Summary

This guide provided by the United Nations serves as a fifteen-item ‘checklist’ for the drafting of any United Nations resolutions, presidential statements, or terms of reference for factfinding missions. It lays out the questions on women’s participation and gender perspectives that should be asked when drafting these documents, including how the documents reference UN Security Council Resolution 1325, how they address concepts of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR), and how the documents commit to promoting and protecting human rights for all.
