  1. “Partnership will be a key item on the agenda. We will look to strengthen the interoperability between our NATO forces and those of our partners so we can be more effective in tackling security challenges together. We will also look at how we can help partners and others in need with defence and related security capacity- building so as to help them to project stability in their own regions. And of course, we will pursue that effort in mutual complementarity with other international organizations, including the United Nations. When it comes to managing crises and building security and stability, NATO has unique assets and expertise to bring to bear. As the United Nations continues to assess the respective roles and strengths of its partners, the Alliance will continue to explore ways to deepen our cooperation and reinforce our support.”

  2. “We are encouraged by the growing practical cooperation between the staffs of our organizations, including exchanges of best practices and lessons learned in operations, training and exercises and sharing of expertise. As the United Nations assesses the respective strengths and roles of its partners, NATO's intention would be to continue to support United Nations efforts in peacekeeping by deepening what has been done so far through the provision of enablers such as logistical support, medical support or strategic airlifts, or the sharing of expertise, such as lessons learned and best practices on asymmetrical threat, countering improvised explosive devices, planning, training and aspects of standardization. In just over a month, NATO Heads of State and Government will hold a Summit meeting in Wales.”

  3. “By working more closely not only with the United Nations, but also with the European Union, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and, increasingly, the African Union, we seek to contribute to efforts aimed at preventing crises, managing conflicts and stabilizing post-conflict situations. And we very much feel that this has to be based on a shared sense of responsibility, openness and determination. It is obvious that better preparedness is a powerful resource of conflict management. In the context of NATO-United Nations cooperation, we continually look at ways to make our pragmatic cooperation even more effective.”

  4. “We fully support a further strengthening of United Nations ability to conduct peacekeeping operations, and we fully agree that this requires efforts on several fronts, including closer cooperation with partners, greater sharing of experience and expertise, and better training and education. Partnerships have been essential to NATO. Over the past 25 years, we have built a network of partnerships that now includes more than 40 countries from all over the world. Each has different backgrounds, tools and expertise, but together, we have helped to preserve peace, reinforce stability and promote progress across and well beyond the Euro-Atlantic area. Partnership with other international organizations has been equally critical to our work.”

  5. “We have also provided logistical assistance to the African Union's United Nations-mandated peacekeeping operations in Darfur and in Somalia, and we have escorted merchant ships carrying World Food Programme humanitarian supplies off the coast of Somalia. Some of those operations have been carried out in a relatively benign environment; others in a decidedly hostile one. But all have been characterized by tight political control, strict adherence to the mandate, mission and rules of engagement, and a strong concern for the protection of human life and the avoidance of civilian casualties. Over the years, NATO-United Nations cooperation has extended to include cooperation on issues that are at the very heart of operations, including mine action, children and armed conflict and the role of women in peace and security.”

  6. “Our new strategic concept, which we agreed in 2010, commits the Alliance to helping prevent and manage conflicts and to stabilizing post-conflict situations, including by working more closely with the United Nations. Over the past two decades, NATO has repeatedly demonstrated a clear ability to plan, initiate and conduct multinational operations of varying scale and complexity, including upon short notice, at strategic distance and over an extended period of time. The operations have involved various combinations of skills, assets and capabilities, and they have covered the entire spectrum from peace enforcement to multifaceted security assistance and from maritime embargo to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.”

  7. “The United Nations is to be commended for seeking to strengthen its central role in peacekeeping and to ensure the effective functioning of collective security. But, as the United Nations itself has recognized over the years, enhancing global security and stability is a task that no single organization can manage on its own. It has to be done through a concerted effort based on shared goals and common values, and partnerships are critical in this endeavour. NATO has been a long-standing partner to the United Nations. We are committed to supporting the United Nations and its ideals, a principle that is enshrined in our founding Treaty of 1949.”

  8. “Ms. Lemos-Maniati: At the outset, I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for this opportunity to address the Security Council in this open debate and to make a few comments on this important aspect of peacekeeping operations. Allow me also to welcome the resolution adopted today (resolution 2167 (2014)). This is yet another significant resolution on peacekeeping that highlights the role of effective partnership and cooperation in enabling an early response to emerging crises. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for peacekeeping operations in increasingly challenging circumstances. In that context, the Security Council has asked for more prompt action to preserve peace and protect civilians, with mandates that have become more substantial and complex, all this against the backdrop of serious resource constraints.”

  9. “We have also continued to support women's networks, especially in Afghanistan, which play a key role in the development of governance and social and economic development. We are also actively engaged in training women as part of local forces. As we look ahead, we know that we need to do more. We will continue our efforts to mainstream resolution 1325 (2000) in our operations, to develop education and training in civilian and military frameworks, to share experiences, lessons learned and best practices, and to encourage nations to promote the participation of women in their armed forces. In so doing, we strive to continue our work of making the principles of resolution 1325 (2000) and related resolutions an integral part of the everyday business ofNATO.”

  10. “In the fields of education and training, gender perspective modules have now been included in most of NATO's predeployment training efforts. That is an area where we feel that we can benefit from the experience of other international organizations. We are therefore pleased to contribute to the United Nations Development Programme project aimed at supporting gender mainstreaming in security sector reform in the Western Balkans. We hope that the programme, and similar cooperation that we have already begun with the United Nations, the European Union and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, will continue and will deepen over the course of the coming year.”

