Denmark’s national action plan for implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security 2008 -2013

On 31 October 2000 the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Security Council Resolution 1325 (SCR 1325) on Women and Peace and Security. The objectives of the resolution are to protect women’s rights during armed conflicts, prevent impunity for gender based crimes, mainstream gender aspects in peacekeeping operations and increase women’s participation in the various phases before, during and after armed conflicts. SCR 1325 puts forward concrete recommendations to the UN member states, entities of the UN System, civil society and other actors involved in international peacekeeping and development cooperation. The resolution is considered to be a milestone in the Security Council’s work with women, peace and security. Yet, the impact of the resolution depends entirely on the political will of the various actors to bring into operation, implement and monitor the recommendations and objectives set out in the resolution.
