Lastly, Amb. Chowdry begins by stating that the CSW and 1325 are inextricably linked and emphasises that equality and participation are their core. He also states that while all security council resolutions should reflect 1325, it is also necessary to keep working towards the creation and implementation of national action plans in all member states, developing indicators as well as creating and making availabe mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation. He also emphasised that UN Women must be prioritised and that a lead person for this must be appointed.
