"I welcomed this document because I believe that women in the army and/or civil organisations involved in peacekeeping operations play an important part as role models, as intercultural mediators, and as empowering incentives for local women and stereotype dispellers for local men. Emphasis needs to be placed on gender from the very outset of planning civilian and security missions. On many occasions, history has shown that warfare is a highly male-dominated activity and that there is therefore reason to expect that the particular skills of women in terms of dialogue and non-violence might contribute in a very positive way to peaceful conflict prevention and management. Commission, EEAS and Parliament delegations must find ways to promote the signing, ratification and implementation of the 1998 Rome Statute (for the International Criminal Court) by those developing countries that have not already done so, as a necessary step towards protecting women’s rights during times of war and ending perpetrators’ impunity."@en1
