1. “We welcome the appointment of Margot Wallstrom to that important position. Together those resolutions form the basis of the United Nations policy framework on women and peace and security, and guide Member States, United Nations entities and civil society. We also welcome the recent creation of UN Women. With its central focus on supporting the attainment of gender equality and the empowerment of women in all aspects and in all situations, this new entity will make a crucial contribution to meeting the needs of women and girls worldwide and will accelerate progress in further advancing the women and peace and security agenda. We welcome the appointment of Michelle Bachelet as head of the new entity, and we look forward to cooperating with UN Women, both here in New York as well as in the field.”

2. “Today, we are commemorating the tenth anniversary of that resolution, which recognized the important role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts, as well as in peacebuilding, and opened a new path in the protection of women's full enjoyment of all human rights in armed conflicts and in the efforts to strengthen the participation and representation of women in peace and security processes. It is evident that this landmark resolution has greatly contributed to an increased political focus on the area of women and peace and security. Over the years, the Council has remained active in this area through the adoption of resolutions 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009) and, most recently, resolution 1894 (2009). With resolution 1888 (2009) the Council established the mandate of a Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict.”

3. “It is an honour for Costa Rica to speak today in its capacity as Chair of the Human Security Network. The Network is a cross- regional group of countries that includes Austria, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Greece, Ireland, Jordan, Mali, Norway, Slovenia, Switzerland and Thailand, as well as South Africa as an observer. On behalf of the members, I would like to express our appreciation to the Republic of Uganda for convening this important ministerial-level open debate on women and peace and security, which is a priority issue for the Network, and thank Executive Director of UN Women, Michelle Bachelet, for her presentation of the Secretary- General's report (S/2010/498), marking the progress we have made and highlighting the challenges we continue to face in implementing Security Council resolution 1325 (2000).”
