“"The Security Council recognizes that despite its enormous potential, which could make it one of the poles of development of the continent, Central Africa has yet to achieve the stability that would enable it to utilize its resources to the maximum benefit of its population in an equitable manner. "The Security Council notes that five of the twelve peacekeeping and peace-building missions under way on the continent are established in Central Africa. The Security Council also notes that of the sixteen Special Representatives and Special Envoys of the Secretary-General in Africa, six are in Central Africa. In this regard, it notes the work being done by the ad hoc Working Group on Conflict Prevention and Resolution in Africa to improve the effectiveness of the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary- General in Africa.”

“That meeting was also an opportunity for us to engage in a profound process of thinking along with civil society about ways of enhancing the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). The role played by women in conflict prevention, in encouraging reconciliation and helping to rebuild what, alas, is destroyed by conflicts has been very clearly described. The Arria-formula meeting, skillfully chaired by Minister Lee, produced a number of recommendations relating, among other things, to the incorporation of gender specific measures in the mandates of peacekeeping missions, and the real participation of women in peace negotiations. All of these measures converged to a great extent with those presented in the report of the Secretary-General which my delegation supports unreservedly.”

“It proposes, among other things, that consciousness-raising campaigns be organized to combat impunity; that the networks of Central African women be reactivated in order to engage in activities to promote peace in the countries of the sub-region; that a study be carried out on traditional conflict management practices; that the weapons-for-development programme be implemented; that a dialogue be organized with men in uniform and militia personnel; and that peaceful demonstrations be organized in favour of peace and security. Before I conclude, I wish to commend the Arria- formula meeting of 23 October 2002 on the question of women, peace and security, which made it possible to hear some particularly moving testimony concerning the situation actually experienced in the field by some of the participants.”

“On the initiative of UNIFEM, and in conjunction with the United Nations Standing Advisory Committee on Security Questions in Central Africa, a regional consultation on the topic "Parity and Development: participation of women in Central Africa" was held in Douala from 22 to 30 May 2002. It provided an opportunity for regional actors, women and civil society in particular, to make forceful suggestion about ways and means of promoting implementation of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000). The work done at Douala resulted in the adoption of a regional plan of action for which follow-up will be provided by a group comprised of representatives of Governments and civil society.”

“Cameroon has acceded to the four 1949 Geneva Conventions, which deal with the protection of victims of war and of women and girls in situations of armed conflict, and to most instruments relating to human rights. It is also a signatory of the statute that created the International Criminal Court and is preparing to ratify it. We are therefore genuinely pleased to welcome the report of the Secretary-General in document S/2002/ 1154. The recommendations therein take stock of the strategies to be implemented to promote partnership between women and men in order to enhance the effectiveness of the multidimensional peacekeeping operations. Cameroon and the Central African region have played an active part in the preparation of the proposals in this report.”

“The goal of that resolution was, and remains, to ensure that women and girls in conflict situations are protected and that those committing acts of violence against them in conflict situations are prosecuted, and that women may, on equal footing, occupy their proper place when it comes to taking decisions on questions of peace and security. The Government of Cameroon fully endorses this important objective, which is fully in line with the efforts it has made on the national level to provide protection for women and girls in situations of armed conflict. I note here that this dynamic programme for the advancement of women in a broad range of activities associated with peace and security is backed by a collection of normative texts.”

“Carolyn Hannan, who is present with us at this discussion. The Beijing Declaration and Plan of Action quite correctly underscored that the consequences of armed conflicts and other conflicts were among the major concerns for women in today's world. The Security Council reaffirmed the role of women in the peace processes at the celebration of International Women's Day on 8 March 2000. It was along these lines that for the first time it devoted its work to the consideration of the question of women, peace and security. In doing so, it clearly highlighted the specific situation of women and girls in the context of the protection of civilians in armed conflicts. On 31 October 2000, the Council unanimously adopted resolution 1325 (2000) on women, peace and security.”
