  1. “In fulfilling its critical responsibility to promote and maintain international peace and security, the Security Council must ensure that the women and peace and security agenda receives more than verbal commitments, and that policies and programmes are founded and implemented at all levels so as to foster the incorporation of women into peace processes, and thus bring about deeper, more profound and lasting results for the good of all.”

  2. “The work of the women in those religious institutes also answers the needs and challenges of the horror of human trafficking and the other abuses that women, men, boys and girls endure. Amid very complex and tragic situations, these women of peace and solidarity, inside and outside of situations of conflict, race to assist those who suffer the consequences of wars and underdevelopment and serve as an example to the entire international community of grappling with the root causes of conflict and inequality.”

  3. “In that regard, the Holy See takes note of the decision to make United Nations peacekeeping operations more sensitive to the needs of women and girls, both to ensure the protection ofthose who find themselves in situations of conflict as well as to facilitate the presence of uniformed women within peacekeeping missions. It has been 40 years since Mother Teresa of Calcutta won the Nobel Prize for Peace. She was known for her selfless work and for her tireless commitment to the poorest of the poor, the abandoned, the unborn, the dying and others whom society leaves behind today. Each day, often in very hidden and humble ways, all around the world, thousands of Catholic women religious work to promote the dignity and advancement of women and girls - an important, albeit unsung, element ofbuilding and maintaining peaceful societies.”

  4. “In situations of conflict and tension around the world, however, we must never forget that women are not only victims; women also have an essential and irreplaceable role as protagonists in the promotion of peace and reconciliation at the grass-roots level, especially within the family and local community. Their uniquely feminine sense for the pulse of difficult situations makes them capable of expressing the concerns and aspirations ofthose communities. It also is important that their irreplaceable genius and expertise be harnessed in national, regional and international decision-making. To exclude the full participation of women at every stage and in every aspect of the peace processes would be to fail on the commitments made since resolution 1325 (2000) was adopted.”

  5. “They bear the brunt of the negative effects of conflict. This has a detrimental effect on their health and well-being and that of those in their care. They also find themselves frequently excluded from the conversations and programmes that seek to work out solutions that serve the cause oflasting peace. We know of the impact of armed conflict on women and girls. Sadly, our attention is all too often drawn to the problem of sexual violence used as a weapon of war. This must be, at all times and in all places, firmly condemned. More effective efforts must be made to ensure that such heinous crimes are not committed. Perpetrators must be brought to justice. Widespread impunity for such actions, as is still the case in situations of conflict, must be addressed if such crimes are to decrease.”

  6. “My delegation would like to thank the presidency of the United Kingdom for reconvening this important open debate on women and peace and security. Next year will mark the twentieth anniversary of the landmark resolution 1325 (2000). Progress has been made during the years since its adoption. Women's voices are increasingly heard and, in many places, more space is being given to their unique contributions in the pursuit of peace and reconciliation. However, much remains to be done to increase women's representation in this important area. Pope Francis recently commented on the great differences that still mark the condition of women in the world, which flow mainly from sociocultural factors. In situations of conflict, women, who are seldom the cause or the perpetrators of violence, are often the first to be victimized.”
