NATO and UNSC Resolution 1325

  • Mario Masdea

Summary

The article argues that while progress has been made in terms of female participation in the armed forces of NATO countires, women still lack opportunities for senior leadership positions and there are significant discrepancies in the treatement of women between member nations. NATO should, therefore, push for a standardization of personnel evaluation systems, laws, and regulations which openly endorse equal rights and opportunities for women, and a revaluation of traditions which may hinder women’s career advancement. The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 offers an excellent opportunity to revisit these matters and further involve women in the process.
