<p>The UK has successfully ensured the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative (PSVI)
and UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 is firmly on the North Atlantic Treaty
Organisation (NATO) agenda with broad support from other NATO Allies. Earlier this
year, our efforts helped create detailed NATO guidelines on the prevention of and
response to conflict related sexual and gender based violence. These guidelines will
be integrated into the education, training, operational planning, conduct of operations
and evaluation of NATO led operations, as appropriate. Their overall aim is to reduce
the risk of conflict related sexual violence and improve response measures that take
protection needs into consideration. We support the work of the NATO Special Representative
on Women, Peace and Security in implementing the NATO Policy and Action Plan. We will
continue to take opportunities to promote PSVI and UNSCR 1325 in NATO as and when
they arise.</p><p> </p>
