At the 6302nd meeting of the Security Council, held on 27 April 2010, in connection with the Council’s consideration of the item entitled “Women and peace and security”, the President of the Security Council made the following statement on behalf of the Council:

“The Security Council welcomes the appointment of Margot Wallstrom as Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict and reiterates its support of her mandate as outlined in resolution 1888 (2009).

“The Security Council welcomes the timely submission of the report of the Secretary-General (S/2010/173) requested in resolution 1889 (2009) and takes note both of the indicators and the recommendations contained in the report.

“The Security Council notes that indicators contained in the report would need technical and conceptual development before they could become operational.

“The Security Council requests the Secretary-General to continue to consult with the Security Council, taking into account views expressed by other relevant stakeholders, including broader UN membership, taking into account the need to further develop indicators contained in his report (S/2010/173) and the parallel ongoing work regarding resolution 1888 (2009), in order to include a comprehensive set of indicators in his next report on the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) to be submitted to the Security Council in October 2010, as well as a programme of work containing roles and responsibilities vis-à-vis the indicators within the UN system and a timeframe to render the indicators operational.

“The Security Council requests the Secretary-General to continue to ensure that all country reports to the Security Council provide information on the impact of situations of armed conflict on women and girls, their particular needs in post-conflict situations and obstacles to attaining those needs.

“The Security Council expresses its intention to take action on a comprehensive set of indicators on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of its resolution 1325 (2000) in October 2010, for use at the global level to track implementation of resolution 1325 (2000).

“The Security Council reiterates its desire to commemorate the 10th anniversary of its resolution 1325 (2000).”
