1. “The success of the implementation of the plan depends on five factors: effective support and accountability on the part of the Security Council; commitment at the highest levels of United Nations entities; full cooperation by Governments, parties to conflicts and women's organizations with United Nations entities; effective inter-agency coordination; and, sufficient resources to do the job. The Peacebuilding Commission approved at the General Assembly summit will have an opportunity to make an effective contribution to the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). I am convinced that the Commission would greatly benefit from women's active participation in its deliberations, systematic gender mainstreaming in its work and dialogue with women's groups and non-governmental organizations.”

2. “The reporting to the Council on gender issues by the Secretary-General has dramatically improved, with 47 per cent of the reports making multiple references to gender concerns, compared with 17.8 per cent in the period 2000-2003. In order to enhance accountability, the report of the Secretary-General proposes, inter alia, the following measures: more systematic oversight and monitoring of progress at the inter-governmental level; enhanced inter-agency coordination through the High Level Committee on Programmes of the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination; holding heads of entities directly accountable for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) in their respective programmes and operations and developing internal accountability procedures; and increased interaction at all levels with civil society.”

3. “The plan is structured on the basis of 12 areas of action identified in the resolution and the three presidential statements. Each United Nations entity identified specific time-bound activities and strategies to be undertaken within its mandate. The responsibility for the implementation of activities lies with each of those entities. The key to the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) is accountability and commitment. An analysis conducted by my Office of resolutions adopted by the Security Council in the period July 2004 to July 2005 revealed that language on women or gender issues was included in only 14 per cent of 63 resolutions.”

4. “The objectives of the action plan, which covers the period from 2005 to 2007, are to formulate concrete strategies, actions and programmes to promote the role of women, support efforts by Member States and civil society and strengthen the commitment and accountability of the United Nations system at the highest levels. Resolution 1325 (2000), along with three subsequent Security Council presidential statements, constituted the conceptual framework of the plan. The Summit Outcome, the report of the High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change (A/59/565) and the Secretary-General's report entitled "In larger freedom" (A/59/2005) provided a broader political background, shifting from a focus on State security to one encompassing human security.”

5. “A lot remains to be done in such critical areas as conflict prevention and early warning, capacity-building for peacemaking and peacebuilding, protecting women and girls, combating gender-based violence and preventing sexual exploitation and abuse, to name a few. As requested by the Council in its presidential statement contained in document S/PRST/2004/40, a system-wide action plan to implement resolution 1325 (2000) has been developed, in cooperation with the Inter-Agency Task Force on Women and Peace and Security. The plan, to which 37 United Nations entities contributed, is before the Council in the report of the Secretary-General contained in document S/2005/636.”

6. “Women at the grass- roots level in countries as diverse as Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burundi, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, the Sudan and Timor-Leste have used the resolution to lobby for their voices to be heard in peacebuilding processes, in post- conflict elections and in the rebuilding of their societies. Since the resolution was adopted, a lot of progress has been made within the United Nations system itself in terms of understanding how to incorporate gender concerns into all aspects of peace and security. Department-specific action plans on gender mainstreaming are being prepared; gender- sensitive guidelines and new tools in a variety of areas have been issued; and staff are being trained. Despite that progress, gaps remain. Women's and girls' bodies have become battle grounds.”

7. “Ms. Mayanja: I am honoured to have the opportunity to speak at this open debate of the Security Council on the subject of women, peace and security. I thank the President for convening this discussion on women's participation in peace processes. This discussion is taking place as we mark the fifth anniversary of the adoption of the Security Council's historic resolution 1325 (2000), and a month after the General Assembly's adoption of the 2005 World Summit Outcome (General Assembly resolution 60/1), which reaffirmed the commitment of world leaders to the full and effective implementation of the resolution. The resolution fundamentally changed the image of women from that of being exclusively victims of war to that of being active participants as peacemakers, peacebuilders and negotiators.”
