  1. “We will continue to engage with partners to work towards ensuring the meaningful participation of women and for building inclusive, peaceful and resilient societies.”

  2. “Instead of supporting a policy of mixed units, we believe that all-women units perhaps need to be incentivized to encourage greater participation. Priority should also be given to deploying from the pending pledges related to women peacekeepers. For its part, India stands ready to make every effort to fulfil those goals and strengthen institutional capacities as well as international cooperation on this issue. India partners with UN-Women towards capacity- building initiatives at the New Delhi-based Centre for United Nations Peacekeeping, which conducted the third United Nations female military officers course for 40 women military officers from 26 countries. India also provides adequate predeployment training on gender sensitization to its peacekeeping forces.”

  3. “We fully welcome the initiatives by the United Nations Secretariat in driving the formulation of policy frameworks to increase the number of women peacekeepers. However, we perceive that there is some hesitation to put strong commitments into the policy framework. In order to achieve the increased targets under the uniformed gender parity strategy, we should encourage countries that are willing to contribute full women units. However, we note that to accommodate those who cannot fulfil the all-women unit commitments, the policy frameworks are being diluted in favour of mixed units over all-women units. Ifthat is the approach, how can we possibly achieve the target that we set for increasing women participation in peacekeeping.”

  4. “India is committed to increasing the number of women peacekeepers and to meeting targets in that regard within the specified timelines. The landmark first-ever deployment by the United Nations of an all- female formed police unit in Liberia by India became a role model for the local women to participate in policing and in the relevant rule-of-law frameworks. India is fully prepared to deploy a female engagement team, comprising 22 women officers and soldiers, as part of a rapidly deployable battalion in the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo by August. We will also deploy a women formed police unit in the United Nations Mission in South Sudan by the end of this year.”

  5. “In the Declaration of Shared Commitments on United Nations Peacekeeping Operations under the Action for Peacekeeping initiative, Member States agreed to collectively commit to implement the women and peace and security agenda and its priorities by ensuring the full, equal and meaningful participation of women in all stages of the peace process and by systematically integrating a gender perspective into all stages of analysis, planning, implementation and reporting. They further recommitted to increasing the number of civilian and uniformed women in peacekeeping at all levels and in key positions. In that context, India welcomes the recently launched uniformed gender parity strategy and sees it as a collective commitment towards implementing Action for Peacekeeping.”

  6. “We thank you, Madam President, for convening this open debate on this important issue. We also thank the Secretary-General and the other briefers for their useful remarks. The normative and operative frameworks relating to the women and peace and security agenda have considerably strengthened across the United Nations system over the past two decades. Today, there is greater awareness about the centrality of the meaningful participation of women in United Nations peace and security efforts, including peacekeeping.”
