  1. “They are practical documents that provide an opportunity for national stakeholders to identify priorities, determine responsibilities, allocate resources and initiate strategic actions within a defined time frame to implement policies and programmes that respond to the needs and priorities of countries currently affected by conflict or in post-conflict situations. Guatemala reaffirms the importance of national ownership and leadership in peacebuilding and peacekeeping and stresses the importance of the inclusion of all segments of society in order to ensure that the needs of all sectors, especially the most vulnerable, are addressed.”

  2. “In addition, Guatemala considers that regional organizations are among the key actors in charge of implementing this important agenda. As stipulated in resolution 2242 (2015) and subsequent resolutions 2467 (2019) and 2493 (2019), while the main role of implementing this global agenda falls on States, regional organizations and United Nations entities play an important complementary role. National action plans are a vital product of resolution 1325 (2000) and should be a valuable tool for States to implement their commitments and for civil society to support them in implementation efforts.”

  3. “Likewise, it is a priority to comply with the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects and to incorporate the participation of women as agents of peace and prevention. Guatemala gives special priority to the participation of women in peacekeeping operations. According to national data from the Ministry of Defence, a total of 300 women have been deployed as military and civilian personnel in various missions. Those women have demonstrated that they can perform adequately under the same difficult conditions as their male counterparts. It is imperative that our countries hire and retain women in peacekeeping, as data shows that they have had a positive impact in those environments.”

  4. “States’ actions to achieve that end must be complemented by binding commitments, such as the implementation of existing disarmament legislation. Armed violence is a scourge that is strengthened by the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons, undermining their protection, their physical and moral integrity, and undoubtedly hinders the creation of an environment that fosters integral and sustainable human development. We believe that the Arms Trade Treaty is an accurate instrument capable of guiding States on an effective regulation of the international arms trade, whose guidelines prevent the diversion of weapons.”

  5. “Ms. Estrada Girón (Guatemala) (spoke in Spanish): I thank His Excellency Mr. Michael Moussa Adamo, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Gabonese Republic, for convening this open debate. I also thank the panellists for their valuable insights. The historic resolution 1325 (2000) and its subsequent resolutions reaffirm the important role of women in conflict prevention and resolution, negotiations, peacebuilding and peacekeeping, as well as humanitarian response and post-conflict reconstruction. In that regard, it is the responsibility of States and of the United Nations to ensure effective compliance with the provisions of the global women and peace and security agenda. There is no doubt that strengthening the resilience of women in regions plagued by armed groups is a fundamental issue and should prevail on the agenda of the Council.”

  6. “Likewise, States must continue to apply in a transparent manner the commitments emanating from the Beijing Platform for Action, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the various conventions on gender equality of the International Labour Organization. On this 8 March, International Women’s Day, Guatemala expresses its wish to continue investing in the economic empowerment of women, as that contributes directly to gender equality, the eradication of poverty, inclusive economic growth, sustainable development and, therefore, to the peace and stability of our societies.”

  7. “In short, to advance the women and peace and security agenda, what is needed is a comprehensive vision of not only the problems but also the opportunities. The inclusion and economic participation of women is crucial for the development of countries and therefore also for global peace and stability. The benefits of investing in the economic inclusion of women must be optimized with public policies that provide them with options for child care and that improve access to education and public services such as water, electricity and transportation, among others, so that they can free themselves from those tasks and dedicate themselves to economic activities, whose benefits are far-reaching.”

  8. “Almost 22 years after the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), States still have a long way to go to comply with the provisions of this and subsequent resolutions on the global agenda of women and peace and security. On the one hand, the consequences of the coronavirus disease pandemic are creating additional burdens for women and girls in post-conflict situations. Internally displaced, migrant and refugee women are the most affected. In addition, conflicts around the world continue to undermine the scarce efforts that have been made to ensure that women have significant spaces in our societies. The unprovoked, unjustified and disproportionate conflict that Ukraine is experiencing on the part of the Russian Federation is a clear example. The civilian population is being affected, and their rights are being violated.”

  9. “When a conflict ends, women remain at higher risk of sexual violence, exploitation and human trafficking, especially if they have been forced to migrate owing to the conflict, which for the vast majority means dealing with lack of access to adequate accommodation, education and health-care facilities. Therefore, adopting a gender perspective that incorporates the specific needs of women and girls at all stages of post-conflict reconstruction efforts is critical to reweaving the social fabric of fractured societies. Socioeconomic development and poverty reduction go hand in hand with higher levels of participation and empowerment of women. We therefore agree that alliances are a key element of efforts to maintain international peace and security.”

  10. “As the concept note (S/2022/175) clearly indicates, compared with the other three pillars of the agenda, the fourth pillar has received less attention from the international community. The fragility and instability that often characterize post-conflict environments negatively affect the poorest and most vulnerable groups in society, including women and girls. As a result of the unrest and upheaval caused by the conflict, women are frequently affected by displacement, limited access to public services, livelihood insecurity and domestic violence. As those inequalities increase, social relationships become strained and community support mechanisms are weakened. They suffer disproportionately in post- conflict situations, making them more vulnerable to violence and exploitation.”

  11. “Ms. Estrada Girón (Guatemala) (spoke in Spanish): My delegation thanks Her Excellency Mariam Almheiri, Minister of Climate Change and Environment of the United Arab Emirates, as well as Ambassador Lana Nusseibeh, Permanent Representative, and the team of the United Arab Emirates Mission for having convened this open debate. Likewise, we extend our appreciation to the speakers. Mitigation and recovery constitute the fourth pillar of the women and peace and security agenda and relate to post-conflict peacebuilding. That pillar focuses on incorporating the active participation of women into post-conflict resettlement, reintegration and governance. It also calls for the specific needs of women and girls in post-conflict situations to be addressed and for their active participation in mitigation and recovery efforts to be supported.”
