  2. One of the programme’s key components is capacity-building for women peace actors in the region. Thirdly, Thailand also played a leading role in developing regional guidelines and procedures to address the needs of victims of trafficking in persons, in support of the implementation of the ASEAN Convention against Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children. In conclusion, translating the women and peace and security agenda into concrete action on the ground requires political will at all levels — national, regional and global — and close coordination between them.

  3. In a follow-up to the statement, Thailand, together with Indonesia and Canada, chaired an ASEAN Regional Forum workshop on women and peace and security in 2021 that provided a platform for discussing ways to advance the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as future trends, including the implications of the coronavirus disease pandemic and other emerging challenges. Secondly, Thailand has also supported the ASEAN Women for Peace Registry, which was established in 2018 as a pool of women experts in peace processes in the region. Thailand’s representatives at the Registry are actively engaged in developing a programme on women in peace processes under the ASEAN Institute for Peace and Reconciliation.

  4. Areas of cooperation include conflict prevention and mediation, women’s peacekeeping and peacebuilding and strengthening women’s leadership and meaningful participation, as well as preventing violent extremism and trafficking in persons, ending conflict-related sexual violence and strengthening legal protection for women human rights defenders. On the basis of those regional policy frameworks, I would like to share some of Thailand’s contributions in advancing the women and peace and security agenda at the regional level. First, during Thailand’s chairmanship of ASEAN, at the ASEAN Regional Forum in 2019 the ASEAN Regional Forum Ministers adopted a joint statement on promoting the women and peace and security agenda, of which Thailand was a sponsor.

  5. It also recognizes their indispensable roles in peacebuilding, conflict prevention and resolution and post-conflict reconstruction and rehabilitation. Like other ASEAN member States, Thailand deploys women peacekeepers to United Nations peace operations, while the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting is working on an initiative to enhance a support mechanism through capacity-building and the sharing of knowledge and experience. The ASEAN- United Nations Plan of Action 2021-2025 also aims to promote the women and peace and security agenda as a multilateral approach to sustaining regional and international peace and security.

  6. As the birthplace of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and one of its founding members, Thailand attaches great importance to the role of ASEAN in particular and regional organizations in general in promoting peace and stability, and by extension to effective and mutually reinforcing regional multilateral partnerships. Recognizing women as agents of change and contributors to a peaceful and prosperous community, ASEAN has placed the women and peace and security agenda high on its agenda. In 2017, ASEAN’s leaders adopted a joint statement on promoting women and peace and security in ASEAN that emphasizes the importance of women’s full, equal and effective participation at all stages of peace processes.

  7. At the outset, Thailand would like to express its appreciation to Albania for convening today’s open debate to advance the women and peace and security agenda. We also want to thank all the briefers. Thailand is fully committed to the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda and welcomes the focus of our discussion today on the role of regional organizations. In this interconnected world, peace and security challenges cannot be overcome through national or even global efforts alone. Cooperation at the regional level is also important.
