<p>United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2686, co-penned by the UK and
UAE, advances our commitment to the Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB), by addressing
the discrimination faced by a range of minority groups in conflict settings, including
religious groups.</p><p>Furthermore, the Resolution consolidates new internationally
recognised Women, Peace and Security language and encourages States to ensure their
education systems promote gender equality and help to prevent sexual and gender-based
violence. This is in line with the UK's commitment, in our international strategy
on women and girls, to use our UNSC membership to stand up against coordinated attempts
to roll back their rights.</p>
