I welcome the focus on women and girls as the theme of this year’s World Telecommunication and Information Society Day. Information and communications technologies are already benefiting women and girls in numerous ways. E-commerce is expanding opportunities for entrepreneurship. Mobile telephones are enabling midwives to make childbirth safer. Electronic social networks are allowing women around the world to mobilize as never before for democracy, dignity and human rights.

United Nations peacekeeping is based on the principle that an impartial presence on the ground can ease tensions between hostile parties and create the necessary space for political negotiation. Peacekeeping can help bridge the gap between the cessation of hostilities and a durable peace, but only if the parties to a conflict have the political will needed to reach the goal. Initially developed as a means of dealing with inter-state conflict, peacekeeping has increasingly been used in intra-state conflicts and civil wars, which are often characterized by multiple armed factions with differing political objectives and fractured lines of command.

The desire to further entrench the women, peace and security agendas on the national/state level reflects a strengthened environment of openness and accountability that increasingly prevails in all regions of the world. These principles are important, not only for the well-being of women and communities but also form an essential component of economic and social progress. In this regard, the full national implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325) and related women, peace and security resolutions serve to strengthen stability, social harmony and cohesion and promote governmental accountability.
