National Action Plans on the UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 are key strategic, policy – and often also practical – tools for implementing the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda. As such, they present relevant opportunities to advance gender-responsive arms control and disarmament.
UNIDIR and Slovenia’s Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs are co-organizing a regional workshop on integrating arms control and disarmament into National Action Plans on UNSCR 1325. The event will include interactive discussions and simulations of drafting processes. It aims to:
- Offer capacity-building opportunities for WPS practitioners on how to address international security risks, including weapons proliferation and hybrid warfare.
- Enhance knowledge and expertise of the convergences between the WPS Agenda and arms control and disarmament among officials.
- Identify and test practical options to operationalize UNIDIR research on how to integrate arms control and disarmament measures into National Action Plans on UNSCR 1325.
- Strengthen networks, fostering knowledge exchange and cooperation among WPS and arms control practitioners.
When and where
Tuesday, 10 February and Wednesday, 11 February | Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Participants
The regional workshop will bring together representatives from national governments, civil society, academia and international entities working on the WPS agenda, as well as specialized organizations focusing on arms control, mine action and disarmament.
