S/RES/2242 (2015)

                     Taking note of the Report of the Secretary-General on the Future of United
               Nations peace operations: implementation of the recommendations of the High -level
               Independent Panel on Peace Operations (S/2015/682), and the Report of the
               Advisory Group of Experts for the Review of the United Nations Peacebuilding
               Architecture (S/2015/490), and welcoming the recommendations contained therein
               relating to Women, Peace and Security, and further urging all actors to consider
               their implementation,
                     Reaffirming the obligations of States and all parties to armed conflict to
               comply with international humanitarian law and international human rights law, as
               applicable, and the need to end all violations of international humanitarian law and
               all violations and abuses of human rights,
                     Reaffirming that sexual violence, when used or commissioned as a method or
               tactic of war or as a part of a widespread or systematic attack against civilian
               populations, can significantly exacerbate and prolong situations of armed conflict
               and may impede the restoration of international peace and security,
                     Welcoming the emphasis placed on achieving gender equality and the
               empowerment of women and girls in the recent adoption of the 2030 Agenda for
               Sustainable Development, reaffirming that women’s and girls’ empowerment and
               gender equality are critical to conflict prevention and broader efforts to maintain
               international peace and security, noting in this regard the emphasis of the Report of
               the Independent High-level Panel on Peace Operations (S/2015/446), the Report of
               the Advisory Group of Experts for the Review of the United Nations Peacebuilding
               Architecture (S/2015/490), and the Global Study on the need, inter alia, to invest
               more in conflict prevention and women’s empowerment, and further emphasizing
               that persisting barriers to the full implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) will
               only be dismantled through dedicated commitment to women’s participation and
               human rights, and through concerted leadership, consistent informatio n and action,
               and support, to build women’s engagement in all levels of decision -making,
                    Reiterating the important engagement by men and boys as partners in
               promoting women’s participation in the prevention and resolution of armed conflict,
               peacebuilding and post-conflict situations,
                     Noting the changing global context of peace and security, in particular relating
               to rising violent extremism, which can be conducive to terrorism, the increased
               numbers of refugees and internally displaced persons, the impac ts of climate change
               and the global nature of health pandemics, and in this regard reiterating its intention
               to increase attention to women, peace and security as a cross -cutting subject in all
               relevant thematic areas of work on its agenda, including threa ts to international
               peace and security caused by terrorist acts,
                     Recognizing the differential impact on the human rights of women and girls of
               terrorism and violent extremism, including in the context of their health, education,
               and participation in public life, and that they are often directly targeted by terrorist
               groups, and expressing deep concern that acts of sexual and gender-based violence
               are known to be part of the strategic objectives and ideology of certain terrorist
               groups, used as a tactic of terrorism, and an instrument to increase their power
               through supporting financing, recruitment, and the destruction of communities, as
               described in the Secretary-General’s Report on Sexual Violence in Conflict of

2/7                                                                                15-17716

           23 March 2015 (S/2015/203), and further noting the Global Counterterrorism
           Forum’s good practices on Women and Countering Violent Extremism,
                 Recognizing the significance of the fifteen-year anniversary of resolution 1325
           (2000), the progress made as well as the opportunity and need for far greater
           implementation of the women, peace and security agenda, remaining deeply
           concerned by the frequent under-representation of women in many formal processes
           and bodies related to the maintenance of international peace and security, the
           relatively low number of women in senior positions in political, peace and security -
           related national, regional and international institutions, the lack of adequate gendersensitive humanitarian responses and support for women’s leadership roles in these
           settings, insufficient financing for women, peace and security, and the resulting
           detrimental impact on the maintenance of international peace and security,
                Recognizing the important contribution of civil society, including women’s
           organizations, during the last fifteen years in the implementation of resolution 1325,
                Recognizing the new Global Acceleration Instrument on women’s engage ment
           in peace and security and humanitarian affairs, in addition to existing
           complementary mechanisms, as one avenue to attract resources, coordinate
           responses and accelerate implementation,
                 1.    Urges Member States, in light of the High-level Review, to assess

           inclusion in negotiating parties’ delegations to peace talks, calls upon donor
           countries to provide financial and technical assistance to women involved in peace
           processes, including training in mediation, advocacy, and technical areas of
           negotiation, as well as providing support and training to mediators and technical
           teams on the impact of women’s participation and strategies for women’s effective
           inclusion, further encourages the meaningful participation of civil society
           organizations at international and regional peace and security meetings, as
           appropriate, including donor conferences to help ensure gender conside rations are
           integrated in the development, prioritization, coordination, and implementation of
           policies and programmes, and encourages the hosts of such meetings to give due
           consideration to facilitating a cross representation of civil society participants ;

           integrate the women, peace and security agenda into their strategic plans such as

           including implementation of relevant obligations under international humanitarian
           law and international human rights law, through broad consultation, including with
           civil society, in particular women’s organizations, calls upon countries with national
           action plans to provide an update on the progress made in their implementation and
           review during the annual Security Council Open Debates on Women, Peace and
           Security, further welcomes the efforts of regional organizations to implement
           resolution 1325, including through the adoption of regional frameworks, and

               including but not limited to the Department for Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO),
               the Department for Political Affairs (DPA), and the Peacebuilding Support Office
               (PBSO) to redouble their efforts to integrate women’s needs and gender
               perspectives into their work, including in all policy and planning processes and
               assessment missions, and in relation to requests made in resolution 2122 (2013), and
               to address deficits in accountability including through the addition by the Secretary -

               (2000) in its own work in alignment with resolution 2122 (2013), including the need
               to address challenges linked to the provision of specific information and

               to inform and help strengthen the Council’s decisions, and therefore in addition to
