oil and gas exploration, public health and agriculture. The women of Africa are ready to be involved and actively implement national, regional and global programmes as part of post-conflict recovery; however, they need opportunity. Kazakhstan supports the international community's implementation of comprehensive measures against violent extremism. At the seventieth session of the General Assembly, the President of Kazakhstan, Mr. Nursultan Nazarbayev, proposed the establishment of a global anti-terrorism network under the auspices of the United Nations, as well as the creation of universal mechanisms to bring perpetrators to justice.”

  3. “While progress has been witnessed in many countries at the grass-roots level, there is a stark deficit in the number of women included in formal regional and international peace negotiations and agreements, policy and decision-making, and in planning service delivery for their countries. These gaps in implementation need to be bridged together with host Governments, Department of Political Affairs missions, peacekeeping operations, international organizations and development agencies. In that regard, in 2015 Kazakhstan and the United Nations Development Programme launched a project to update professional skills to improve productivity, employment and development in support of the delivery of development assistance to countries in Africa through capacity-building training.”

  4. “The international community needs to provide greater support to African countries to involve women in grass-roots organizations working for a culture of peace, organizing political awareness and peace education, promoting community-based reconciliation, and ending all forms of impunity. Training has to be offered to women engaging in social reconstruction and integration activities, such as education, health care and social services. Women have a critical contribution to make in the management and security of camps for refugees and internally displaced persons, especially vulnerable women and girls, and in the demilitarization, demobilization and reintegration processes.”

  5. “Troop- and police-contributing countries should impart special gender-sensitive training and include more women in their national deployments to field agencies, especially in conflict zones. We call for the full implementation of the Secretary-General's zero- tolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse by United Nations personnel. We are confident that those important mechanisms will create the conditions necessary to prevent and peacefully resolve conflicts in Africa. At present, Kazakhstan is contributing by fielding its highly qualified military observers with gender competence to several peacekeeping missions in Africa. We hope to expand this deployment in the future.”

  6. “There is therefore a need to have closer collaboration among the African Union, the United Nations and African subregional organizations, as well as the Special Representatives of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence against Women, and for Children and Armed Conflict, so that the new forms of hybrid peacekeeping operations are comprehensive and have clear mandates for the protection of civilians, especially women and girls. All operations must have well-qualified gender specialists in senior positions and adequately staffed gender teams integrated within the military, police and civilian components of peacekeeping operations. A gender focus must be intrinsic to the human rights, rule of law, transitional justice and security sector reform units in multidimensional operations.”

  7. “The much-welcomed verdict of the International Criminal Court on 22 March sends a clear signal that the widespread and systematic use of sexual and gender-based violence as a weapon of war must be eradicated - hence, the need for enhancing gender equality and empowerment by implementing resolution 1325 (2000) and subsequent resolutions. Capacity- building is also necessary to achieve peace and security and a broad range of the Sustainable Development Goals in Africa. The conflicts in Africa engulf neighbouring regions as well, with grave consequences.”

  8. “We thank the presidency of Angola for focusing attention on the role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflict in Africa. My delegation would also like to support and commend the African Union's laudable initiatives, including the initiative to silence all guns in Africa by 2020 and the African Peace and Security Architecture aimed at strengthening capacities for peacebuilding, conflict prevention and response, post-conflict rehabilitation and development, with a focus on women and girls. The recently concluded twenty-sixth African Union Summit, at which 2016 was designated the African Year of Human Rights, with its particular focus on the rights of women, called for special attention to be paid to the atrocities inflicted on women in times of peace and conflict.”
