  1. “We will also identify Canadian specialists with expertise in issues related to women and peace and security who may be called on to support future peace operations, including peace processes. Much has been achieved in the 10 years since resolution 1325 (2000) was adopted. However, much remains to be done. Through our commitment to acting and to being accountable for our actions, we can move forward together to ensure that all members of the international community - women and men, girls and boys - participate equally and benefit from our work.”

  2. “The implementation of the plan will enhance the effectiveness and accountability of Canadian and United Nations peace operations, and will help build peace that respects the fundamental equality of men and women. I would like to share some activities that we will carry out in implementing Canada's action plan. We will ensure that our non-governmental partners delivering Canadian humanitarian assistance have codes of conduct concerning sexual exploitation and abuse. We will develop training modules that address prevention and protection issues on the women, peace and security agenda for Government of Canada personnel deployed to peace operations, fragile States or conflict-affected situations.”

  3. “This multilateral standby facility gives United Nations entities and Member States access to a roster of rapidly deployable criminal justice professionals, who conduct human rights and international criminal justice investigations, and undertake special political and fact-finding commissions and commissions of inquiry, as well as security sector reform assessments. Today's open debate is an opportunity to focus on what remains to be done to implement the women and peace and security agenda. In that spirit, Canada's action plan for the implementation of Security Council resolutions on women, peace and security was launched on 5 October. Canada's action plan includes comprehensive and consistent whole-of-Government action supported by clear national objectives and performance indicators.”

  4. “Canada calls on the United Nations system to ensure that her Office is adequately resourced and capable of timely action. More broadly, we strongly support the Secretary- General's recognition of the need to take effective measures to address sexual violence in conflict. In this regard, we welcome the jurisprudence of the international courts and tribunals, recognizing that rape and sexual violence can be war crimes and crimes against humanity. Individuals responsible for those crimes must be brought to justice. This includes those responsible by virtue of command responsibility. Canada continues to call on States to investigate and prosecute those crimes and to cooperate with international prosecutions where necessary. To assist in bringing perpetrators to justice, Canada supports the Justice Rapid Response Initiative.”

  5. “Canada reiterates the concerns raised in the review of the United Nations peacebuilding architecture. We encourage the United Nations and Member States to ensure that the voices and concerns of women are integrated across the work of the Peacebuilding Commission, through the country- specific configurations and at the field level. Canada supports the efforts of Ms. Margot Wallstrom, Special Representative of the Secretary- General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, to provide strategic leadership and strengthen United Nations coordination mechanisms in order to address sexual violence in armed conflict. The recent systematic acts of sexual violence perpetrated in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo demonstrate the necessity of Ms. Wallstrom's work.”

  6. “Canada is pleased to support the work of the United Nations Development Fund for Women and the Department of Political Affairs as they work together to ensure that peace processes benefit from the direct participation of women at all levels, that mediators exhibit better understanding of gender-specific implications of various aspects of peace agreements and that agreements provide remedy for the experiences of women and girls in conflict and enable them to participate fully in post-conflict recovery. As we said in the open debate on 13 October (see S/PV.6396), Canada is pleased with the Secretary- General's concrete efforts to redress the disparity in women's participation in peacebuilding efforts, and we support the Secretary-General's seven-point action plan.”

  7. “Such information would be very helpful in our efforts to protect civilian populations in armed conflict. For example, that information should assist in the development of clearer mandates for United Nations peace operations, which would thereby assist peacekeepers on the ground in implementing targeted protection strategies. The data would also assist in the development of targeted predeployment and in-mission training for peacekeepers. Canada notes that the Secretary-General's report points to an ongoing need to enhance the meaningful participation of women in peace processes.”

  8. “Michelle Bachelet on her appointment as head of UN Women and strongly support the role of UN Women to provide support and leadership on women, peace and security within the United Nations system. Speaking in my capacity as representative of Canada, I can assure the Council that Canada strongly supports the Secretary-General's recommendation for the establishment of an agreed set of goals, targets and indicators to guide implementation of the resolution over the next decade. In addition to calling for the endorsement of the global set of indicators, Canada calls on the Security Council to ensure that those indicators are piloted in the field as soon as possible. Canada looks forward to the Security Council reviewing the data collected by the indicators in the future.”

  9. “The event demonstrated the international community's intention to take concrete, time-bound and measurable actions on women and peace and security. We hope to see that come to fruition today. The Group of Friends welcomes the recommendations set out in the Secretary-General's report on women and peace and security (S/2010/498), including the global set of indicators on resolution 1325 (2000). The Friends call on the Security Council to endorse those indicators and put them into use. We urge the Council to establish a framework of accountability to ensure that it systematically addresses gaps and challenges and accelerates progress in implementing resolution 1325 (2000). And we call on the Security Council to ensure leadership on women and peace and security within the Council. The Friends congratulate Ms.”

  10. “On behalf of the Government of Canada, I wish to thank the Ugandan presidency for convening this open debate on women and peace and security, in time to mark the tenth anniversary of the landmark resolution 1325 (2000). Let me first say a few words on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security, an informal network of over 40 interested Member States, chaired by Canada. The Group of Friends has played an active role in the effective implementation of the Security Council resolutions on women, peace and security. On 25 September, Canada, as Chair of the Friends, co-hosted a ministerial event with the Secretary-General, ministers from Austria, Bangladesh, Chile, Liberia, Namibia, Sierra Leone and the United Kingdom, and the Civil Society Advisory Group.”
