女子差別撤廃条約とWPSの相乗効果に関する安保理アリア会合における志野大使ステートメント
令和6年3月12日
(As delivered)
Thank you, Madam Chair.
I thank Switzerland for convening this important meeting on synergies between CEDAW and the Women, Peace and Security framework. I also thank Her Excellency President Viola Amherd, the Executive Director of UN Women, the Chair of the CEDAW Committee and civil society representatives for their remarks.
As we near the 25th anniversary of Security Council Resolution 1325, it is crucial to close the accountability gap of 1325 and all of the subsequent WPS related resolutions in order to boost women’s full, equal and meaningful participation.
As a state party to CEDAW since 1985, Japan places great importance on the implementation of the Convention and appreciates today’s topic of leveraging the synergies between CEDAW and the WPS framework.
I would like to share our good practice in the connection between CEDAW and the WPS agenda. Since the development of the first National Action Plan, Japan has incorporated recommendations contained in the CEDAW General Recommendation No. 30 on women in conflict prevention and conflict and post-conflict situations.
One example is enhancing collaboration between the government and civil society and non-governmental organizations, which has materialized by close consultation with CSOs and the broader public in the development of the National Action Plans.
Furthermore, Japan is committed to implementing the Action Plan in a transparent manner by ensuring periodic external evaluations and feedback from civil society. This practice has continued from the first Action Plan to the current third plan, and the results are accessible to the public on the government website.
Madam Chair,
It is imperative to ensure the implementation of the WPS resolutions, and I believe that CEDAW has great potential to support state parties’ accountability.
In conclusion, Japan will continue to make its utmost efforts to promote accountability of the WPS resolutions together with all stakeholders. I hope today’s discussion will lead to tangible actions and collaboration.
