| Title | Challenges to the Implementation of the UNSCR 1325 |
| Summary | The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security was adopted in October 31, 2000. It was hoped the resolution leads to significant changes in how women and ‘gender’ issues are addressed within peace and security practices. However, since the resolution was adopted, various criticisms have emerged to explain its unsuccessful implementation. These can be summarized as 1) lack of accountability; 2) lack of coordination and cooperation; 3) confusion over ‘gender’ and ‘gender mainstreaming;’ 4) lack of support to staff working on ‘gender;’ and 5) the masculine culture of peacekeeping missions as well as the masculine culture of the host countries. It has not been determined which one of these challenges best explains the inadequate implementation. This paper attempts to fill this gap by claiming it is the masculine culture of peacekeeping missions as well as the masculine culture of the host countries that presents the biggest challenge to using the resolution. Furthermore, the amount of support the staff working on ‘gender’ receives could impact the level of attention ‘gender’ is given both within the mission and in the host country. |
