  1. “As a country, a NATO partner, a people and individuals, Ukraine is an example of resilience, standing up for values shared by most. Resilience is based on believing in, and feeling and acting on, our enduring values. Resilience brings us together, and it is through resilience that we will push the women and peace and security forward.”

  2. “On the occasion of this twenty-second anniversary, I made a personal pledge to push for further change in favour of this agenda, and I invited NATO allied and partner leadership to do the same. Political commitments do not work in isolation. To mean something, there needs to be accountability and leadership. Each of us here has a responsibility, and it is time to move from principles to practice. Anniversaries are a great opportunity to remind ourselves of what we have done and to look forward. We must remain active to safeguard what was achieved. We must push to protect against continuing and new violations. We need to promote the increased participation of women at all levels — in politics, diplomacy, mediation and peacebuilding. We need to link up with our youth for the future. We need our leaders to lead by example.”

  3. “When we think of human security, we also think of gender perspectives. Those two agendas complement and reinforce each other. When the Alliance first started implementing resolution 1325 (2000), our original focus was limited to operations. Today women and peace and security is integrated across all core tasks. We have come a long way, but there is still a long way to go. As we look towards the future, we are working to integrate gender perspectives into our work on emerging challenges, such as climate change, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and emerging disruptive technology. We are also exploring the synergies between the women and peace and security agenda and the global youth and peace and security agenda within the framework of our mandate.”

  4. “Our founders recognized the importance of rooting peace in our enduring values — freedom, democracy, individual liberty, the rule of law and respect for the obligations under the Charter of the United Nations and human rights. Now, for the first time, our new Strategic Concept, adopted in Madrid in June, explicitly recognizes women and peace and security and gender equality as integral to NATO’s values and what we do. That is an important milestone. Indeed, NATO has long recognized the important role that women play in achieving peace and ensuring our security. Since 2007, our policies and action plans on women and peace and security have continued to reflect an ever-deeper understanding of how applying a gender perspective enhances our work and strengthens our mission.”

  5. “Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has shattered peace in Europe and has shaken the international order. We have witnessed indiscriminate attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure and the use of conflict-related sexual violence as a tactic of war. That is contrary to international law. However, the Ukrainian population, including women, remain resilient in the face of displacement, killings, torture, forced deportations and rape. Those horrific war crimes have an impact on all people — women, men, girls and boys. But we know the extent of the disproportionate impact on women and girls. We at NATO recognize the fundamental importance of advancing the women and peace and security agenda.”

  6. “I would like to thank Gabon for having convened today’s open debate. (spoke in English) Twenty-two years ago, the Security Council made clear its commitment to women and peace and security and set the baseline for the nexus between women and security. While anniversaries are normally a time of celebration, today I address the Council with sadness. I address it at a time when women’s rights are being challenged and when women need to stand up against too often violent pushback, such as in Iran and Afghanistan. We are also in a time of widespread conflict with disastrous effects on people — our people, women, men, girls and boys, young and old — in far too many countries, such as Myanmar, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Palestine and Ukraine.”
