Uganda has been recognized as one of the few African countries making progress in implementing a United Nations Resolution that compels states to respect the rights of women during and after conflict.
The UN Resolution 1325 which was adopted in 2000 was the first formal and legal document from the United Nations Security Council that required parties in a conflict to respect women's rights and to support their participation in peace negotiations as well as in post-conflict reconstruction.
“Some countries are making progress in implementing UN Resolution 1325, and Uganda is one of them,” the President of the Pan-African Parliament, Dr Moussa Idriss Ndele said on Thursday, at the opening of the 2011 Women’s Platform for Action in Africa.
