  1. “We will continue to draw on the important and practical exchange of experiences in the focal points network. I am most delighted that we are due to hand over the presidency of that network to Namibia in 2019, especially since it is one ofthe driving forces behind resolution 1325 (2000). Moreover, we will continue to lend political and financial support to the African Women Leaders' Network, as well as with regard to the establishment of national chapters as soon as possible, such as in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We are talking here about resolution 1325 (2000), namely, the decision adopted unanimously by the Security Council in October 2000. It is important to ensure that we strengthen women at all sociopolitical levels - locally, regionally and globally.”

  2. “We will use the annual open debate on that issue during our presidency in April 2019 to strengthen the normative framework of the Security Council with respect to conflict-related sexual violence. We look forward to working with all members of the Security Council, especially with our French friends. This year's Nobel Peace Prize laureates - Nadia Murad from Iraq, who now lives in Germany, and Dr. Denis Mukwege from the Democratic Republic of the Congo - underscore in their work how important the fight against conflict- related sexual violence continues to be. Thirdly, and lastly, Germany intends to achieve tangible progress regarding the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) by 2020 - the twentieth anniversary of the resolution.”

  3. “First, we will place the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) at the heart of our work as a member of the Security Council during the period 2019-2020. We look forward to working closely together with Peru as we take over as Co-Chair of the Informal Expert Group on Women and Peace and Security. We will build on Sweden's excellent preparatory work and raise the profile of the Group's recommendations still further. We will give civil society a voice that is heard in the Security Council, including women human rights defenders. Secondly, we will continue to lend our full support to the important work of the United Nations to prevent and eliminate conflict-related sexual violence.”

  4. “Therefore, it is decisive for us now to continue addressing this topic in view of the crises and conflicts in the world and to build steadily on experiences and successes and drive them forward with vim and vigour. In response to our European partners, it might not be the same procedure as before, but we will do our best. Germany aligns itself with the statements to be delivered by the observer of the European Union and the representative of Canada on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security. We also support the statement to be delivered by the representative of Ghana on behalf of the Group of Friends of the African Women Leaders Network, in which Germany serves as Vice-Chair. Allow me, above and beyond that, to mention three of Germany's priorities with regard to women and peace and security.”

  5. “Randa Siniora Atallah, in her capacity as a civil society representative. We cannot afford to talk about peace and women and security in the twenty-first century without women sitting at the table as equal partners. They must be actors and shapers ofpeace and security policy, and not just recipients of political decisions. We cannot afford to neglect women's potential for promoting security, stability and sustainable peace, as still remains the case today. The adoption of resolution 1325 (2000) was a milestone, and a new generation of our countries' sons and daughters has grown up in the intervening years. A great deal has happened since that time. We may be taking small steps, but we are making progress.”

  6. “Foreign and security policy can and must no longer take place without women in the twenty-first century: neither in national parliaments, nor in the United Nations, nor in its international peace missions. The United Nations, as a central, rules-based, multilateral regulatory framework, was created more than 70 years ago, after two world wars. For us, women are more important than ever before - and not only with a view to our own history, but to a common and peaceful future. That is why I wish, first of all, to offer my sincere thanks to Bolivia, the current holder of the Security Council presidency, for this open debate on resolution 1325 (2000). I would also like to thank the Secretary- General and the Executive Director of UN-Women, Ms. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, for their important statements, as well as Ms.”

  7. “May I begin with a quote: "I would like to state here, and I believe that many agree with me on this issue, that we women do not owe a debt of gratitude in the traditional sense of the expression." Those words were uttered by Marie Juchacz almost 100 years ago, on 19 February 1919, in the German Parliament - during the first German democracy immediately after the introduction of women's suffrage. As the first woman to speak in Germany's Parliament, she boldly continued: "It will not occur to us to deny our femininity because we have entered into the political arena and are joining the fight for the rights of the people. There is no part of the new governmental programme that we women are not interested in." That is precisely the way things are today, 100 years after this speech - also and especially internationally.”
