1. “We are convinced of the need to consider and implement the women and peace and security agenda in a broader context. All the rights of women and girls must be strengthened. From that perspective, the results of the review of the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action on the occasion of its twenty-fifth anniversary - Beijing+25 - should also be taken into account.”

2. “Luxembourg is among those States that have recently adopted a national action plan. Our plan follows a comprehensive, government-wide approach. It sets out measures not only in the areas of diplomacy, defence, national security and justice, but also in the areas of health, education and development cooperation, with the aim of ensuring the full empowerment and emancipation of women and girls in the long term. That comprehensive perspective is necessary in order to address the many cross-cutting obstacles faced by women and girls. In this regard, we welcome the fact that the report of the Secretary-General refers to the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, the Arms Trade Treaty and the gender strategy adopted by the Peacebuilding Commission in 2016.”

3. “It is unacceptable that, in 2019, the rights of women and girls are still not sufficiently guaranteed, particularly when it comes to accessing justice, socioeconomic opportunities, adequate health care and protection of sexual and reproductive health and rights. To date, 81 States Members of the United Nations have adopted national action plans on women and peace and security to implement resolution 1325 (2000). Let us build on the positive momentum engendered by the twentieth anniversary of the resolution in 2020 to remove obstacles and aim for more ambitious results. We urge all countries that have not yet done so to establish national action plans to implement resolution 1325 (2000) by next year. Only by joining forces can we achieve the objectives of the women and peace and security agenda.”

4. “Ms. Konieczny (Luxembourg) (spoke in French): I thank the Secretary-General for his very comprehensive annual report (S/2019/800). I also wish to express our gratitude to South Africa for having convened this debate as part of its presidency of the Security Council. Luxembourg fully aligns itself with the statement that will be made by the representative of the European Union. The briefers who have enriched our debate today have described the reality well. It is clear that we must redouble our efforts in order to bridge the remaining gaps in the implementation ofresolution 1325 (2000) and subsequent resolutions. The aim is not only to overcome a series of obstacles to the effective participation of women in peace and security processes, but also to stem the deterioration of human rights worldwide.”
