	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2015 answer text <p>The UK Mission to the UN is in close contact with UN Women, who are supporting the coordination of the Global Study on the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 and related preparations for the High Level Review in October. The Global Study will make an assessment on the implementation of UNSCR 1325 by UN Member States, and make recommendations to improve global implementation. The main findings of the Global Study will also be incorporated into the Secretary General’s annual report on Women, Peace and Security, which we expect to be published around the same time as the Global Study. Officials, working closely with colleagues from the Ministry of Defence and the Department for International Development, are developing a series of UK commitments to improve implementation of UNSCR 1325, which will focus on several key areas where implementation to date has been most lacking, including women’s participation, military/security services, financing, prevention and National Action Plans. These commitments will be announced at the High Level Review in October, subject to Ministers’ views on the proposals.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 29/07/2015 16:19:56 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

	uin	HL1628
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2015 answer text <p>The UK remains committed to ensuring that Syrian women participate fully in any future negotiations to end the Syrian conflict. In 2014 we supported an initiative by the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom to improve the capacity of women’s groups to participate in a political process in Syria, including through learning lessons from similar women’s groups in Bosnia. The initiative also helped to provide a platform for women to advocate for a solution to the conflict in UN fora, including by influencing the UN during the review of Syria’s implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women.</p><p> </p><p>We have raised the importance of the role of women’s groups in political processes with senior UN officials, including UN Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan De Mistura. We understand that Mr De Mistura involved women’s groups in his recent round of consultations on a future political process in Syria. We also ensured that the following language was included in June’s UN Human Rights Council resolution on Syria: “Calls upon the international community to support the leadership and full participation of women in all efforts aimed at finding a political solution to the Syrian Arab Republic, as envisaged by the Security Council in its resolutions 1325 (2000) of 31 October 2000 and 2122 (2013) of 18 October 2013”.</p><p> </p><p>More broadly, our programmes of support to grass roots peace-building initiatives and civil society groups inside Syria seek to ensure that Syrian women’s voices are heard and that they are represented in future political negotiations.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 29/07/2015 16:26:50 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
