  1. “In addition, we reiterate our support for conflict-prevention measures to reduce threats to women and girls. We urge Member States to respond to the needs of women and girls guided by the tenets of human security. As the 2003 final report of the Commission on Human Security noted, human security means protecting vital freedoms. It means protecting people from critical and pervasive threats and situations, and building on their strengths and aspirations. It also means creating systems that give people the building blocks of survival, dignity and livelihood. Indeed, resolution 1325 (2000) created obligations that we unanimously accepted nine years ago. We must therefore join hands to fulfil these obligations. My Government stands ready to work with the Council and other Member States in the discharge of these commitments.”

  2. “It will require us to change our mindsets so that women and girls are no longer depicted as mere victims of war. It will also require us to acknowledge and highlight the roles and positive contributions of women and girls to society. In addition, issues of gender justice, accountability and rehabilitation must form part of intervention programmes to assist women and girls. With regard to the protection of women and girls from sexual violence, Nigeria reiterates its firm support for resolutions 1820 (2008) and 1888 (2009) and for a zero-tolerance policy on sexual violence against women and girls. It is in this context that we commend the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur in the Sudan for providing police and military escorts for women and girls to enable them to undertake their tasks.”

  3. “This is borne out by the good example of the Indian Government in deploying an all-female peacekeeping unit in Liberia, an act that has not only encouraged Liberian women's participation in their country's security forces, but has also emboldened women to report cases of abuse. Another commendable example is the programme for the treatment and care of rape victims by the Forum for African Women Educationalists. Commendable as those actions are, more needs to be done to develop national action plans for the implementation of the resolution by Member States. Indeed, the Secretary-General's report indicates that only 16 Member States have developed national action plans. This is an issue that requires our urgent attention. The effective implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) will require an integrated approach.”

  4. “As resolution 1325 (2000) affirms, the needs of women and girls transcend the traditional socio- economic, political and cultural considerations, but also include the need to guarantee their security and access and an enabling environment that ensures their meaningful participation in society. This meeting thus affords us the opportunity to assess the actions we have taken - of the lack of them - in fulfilment of our collective obligations under resolution 1325 (2000). Without a doubt, we need new strategies to accelerate the fulfilment of those obligations. It is heartening that some Member States have demonstrated the effectiveness of mainstreaming gender as a viable strategy for the implementation of the resolution.”

  5. “On behalf of the Nigerian delegation, I would like to commend the Vietnamese presidency of the Security Council for initiating this important meeting on the landmark resolution 1325 (2000), which was adopted unanimously by the Council nine years ago. Nigeria welcomes the depth of the analysis made by the Secretary-General in his report (S/2009/465) and the effort to translate resolution 1325 (2000) into practical reality for women and girls all over the world. We convey our appreciation to the Deputy Secretary General for her statement. We also commend the contributions of Ms. Rachel N. Mayanja, Ms. Ines Alberdi and Ms. Asha Hagi Elmi Amin, and we thank them for their briefings.”
