  1. “In conclusion, we must continue to question how we perceive the use of force, conflicts, weapons and their relation to the social constructs ofmasculinity and femininity. Only in that way will we be able to continue advancing the women and peace and security agenda and achieve gender equality.”

  2. “As we recently announced at the 29 March United Nations Peacekeeping Ministerial on uniformed capabilities, performance and protection, Mexico will deploy a greater number of women in peace operations. They will be trained in accordance with United Nations standards in fulfilment of Mexico's commitment to ensuring the Organization's efforts to strengthen the meaningful participation of women in such operations. Similarly, earlier this month, the first course on gender and the women and peace and security agenda for female personnel began as part of the predeployment training that the Joint Training Centre for Peacekeeping Operations of Mexico has been providing since 2018.”

  3. “Mexico supports and encourages the full participation ofwomen in all areas ofpublic life. Gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls is one of the guiding principles of the transformative multilateral foreign policy of the new Government of Mexico. In that regard, I am pleased to announce that, since the resumption of its participation in United Nations peace operations in 2015, Mexico has deployed a total of nine women from its armed forces to peace missions in Colombia, Western Sahara and Mali. In addition, we have succeeded in meeting the target of 15 per cent of women participating in peacekeeping missions required of contributing countries in those operations by the United Nations.”

  4. “We therefore commend the efforts of the Secretary-General to implement his gender parity strategy throughout the United Nations system, as well as the Declaration of Shared Commitments on United Nations Peacekeeping Operations, which Mexico endorses, so as to increase the number of civilian and uniformed women at all levels and in key positions in peacekeeping and to integrate the gender perspective into all phases of analysis, planning, implementation and reporting. We hope that the revised strategy to increase the participation of women in peace operations, to be presented by the Secretary-General for the Security Council's consideration pursuant to resolution 2436 (2018), will be able contribute to the full, meaningful and effective participation of women in all aspects of peacekeeping, peacebuilding and sustainable peace.”

  5. “It is nevertheless necessary to make greater efforts to ensure the effective, coherent and cross-cutting implementation of the gender perspective throughout the United Nations system and to address the practical and political marginalization that persists with regard to the meaningful participation of women in all areas and at all levels of decision-making, including the maintenance of international peace and security. The number of women participating in peace operations continues to remain at unacceptably low levels - they account for only 4 per cent of military personnel and 10 per cent of police personnel.”

  6. “It is fitting that the Security Council reaffirm the important role that women play in the prevention and resolution of conflicts and peacebuilding and that it emphasize repeatedly the importance of their equal participation and full involvement in all initiatives for maintaining and promoting peace and security. Almost 20 years after the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), we have strengthened a relevant legal and political framework in the form of the women and peace and security agenda.”

  7. “Ms. Vasquez Munoz (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, Mr. President, I wish to express our gratitude to Germany for having convened this debate and for giving such high priority to the women and peace and security agenda during your presidency. Women and girls make up more than half of the world's population, and their vital contribution to inclusive societies is very important and means that they have a real role to play in conflict prevention and in peacekeeping and peacebuilding. The absence of women in peace processes and negotiations has exacerbated economic, social and gender inequalities, as well as the political and social discrimination that already exist in post-conflict societies. That can no longer be tolerated.”
