Statement by Amb Byrne Nason at Arria Meeting on Inclusion of Women in UN-Led Peace Processes Statement 08 March 2021
Fáilte romhaibh, welcome to this Open Arria Formula meeting on the auspicious date of International Women’s Day.
Ireland is delighted to co-host this meeting with Mexico, our fellow co-chair of the Informal Experts Group on Women, Peace and Security. Along with our ten additional co-sponsors – Estonia, France, Kenya, Niger, Norway, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Tunisia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Viet Nam - I believe we might be setting a new record!
The strong interest in today’s discussion among Council Members is heartening. We stand together in this call to action to ensure the full, equal and meaningful participation of women in UN-led peace processes.
