United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325

Answer

The Government are promoting the accountability of governments in their implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 by: lobbying conflict-affected states to tackle impunity for perpetrators of sexual and gender-based violence; providing financial and technical support for states to develop action plans; and supporting international mechanisms to improve accountability, including the development of UN indicators to measure progress and the International Criminal Court to tackle impunity. Fuller details of the Government's work will be set out in our National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, which will be released later this month. We intend to lay a copy of this plan before the Parliament.
