RESDAL Analysis

Providing an analysis of the progress made and challenges that remain in implementing the Women, Peace and Security framework.

 

Despite the multiplication of references to Security Council Resolution 1325 in UN tools and some best practices, the statements of the 1325 often remain mere worldly allusions, with no practical implementation in the field. The potentialities encompassed in the creation of a comprehensive environment that promotes and implements the participation of women in all fields related to the prevention, protection and resolution of armed conflicts, and recovery and reconstruction from them, are not yet a reality.

 

Which are the main challenges for the implementation of UNSCR 1325 at national and international levels, and which strategies are foreseen to ensure progress in this sphere essential for peace and development? RESDAL proposes some reflections through an analysis based on the evolution of the Secretary-General reports on Women, Peace and Security.
