  1. “One of the Afghan girls who now resides in Korea said in a recent media interview that she was simply happy to be learning taekwondo in Korea with other girls and boys, and she likes the idea of having the freedom to choose the kind of life she wants. When these persons of merit arrived in Korea, many believed that Korea had changed their lives. However, as it turns out, they are bringing changes to the Korean society, with their renewed sense of hope and fierce determination to pursue their dreams. With that in mind, I again thank Kenya for hosting today’s meaningful debate and look forward to the international community creating more opportunities for women and girls around the world, through our common efforts to implement the women and peace and security agenda.”

  2. “In line with the Uniformed Gender Parity Strategy 2018-2028 of the Department of Peace Operations, the Republic of Korea will do its utmost to increase to 25 per cent the number of women participants in United Nations peace operations by 2028. As the host of this year’s United Nations Peacekeeping Ministerial Conference, the Republic of Korea is determined to mainstream the women and peace and security agenda throughout the entire programme of the Ministerial Conference. The Republic of Korea remains firmly committed to ensuring that the voices of women in peace operations are duly recognized, and will continue to contribute to the promotion of the women and peace and security agenda. Back in August, the Republic of Korea brought 391 persons of merit from Afghanistan to Korea. More than half of them are women and girls.”

  3. “During our term as an elected member of the Council back in 2013 and 2014, the Republic of Korea drew up its first national action plan for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) for the period from 2014 to 2017, while underscoring gender mainstreaming across the wide spectrum of Government policies. In addition, we have been actively engaged in Council discussions on encouraging women’s participation in conflict resolution and peacebuilding, including deploying gender advisers in peacekeeping operation missions. It is a source of pride that, for many years, my delegation has made a meaningful contribution to this important discussion. Advancing the role of women in peacekeeping remains significant.”

  4. “Later this year, as a part of an ongoing global campaign — the Action with Women and Peace initiative — the Republic of Korea will host the third international conference on conflict- related sexual violence in Seoul on 25 November. The theme of the conference will be “Strengthening women’s roles and leadership in building and sustaining peace through the survivor-centred approach”. It is our expectation that the conference will provide a platform to allow the voices of women and survivors of conflict- related sexual violence to resonate around the world.”

  5. “For example, as presented in the Secretary-General’s report (S/2021/827), women in Afghanistan have been prevented not only from peace negotiations, but also from participation in public life. In other parts of the world, including in Myanmar and Belarus, women are attacked, tortured or detained for their participation in political protests. Under such circumstances, our endeavours and partnership to ensure the full, equal and meaningful participation of women in peace processes are all the more important. My delegation would like to reaffirm our commitment to participating in global efforts to implement the women and peace and security agenda. In particular, the Republic of Korea has been a strong advocate of the survivor-centred approach in responding to conflict-related sexual violence.”

  6. “I also wish to thank the Secretary-General and the newly appointed UN-Women Executive Director for their informative briefings. My delegation would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate her on her appointment. This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Republic of Korea’s membership in the United Nations. Since our admission to the United Nations back in 1991, the Republic of Korea, along with other Member States, have witnessed a significant normative progress in peace, political and security decision-making processes. That includes the adoption of landmark resolution 1325 (2000) and its subsequent and related resolutions in this Chamber. However, there is much to be done to address the heightened risk of sexual violence and gender inequality around the globe.”

  7. “The Republic of Korea aligns itself with the joint statement made by the representatives of Canada, on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security, and Australia, on behalf of the MIKTA countries, namely, Mexico, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Turkey and Australia. It is of our great pleasure to attend the first in-person Security Council open debate since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease pandemic. My delegation would like to express our sincere appreciation to Kenya and the other Council members for taking note of the interest from the larger United Nations membership to participate in person in today’s open debate and taking impeccable precautions to make possible safe participation in an inclusive debate.”
