It is a document which asks warring parties around the world to respect the rights of women and to support their participation in peace-keeping missions and post-conflict reconstruction.
In 2010, the BiH Council of Ministers adopted an action plan for the implementation of the Resolution, which has the primary objective of greater participation of women in decision – making positions in the military and police forces and peace – keeping missions, and improving the position of women with the status of civilian victims of war.
Also, at the invitation of Ana Blatnik, President of the Federal Council of the Republic of Austria, MP Ismeta Dervoz took part in the conference “Remembrance, Reconciliation, design of the future of Southeastern Europe in the new Europe”, held in Klagenfurt.
