  1. “Sexual and reproductive health and rights are at the core of the women and peace and security protection dimension, and therefore have to be translated into concrete actions on the ground. In conclusion, we would like to once again urge all States that have not yet done so to join us and the more than 80 other Member States in adopting and acting upon their national action plans on women and peace and security. The time to act is now.”

  2. “First, we share the concern about the record-high levels of political violence targeting women with killings and assaults, sexual violence, harassment, abductions and forced disappearances. The physical security of women politicians, civic leaders and human rights defenders is crucial for their full and meaningful participation in political processes, and therefore also for progress of the women and peace and security agenda as a whole. Secondly, the report concludes that, out of nearly 132 million people in need of humanitarian aid and protection, an estimated 35 million women and girls require life-saving sexual and reproductive health services and interventions to prevent gender-based violence and respond to the needs of survivors.”

  3. “On the other hand, we are also keeping in mind the lessons learned from the implementation of the first national action plan. That is why we pledged to include specific targets and indicators in the new impact-driven national action plan to strengthen accountability and monitoring of progress. The accomplishment of the women and peace and security agenda remains one of my country's priorities. Furthermore, we would also like to sincerely thank today's briefers for sharing their insights and the Secretary-General for his latest report on women and peace and security (S/2019/800). Both serve as a timely reminder that, with the twentieth anniversary of resolution 1325 (2000) fast approaching, serious gaps remain in its implementation. The report includes two especially worrisome findings.”

  4. “We align ourselves with the statements delivered by the observer of the European Union and on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security. Let me start by commending South Africa for the apt choice of the full and effective implementation of the women and peace and security agenda as the theme for today's debate. Taking the step from general proclamations to the practical everyday implementation of the women and peace and security agenda abroad as well as in our own countries is crucial to achieving a real-life change. The Czech Republic is currently working on our second national action plan for the years 2021 to 2025. In the process, we are building on accomplishments of the first national action plan. For example, in 2018, 37 per cent of our military personnel deployed in United Nations peacekeeping missions were women.”

  5. “We are also a lead nation ofthe Jordan III Trust Fund, a capacity-building project aimed at supporting servicewomen in the Jordanian armed forces. At the outset of our recent successful campaign for membership in the Human Rights Council, we pledged to continue challenging stereotypes in society and creating equal opportunities for women and men. Let me assure you, Mr. President, that the Czech Republic remains committed to those pledges in all its activities and will support the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda across United Nations initiatives.”

  6. “The right to participate in public affairs is a key human right that enables the enjoyment of a number of other rights. Its effective implementation is also crucial for the achievement by all countries of the Sustainable Development Goals. The Czech Republic therefore selected Goal 16, which includes the target "to ensure responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making at all levels", as the priority theme of our presidency of the Economic and Social Council in 2017 and 2018. My country also backs up its words with practical action. The Czech Republic actively addresses the root causes of inequality by implementing projects aimed at the economic empowerment and equal participation of women. Such projects are being implemented in Georgia, Zambia, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.”

  7. “The plan contains specific measurable tasks and sets out concrete steps. These include increasing the number of women in decision-making positions in politics and in the security forces, achieving work-balance and ending all forms of discrimination against women, girls, men and boys as a violation of human rights. We believe in a participative approach to our national action plan. Therefore, we are cooperating closely with academics on reviewing our current plan to provide for the creation of an even more effective document for the upcoming period. In that context, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage countries that have not yet done so to adopt a national action plan, a uniquely effective tool in implementing the women and peace and security agenda at the national and international levels.”

  8. “Despite all the progress, however, increasing the number of women who participate meaningfully in this area requires human resources, sufficient funds, a recognition of the value that women's involvement brings and the political will to push against stereotypes and negative social norms. We, the Member States, must take the initiative and incorporate the effective, swift and thorough implementation of the women and peace and security agenda into all our endeavours, along with holding the United Nations accountable for including it in all its activities. We are proud to say that the Czech Republic has made some concrete steps towards those goals. We are currently implementing our first national action plan on women and peace and security for the period from 2017 to 2020.”

  9. “The Czech Republic aligns itself with the statement just delivered by the observer of the European Union and that to be delivered by the representative of Canada on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security. It is clear that there is a well-established link between peace and women's political and economic empowerment. The women and peace and security agenda has broadened since its launch nearly 20 years ago, and it is no longer solely concerned with women's physical security. Increasingly, the necessity for women's participation in public and economic affairs has become a frequent topic of discussion at both the national and international level.”

  10. “In June 2015, the Czech Ministry of Defence adopted its own action plan to implement resolution 1325 (2000). By the end of 2016, the Czech Republic will adopt a national action plan on women and peace and security for the years 2017-20. Let me conclude by quoting the Secretary General: "Justice for women takes more than new laws and new funding. Ultimately, we need new mindsets." Having said that, let me express our readiness to promote and support the full implementation of the agenda on women and peace and security domestically as well as abroad.”

  11. “Gender mainstreaming is part and parcel of the cross-cutting principles of the Czech Republic's transition promotion programme. In 2016, projects were launched in Serbia, Zimbabwe and Palestine. We firmly believe that girls and women are not just survivors and victims of war; they are also leaders and peace builders. Conflict through a woman's eyes brings an invaluable perspective, one which has often been ignored in our history. That is one of the reasons why the Czech Republic negotiated a resolution on equal political participation on four occasions in Geneva. Women, however, are still underrepresented in decision-making positions in the Czech Republic. That is why, in July, the Government adopted an action plan for the balanced representation of women and men in decision-making positions for the years 2016-2018.”

  12. “In order to fulfil those priorities, the Czech Republic cooperates with relevant United Nations agencies, particularly the United Nations Population Fund, UN-Women, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the United Nations Programme on HIV/ AIDS. In the field of humanitarian aid, the Czech Republic pays special attention to victims of gender- based violence. The gender perspective also continues to be taken into account a cross-cutting target within projects in countries like Iraq, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, Syria and Ukraine. At Jordan's request, the Czech Republic became the lead nation of a partner cooperation and implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) programme, focused on training female Jordanian soldiers in explosive ordnance disposal.”

  13. “Sixteen years ago, resolution 1325 (2000) reaffirmed the importance of the equal participation and full involvement of women in all efforts to maintain and promote peace and security. We agree with a statement in the global study that in an era when armed extremist groups place the subordination of women at the top of their agenda, our response should be unwavering support for empowering girls and women. The Czech Republic seeks to strengthen the position of women in society through development cooperation and humanitarian aid. That goal is enshrined, inter alia, in our multilateral foreign development cooperation strategy for the period 2013-2017.”
