The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 is a ground-breaking Resolution that
recognises the impact of armed conflict on women and girl's and attests the role of women in
maintaining international peace, imposing international obligations to states to protect the
rights of women and girl's during armed conflict and ensure the full participation of women in
peace and security processes. The Resolution calls out Member States to create National
Actions Plans in order to implement the Resolution, which can be a challenging process with
lack of political will and resources available and not all states recognising the legitimacy of
the Resolution. During armed conflict it is more challenging to implement the Resolution
through National Action Plans with the changing nature of war and constant violations of
international law. Stronger mechanisms are required to monitor the implementation of the
Resolution in order to protect the rights of women and girls.
