Special EU Programmes Body
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment she has made of how the Special EU Programmes Body is meeting its UNSCR 1325 and CEDAW obligations.
- Answer
-
Applying the provisions of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 in respect of Northern Ireland is not appropriate as the situation has never been considered to be an armed conflict as defined in international law.
However, the Government considers some aspects of UNSCR 1325 relevant to Northern Ireland, including continuing to support the increase in the representation of women in Northern Ireland in public and political life in line with Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) obligations.
