Women’s Participation in the Peacemaking…

Women’s Participation in the Peacemaking Process (1995, No. 18)

That NFAs should promote the participation of women in the peacemaking process and conflict resolution by:

  1. Monitoring the application of domestic legislation in cases of domestic violence and provocation, in particular any differences in the treatment of men and women by the judicial system and making representation to their governments if necessary.
  2. Encouraging and supporting women to specialise in the professional areas of conflict resolution and the politics of peacemaking;
  3. urging governments to ensure that , especially in countries where hitherto women have been without a political voice because of particular interpretations of religion which have become customary practice, they include women in diplomatic and multilateral missions concerned with peacemaking, conflict resolution, disarmament and in international tribunals and organisations as part of a regular career pattern.
