PEACE AND SECURITY. The Beijing Platform for Action calls for the participa- tion of women in conflict resolution at the decision-ma- king level. It calls for non-violence and the promotion of a culture of peace. During the past decade, the role of Nordic countries in international conflicts has changed from being leaders in peacekeeping operations and peace negotiations to increasingly focusing on military action in international crisis management. WE DEMAND THAT: * The Nordic governments ensure the equal repre- sentation of women at the decision-making level in all peace processes, to prevent war, mediate in * conflicts, monitor peace processes and participate in peace negotiations. The Nordic governments request that the United Nations appoint a Special Representative, responsible for promoting the right of women to be actors and decision-makers in peace and security issues. * The Nordic governments revise, make explicit and strengthen their action plans for Resolution 1325, earmarking financial resources and promoting the participation of the civil society, especially women’s organisations cooperating in the Nordic region, to achieve the goals. * The Nordic governments allocate funds to protect and train women refugees and increase their efforts to strengthen institutions and structures to pro- secute and punish perpetrators of sexual violence during war. Victims receive active support. * The Nordic governments take indigenous people and the environment into account in peace and security issues. The Nordic governments promote peace initiatives, decrease military expenditure, stop selling arms that largely affect women and children, appoint disarmament ambassadors and reinforce their ac- tive efforts to abolish nuclear weapons.
