  1. “While it is useful to commit to new obligations, we must first focus our attention on implementing those that we have already committed to.”

  2. “In its national capacity, South Africa will continue to strengthen its existing national mechanism, which focuses on training and building the capacity of women in conflict prevention and mediation, deploying more women to peacekeeping operations and promoting women’s rights. We will also continue to galvanize women to share ideas on peace and security matters. The Gertrude Shope Annual Dialogue Forum — one of South Africa’s flagship events on women and peace and security and a platform for the exchange of ideas — has continued to grow since its inception. South Africa will soon be embarking on the process of reviewing and developing its second national action plan. We hope that our rich discussions today will contribute to our national review process through the sharing of experiences and ideas. In conclusion, let us be absolutely clear.”

  3. “In that regard, South Africa believes that there is room for improvement in fostering closer relations between regional groups and the United Nations. Thirdly, it would be useful to take stock of the implementation of the recommendations emanating from the 2015 global study on the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), whose tenth anniversary will coincide with the twenty-fifth anniversary of resolution itself. Lastly, the full and unconditional implementation of all resolutions and decisions of the Security Council is vital to the realization of the women and peace and security agenda. A similar call was made in resolution 2493 (2019), which was championed by South Africa in 2019.”

  4. “Some efforts have also facilitated access to justice for victims and survivors of conflict-related sexual violence. However, we recognize that more remains to be done to realize the agenda in its entirety. In that regard, let me outline some of the areas that we believe require more attention as we ponder the women and peace and security agenda beyond 2025. First, we believe that the New Agenda for Peace proposed by the Secretary-General provides an opportunity to further the women and peace and security agenda. That is because the changing nature of conflicts and emerging threats to international peace and security may require that we rethink how to advance the agenda. Secondly, we need to strengthen existing partnerships and create new ones.”

  5. “Despite that, we note that significant progress has been made in advancing the women and peace and security agenda since the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), over 22 years ago, and other related Security Council resolutions on women and peace and security. As a result of those resolutions and the global focus on women and peace and security, there have been a variety of efforts and initiatives in the form of gender strategies, gender quotas, justice and accountability measures for crimes against women, international and regional women and peace and security special envoys, global networks and national action plans — all aimed at promoting the women and peace and security agenda. Those pertinent initiatives have led to the increased participation and representation of women in peace processes, peacebuilding and peacekeeping.”

  6. “I would like to commend Mozambique for convening this important meeting on the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda on the eve of International Women’s Day. We meet at a time when the international community is at a crossroads, grappling with a number of global challenges, including persistent armed conflicts and enduring underdevelopment in many parts of the world. Unfortunately, those challenges have a destabilizing effect on women and have the potential to reverse some of the gains made in the advancement of the rights of women and girls in conflict and post-conflict situations.”
