PEACE AND SECURITY. The Beijing Platform for Action calls for the participa- tion of women in conflict resolution at the decision-ma- king level. It calls for non-violence and the promotion of a culture of peace. During the past decade, the role of Nordic countries in international conflicts has changed from being leaders in peacekeeping operations and peace negotiations to increasingly focusing on military action in international crisis management. The Nordic governments see themselves as power- ful promoters of women’s participation in peace pro- cesses in the context of foreign policy, in accordance with Security Council Resolution 1325 and subse- quent resolutions on women, peace and security.

We need to redefine sustainable peace as the presence of secu- rity, justice and equality rather than as the absence of war.

WE DEMAND THAT: * The Nordic governments ensure the equal repre- sentation of women at the decision-making level in all peace processes, to prevent war, mediate in * conflicts, monitor peace processes and participate in peace negotiations. The Nordic governments request that the United Nations appoint a Special Representative, responsible for ...
