Abstract:
|
The post Cold War years have witnessed a steady proliferation of peace agreements to bring violent social conflict to an end. This same period has been marked by the transnational mobilization of women to secure gender-sensitive reform within international law and institutions. With respect to the role of women in postconflict societies, peace agreements have been targeted as important opportunities for advancing the position of women. In 2000 the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security, which mandated the involvement of women in all levels of peace agreement negotiations and the integration of a ‘gender perspective’ throughout the operation of peace missions. This paper sets forth the findings from an ongoing study of all currently available peace agreements signed since 1990, providing an analysis of the place of women and gender in the text of these agreements. The paper will focus on the types of roles envisaged for women in peace agreements provision (women as victims of violence, as internally displaced persons or refugees, women as combatants, political actors, and/or household heads). It will also address the following under-examined questions: How has the prevalence and substance of peace agreement provisions on gender changed since the adoption of UNSC Resolution 1325 on October 31, 2000? And does a positive correlation exist between a UN role in mediating agreements and the inclusion of positive gender rights in those agreements? This large-N study is useful for identifying temporal trends in peace agreement provision and gender, however, it does not facilitate conclusions about the relationship between peace agreement provision and how women fare in the post-conflict environment. The paper will therefore conclude with some observations on the implications of the project for future research on gender and peacebuilding. |
