1. “Civil society and human rights defenders, in particular women, also have a crucial role to play in implementing the women and peace and security agenda. We call on all States to respect their international obligations and commitments to that end. We must all step up our efforts and deliver on our commitments. Switzerland looks forward to contributing to that goal by chairing, together with South Africa, the Women, Peace and Security Focal Points Network in 2021.”

2. “The Security Council must build on those efforts and ensure that its relevant resolutions, including mission mandates, contain provisions requiring women's meaningful participation in peace and security and the establishment of conflict- prevention activities and mechanisms. Thirdly, the full implementation of the women and peace and security agenda requires that the entire international community and United Nations system, across its three pillars, contribute to that effort. We commend and support the Peacebuilding Commission's important convening and advisory role in such work and other issues. Switzerland has for example been active in raising awareness of the role that the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women can play in such implementation.”

3. “We are committed to sharing our lessons learned with other countries. We therefore support Chad in developing its first national action plan. In that regard, Switzerland welcomes the launching by the African Union of its first report on the implementation of the women, peace and security agenda in Africa this month. Secondly, as stated in our national action plan, women have a key role to play in conflict prevention. Earlier this month, three female civil society representatives briefed the Council during its debate on peace and security in Africa (see S/PV.8633) and underlined the positive role that women can play in that regard. Also, Swiss non-governmental organizations have produced a study showing how the women and peace and security agenda can promote prevention, including of violent extremism.”

4. “Mrs. Schneeberger (Switzerland) (spoke in French): The adoption of resolution 1325 (2000) 19 years ago signalled that we cannot achieve sustainable peace without women's full, equal and meaningful participation at all levels of decision-making. Collective efforts have advanced the women and peace and security agenda since then. However, we have heard not only today that the many requirements set out in resolution 1325 (2000) and the subsequent eight resolutions have yet to be fulfilled. Switzerland is strongly committed to fully implementing that normative framework, particularly with regard to the following three priorities. First, as one of the first countries with a national action plan, Switzerland adopted the fourth version last year. The action plan is a key instrument to monitor progress.”
