United Nations Peacekeeping (Open)

The 29th IFUW Conference resolves: that IFUW, through its representatives at the United Nations, argue

• that increased training in sensitivity to gender issues and to women’s and children’s rights be given to all U.N. peacekeeping personnel; and,
• that implementation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1325 be strictly enforced, particularly with regard to its directions giving women an enhanced role in peacekeeping contingents.
