In 2000, the UN Security Council adopted the ground-breaking
Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (WPS) placing women at
the centre of the agenda, thanks to years of campaigning. The
Resolution recognises the differential impact of armed conflict on
women and men, draws attention to the 'inextricable links between
gender equality and international peace and security' and stresses
the 'important role of women in the prevention and resolution of
conflicts and in peace-building'. But what exactly is the WPS
agenda and what is its content? What are its implications for peace
and for security? And what does it mean for international lawyers?
Through the narratives of women's activism and of international law
this book seeks to make the WPS agenda better known to
international lawyers and to ask whether it is, or could become, an
international legal regime that conforms and responds to the
realities of women's lives.
