Published: Monday, September 01, 2014

The National Women's Council of Ireland was integrally involved in the drafting process of the first Irish National Action Plan on United Nations resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. In response to a consultation paper circulated by the Conflict Resolution Unit of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the NWCI has made the following submission. Recommendations have been made by the NWCI under the following headings: - How can Ireland help empower women affected by conflict? - How can the second National Action Plan reflect the commitments in Ireland’s Policy for International Development, One World, One Future, and other relevant government policies and strategies? - How should the National Action Plan approach actions relating to Ireland-Northern Ireland? - How can the existing monitoring mechanisms of the first National Action Plan be improved? - How should Ireland promote Women, Peace and Security in multilateral organisations?
