CSO position paper
10 Points on 10 Years Security Council Resolution 1325 in Europe
The following paper outlines civil society’s views on the current state of implementation of SCR 1325 and related women, peace and security commitments in Europe and includes 10 suggestions for further progress. Europe is a frontrunner when it comes to efforts to implement SCR 1325 et al. That said there is a gap between European policy and practice. The 10th anniversary of SCR 1325 should mark the start of a reinvigorated agenda for the implementation of 1325. In the attached document there are 10 suggestions to further implementation of WPS commitments in Europe.
The paper has benefited from worldwide consultation. Over 60 organisations and networks explicitly align themselves with its recommendations.