  11. “In our efforts to mainstream resolution 1325 (2000) in NATO-led operations and missions, we have also added an initial set of indicators, making further progress more easily measurable. On the ground, our efforts have led to the creation and filling of gender-related positions in our operations, from Afghanistan to the Western Balkans. Since 2009, when the first military gender adviser was deployed to the International Security Assistance Force headquarters in Afghanistan, we have seen a significant increase in the number of gender-related positions in NATO-led operations and missions. Even more important, the gender perspective is increasingly becoming an integral part of all our operational planning.”

  12. “For NATO, that was highlighted at the Lisbon Summit of November 2010, when the Allied heads of State and Government renewed their political commitment to resolution 1325 (2000). At the same time, they endorsed both a comprehensive report on the implementation of Alliance policy and a NATO action plan on mainstreaming resolution 1325 (2000) into NATO-led operations and missions. Both documents have guided our work in 2011, setting out a number of concrete goals, such as improving the gender balance at the senior level in NATO-led operations and missions and encouraging nations to include the gender perspective in their national training initiatives, to be achieved by clearly defined deadlines.”

  13. “Ms. Lemos-Maniati: It is a great pleasure for me to be here today and to represent NATO in this important debate. NATO's approach towards the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) is firmly anchored within the framework of building and maintaining sustainable peace and security. With more than 100,000 men and women currently engaged in operations, from Afghanistan to the Western Balkans, NATO has made clear that the involvement of women in operations is crucial if we want to establish relationships and trust with civil society. The tenth anniversary of resolution 1325 (2000), which was celebrated last year, provided a catalyst for further initiatives and an impetus for continued high- level engagement.”

  14. “We will remain active and engaged, and we look forward to continuing our efforts and cooperation beyond this anniversary.”

  15. “We will continue to support Afghan women's networks, which play a key role in the development of governance and social and economic development, and to help train female police and security officers. Finally, we will also enhance our efforts to mainstream resolution 1325 (2000) in the Alliance's everyday business. NATO must continue to become a modern place of work where decisions can be taken professionally and efficiently. For this to happen, a healthy gender balance is as important. One decade on from the adoption of the Security Council's groundbreaking resolution 1325 (2000), we are confident that we can take the next steps. We will remain committed to taking practical and pragmatic actions with our allies and our partners.”

  16. “We will continue to engage with other international organizations - including the United Nations, the European Union and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) - as well as with the civil society, to share our experiences, lessons learned and best practices. Here, we welcome the establishment of UN Women; we wish all the best to Ms. Bachelet and are looking forward to working with her. We will continue encouraging nations to develop national action plans and to promote the participation of women in their armed forces. In Afghanistan, in particular, we will continue to encourage women to take their rightful place in shaping their country's future.”

  17. “This approach has enabled us to mainstream a gender perspective from NATO's senior political level all the way to the tactical engagement level of NATO troops in operations. A related, important aspect is education and training; it is one of the keys to changing mindsets. Our education institutions are engaged in this process, providing predeployment training for all civilian and military personnel of peacekeeping operations. But looking ahead, NATO intends to do more. We will continue mainstreaming resolution 1325 (2000) in our operations, recognizing that mainstreaming gender perspectives requires a continuous and shared effort until it becomes the norm. We will continue developing education and training in civilian and military frameworks.”

  18. “In September 2009, NATO issued a military directive to all NATO commanders and allied and partner nations for the integration of resolution 1325 (2000) and gender perspectives in NATO military organizations and the planning and execution of operations. It included a strict code of behaviour for all military personnel serving in NATO-led operations. The directive paved the way for the deployment of NATO's first military gender advisers in the headquarters of the International Security Assistance Force in the autumn of last year, complementing the network of national gender advisers already fielded in some of the provincial reconstruction teams in Afghanistan. Gender advisers will also soon be deployed to the Kosovo Force and begin work at the level of our strategic commands.”

  19. “With our partners, we have agreed on a comprehensive list of concrete actions to mainstream gender perspectives into NATO's partnership programmes. Resolution 1325 (2000) has become a fully integrated element of NATO's comprehensive approach to crisis management. The Alliance currently has 150,000 women and men engaged in operations from Afghanistan to the Balkans, but also off the Horn of Africa. In these gender-sensitive environments, we have made it clear that the involvement of women in operations is crucial if we want to establish relationships and trust with civil society. It is important to ensure that women are present, active and take decisions at all strategic, operational and tactical levels.”

  20. “Ms. Lemos-Maniati: On behalf of NATO, it is a special pleasure for me to be here today with the Security Council to mark this important anniversary. Exactly 10 years ago, the Security Council adopted the important resolution 1325 (2000). It the first resolution to address the impact of conflict on women and the contribution that women can make to solidifying peace. It recognizes that the major security, economic and governance challenges of our time cannot be solved without the protection and participation of women at all levels of our society. As such, resolution 1325 (2000) is truly a landmark resolution which we must all live up to. NATO is ready to play its full role by pursuing a pragmatic approach.”
