The Secretary
General gave detailed information on the Alliance’s efforts to
enforce United
Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 in its
operations in his annual report, which was released on Tuesday 15
January. The resolution was adopted in 2000 and recognizes the
disproportionate
effect of armed conflict on women and children. All NATO Allies
and partners
are committed to ensuring that gender considerations are
integrated into
security work.
“Achieving greater
empowerment and more effective protection of women against the specific dangers
they face in armed conflicts is of benefit not only to women, but to us all,” says Secretary General Anders Fogh
Rasmussen.
