  1. “The Security Council must therefore take all reasonable measures to ensure States’ implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) through the development of national action plans and capacity-strengthening measures through international cooperation, because, I would like to reiterate, exclusion increases vulnerability.”

  2. “The Women’s Institute for Alternative Development is of the view that if the Security Council diligently carries out its mandate without selective application, it then becomes easier for the General Assembly to do its work. It is our hope that such collaboration will recognize that developing countries sometimes suffer from treaty fatigue due to onerous reporting obligations and sometimes question if their membership is beneficial. Finally, I would just like to say that women have a fundamental right to, and interest in, participating in decision-making that affects them and the future of their countries. However, if women are not accepted as key stakeholders, including women survivors, then women will not be included in efforts towards resolution, peacemaking or peacebuilding. Exclusion increases vulnerability.”

  3. “In keeping with the spirit, if not the letter, of the Charter of the United Nations, the Women’s Institute for Alternative Development calls for collaboration — if it does not already exist — between the Security Council and the General Assembly in the absence of the decades- old quest for Security Council reform. Collaboration is essential in reducing the scourge that is the proliferation and misuse of illicit small arms and their ammunition and the consequential impact on the economic potential of small island developing States, such as in my region of the Caribbean Community. Such collaboration also relates to the need for capacity strengthening and the transfer of technology to aid developing countries in the implementation of, for example, the provisions of the ATT.”

  4. “Resolution 1325 (2000) and the women and peace and security agenda remain a hallmark for women’s full, equal and effective participation in decision-making, and the General Assembly resolution on women, disarmament, non-proliferation and arms control (General Assembly resolution 77/55) provides relevant, actionable pathways to women’s inclusion. The Council should encourage States to develop national action plans, which serve as a mutually beneficial tool for coordinating, implementing, monitoring and evaluating arms control measures.”

  5. “As the first international arms-control instrument to directly address the link between conventional weapons and gender-based violence, the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) encourages exploring how the implementation of the ATT can prevent such violence, and makes it imperative that the Security Council accelerate its strong support for implementing all of the ATT’s provisions at the national level in legislation, policy and programming, urging dualist States such as those of the Caribbean Community to implement the Treaty as law and put in place administrative measures to prevent diversion, increase international cooperation beyond bilateral commitments, advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and pursue intergenerational equity so as to leave no one behind.”

  6. “The Global Framework for Through-life Conventional Ammunition Management is a global response to managing the central role of ammunition in human suffering, and the Security Council should consider the risk of diverted ammunition being used to perpetrate gender-based violence and acknowledge the differentiated impacts of diverted ammunition on diverse genders by expressing strong support for the Framework and for timely, gender-responsive follow- up action.”

  7. “Addressing the implementation of the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects is a matter of urgency, as too many States have inadequate legislation, or none at all, regulating small arms and light weapons. The politically binding instrument that is the Programme of Action requires systematic and rigorous follow-up on domesticating its provisions and therefore represents an opportunity for the Security Council to encourage States to provide relevant and timely legislation on the protection of all as well as diligent reporting on its implementation.”

  8. “The Security Council must execute its mandate and lead by example in calling on States to recognize, not breach, international human rights law and international humanitarian law regarding the targeting of civilian infrastructure, the destruction of which militates against international peace and security, as well as States’ ability to achieve the aims of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Such misuse of conventional weapons undermines the right of the communities affected to development, since hospitals, schools and power and water systems, which provide essential services to the civilian population, come under attack and consequently increase vulnerability.”

  9. “However, it seems at times that the Council is oblivious to its own resolution 1325 (2000), on women and peace and security. When we as women are seeing fatalities of women and girls who are non-combatants, as well as women’s exclusion from the decision-making processes that determine and affect their lived reality, it therefore raises the question of whether the Security Council is failing to get Member States to implement its own resolutions.”

  10. “The Council’s mandate, enshrined in the Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, is the promotion of international peace, and it is therefore incumbent on it to come up with new decisions and resolutions or to implement existing ones relating to the prevention of violence against non-combatants in conflict zones such as Gaza, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ukraine, the Sudan, Yemen and various other parts of the world where it is evident that women and children feature too heavily in the fatalities, casualties and general human suffering resulting from the use of conventional weapons, including small arms and light weapons and their ammunition. The resolutions of the Security Council have the force of law and are legally binding.”

  11. “Ms. Mutota: Addressing the threat that the misuse of conventional arms poses to peace and security should be a priority of the Security Council, as the effects become more apparent in States engaged in armed conflict or armed violence and in the resulting human suffering.”
