  1. “Given those facts of human rights violations, it is of the utmost importance that international and regional human rights monitoring mechanisms be allowed in the occupied regions. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate Georgia’s readiness to continue integrating gender perspectives in decision-making, the advancement of women’s rights and their meaningful participation in the peace process in line with the Security Council resolutions.”

  2. “After 15 years of full-scale military aggression against Georgia and illegal occupation of its Abkhazia and Tskhinvali regions, Russia continues to breach the ceasefire agreement of 12 August 2008. The grave human rights situation in the occupied regions continues to cause immense suffering for the conflict- affected people on both sides of the occupation line. Unfortunately, there were several cases of the detention of young Georgian women with fictional and absurd charges. Deliberately targeting female citizens of Georgia is a dangerous trend with a strong gender dimension that aims to pressure, scare and humiliate the most vulnerable part of ethnic Georgian population in the occupied regions that are already victims of constant discrimination.”

  3. “In that regard, Georgia remains committed to maintaining the issues of conflict-affected women, including internally displaced persons, on the agenda of the Geneva International Discussions, which is the only format of negotiations between Georgia and Russia on the security and humanitarian issues stemming from the Russian aggression and occupation of two regions of Georgia. Regrettably, despite the efforts of my Government to empower conflict-affected women, Russia’s ongoing occupation and effective control over Abkhazia and Tskhinvali regions of Georgia, which was legally attested by the landmark decision of the European Court of Human Rights on 21 January 2021, hinders the peace process and prevents my Government from sharing the human rights protection framework with women remaining on the other side of the occupation line.”

  4. “Ensuring the meaningful engagement of women in the peace process is a high priority for the Government of Georgia. We are actively pursuing the policy of promoting the issues related to the needs of conflict- affected women, as envisaged in the most recent, fourth, national action plan for the implementation of the United Nations resolution on women and peace and security. The latest plan, which covers the period of 2022–2024, also envisages integration of a gender perspective into the security sector and decision-making processes, as well as meaningful participation of women in conflict prevention and resolution. In addition, it aims at protecting the rights of conflict-affected women by ensuring their physical, social and economic security.”

  5. “At the outset, we would like to thank the presidency of Brazil for convening today’s open debate, as well as all the briefers for their valuable contributions. Georgia aligns itself with the statement to be delivered by the observer of the European Union. Sustainable peace cannot be achieved without women’s full, equal and meaningful participation at all levels of decision-making. While gender parity in the peace and security dimension globally is yet to be achieved, we welcome women’s increasing participation in areas pertaining to international peace and security. Despite the progress, the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda remains too slow and accelerated efforts are needed, in accordance with landmark resolution 1325 (2000) and subsequent resolutions.”

  6. “In conclusion, I would like to assure the Council once again that in two years, when we mark the twenty- fifth anniversary of the adoption of the groundbreaking resolution 1325 (2000), on women and peace and security, the Government of Georgia will do its utmost to ensure the full integration of gender perspectives into decision-making, as well as to protect the rights of women and promote their meaningful participation in conflict-prevention and peacebuilding, in line with the resolution.”

  7. “We are horrified by sexual and gender-based violence committed by the Russian armed forces in Ukraine. At this juncture, I would like to emphasize that the ongoing military aggression against Ukraine and Russia’s continued occupation and creeping annexation of the Georgian regions of Tskhinvali, South Ossetia and Abkhazia clearly violate the principles of the Charter of the United Nations and undermine the rules-based international order, imperilling regional and global security. Regrettably, despite the efforts of Georgia’s Government to empower conflict-affected women, women and girls living in the Russian-occupied Abkhazia and Tskhinvali regions of Georgia continue to suffer from persistent violations of their fundamental human rights and are unable to benefit from our Government’s human rights protection framework.”

  8. “The stated action plan has been developed in close cooperation with local non-governmental organizations that work in women’s rights and women activists. One of its priorities includes a focus on women’s participation in peace and security processes. Furthermore, within the framework of our commitments under the resolution, we continue to promote conflict-affected women in Georgia as a driving force of public diplomacy. As we gather here to discuss the women and peace and security agenda, Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine continues to rage. Russia’s illegal aggression against Ukraine has thus far resulted in the forcible displacement of more than 10 million Ukrainians, most of whom are women and children, who are particularly vulnerable, including to the risk of human trafficking.”

  9. “We share the concerns raised in the report of the Secretary-General (S/2022/740) on women and peace and security with regard to the numerous barriers, compounded by predominate gender stereotypes, that girls and women have to overcome in the realization of their right to participate in public and political life. In turn, the Government of Georgia prioritizes the issues of the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), the meaningful engagement of women in peace processes and fostering the women and peace and security agenda in the process of peaceful conflict resolution. To that end, on 25 October 2022, the Government of Georgia adopted its national action plan on the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) on women and peace and security for the period from 2022 to 2024.”

  10. “At the outset, I would like to express our appreciation to the presidency of Mozambique for convening today’s debate. My delegation aligns itself with the statement made earlier on behalf of the European Union. In my national capacity, I would like to add the following. The adoption of landmark resolution 1325 (2000) and the subsequent women and peace and security resolutions by the Security Council highlights the importance of women’s full, equal and meaningful participation at all levels of decision-making in order to achieve sustainable peace. Despite the achievements made thus far with women’s increasing participation in areas pertaining to international peace and security, progress in the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda remains slow.”
