La résolution 1325 sous le trilogie Paix, Femmes et Sécurité fut votée en octobre 2000 par le Conseil de Sécurité de l'ONU. Bientôt vingt ans se seront écoulés. Revisiter le contenu et la mise en application de ce texte d'importance particulière nous parait opportun et judicieux.
Tout d'abord rappelons que le vote de la résolution 1325 n'était pas le fruit du hasard. Vu le nombre de conflits armés et de guerres civiles des années 1990, notamment en Afrique et dans les pays des Balkans les violences et les crimes sexo-spécifiques représentaient un enjeu et un défi de portée internationale sur le terrain de la protection des Droits Humains. Par ailleurs il y avait le constat que les femmes étaient en général absentes des Tables de négociation de la paix durable.
Ainsi des voix se sont élevées de partout afin que l'ONU engage une certaine action face à ce fléau.BANGWE et DIALOGUE a participé aux différentes rencontres sur le sujet. Elle a contribué autant que faire se peut à la diffusion de son contenu, et à la campagne de sa mise en application en Afrique, dans la sous région des Grands Lacs en particulier.
Le but du présent newsletter est de partager le texte en anglais portant sur la résolution 2493 du Conseil de Sécurité où il revisite et réaffirme les engagements.

Adopted by the Security Council at its 8649th
meeting, on

The
Security Council,
Reaffirming
its commitment to the continuing and full implementation, in a mutually
reinforcing manner, of resolutions 1325 (2000), 1820
(2008), 1888 (2009), 1889
(2009), 1960 (2010), 2106
(2013), 2122 (2013), 2242
(2015), and 2467 (2019) on Women,
Peace and Security, and relevant statements of its Presidents,
Bearing
in mind the Purposes and Principles of the Charter of the United Nations and
the primary responsibility of the Security Council under the Charter for the
maintenance of international peace and security,
Reaffirming
in this regard the importance to achieve sustainable peace and security by
dialogue, mediation, consultations and political negotiations to bridge
differences and to end conflicts,
Recognizing
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 persisting barriers to the full implementation of resolution 1325
(2000) and 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 gender-sensitive 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
that an understanding of the impact of armed conflict on women and girls,
effective institutional arrangements to guarantee their protection and full
participation in the peace process can significantly contribute to the
maintenance and promotion of international peace and security,
Recalling
the commitments of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and
reaffirming the obligations of State Parties to the Convention on the
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the Optional Protocol
thereto, urging states that have not yet done so to consider ratifying or
acceding to them, noting General Recommendation 30 of the Committee on
the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women on Women in Conflict
Prevention, Conflict and Post Conflict Situations,
Reaffirming
the primary role of Member States to implement fully all Security Council
resolutions on Women, Peace and Security, and the important complementary role
of United Nations entities and regional organizations, further recognizing
that States bear the primary responsibility to respect and ensure the human
rights of all persons within their territory and subject to their jurisdiction
as provided for by international law, and reaffirming that parties to armed
conflict bear the primary responsibility to ensure the protection of civilians,
Recognizing
the important role and contribution of civil society, including women’s
organizations, in the full implementation of Security Council resolutions on
Women, Peace and Security,

operational recommendations for the UN and Member States in the lead up to the
