The Council is expected to hold an open debate to discuss current developments in the peacebuilding agenda, including the recent Secretary-General’s report (A/67/499 – S/2012/746). All Member States, including Council members, should ensure they substantively address the key gender-specific barriers the report identifies, including in conflict resolution process, governance, justice, and economic recovery. Member State commitments, and any Security Council outcome from the debate, should clearly identify concrete steps to remove these barriers and support women’s participation in all aspects of peacebuilding, including through the provision of political and financial support.
