The United Nations Security Council has unanimously adopted a resolution requesting “Member States, international and regional organisations to take further measures to improve women's participation during all stages of peace processes, particularly in conflict resolution, post-conflict planning and peacebuilding, including by enhancing their engagement in political and economic decision-making at early stages of recovery processes.” The Council reaffirmed the importance of resolution 1325 (2000) on “women and peace and security,” requesting the Secretary General to provide periodic reports on its implementation.
The Council also condemned sexual violence against women during armed conflict, calling upon all parties to conflicts to stop such violations and set up mechanisms for the prosecution and investigations of these actions. Furthermore, the Council urged Member States and the international community to develop plans and strategies to address women's needs in post-conflict situations. Finally, the Council asked the “Secretary General to report to the Security Council within 12 months on addressing women's participation and inclusion in peacebuilding and planning in the aftermath of conflict”.
