SUMMARY
The Human Security (HS) Unit, is located in the Office of the Secretary General and operates under the responsibility of the Secretary General’s Special Representative for Women, Peace and Security(SGSR WPS) and Head of the Human Security Unit. The SGSR provides guidance and oversight on the implementation of NATO’s WPS and HS Agendas across the Alliance by facilitating coordination and integration of gender perspectives and human considerations into NATO’s policies and activities.
The Women, Peace and Security Agenda was launched on 31 October 2000 with the adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 and now includes nine additional Resolutions (1820, 1888, 1889, 1960, 2106, 2122, 2422, 2467 and 2493).
NATO’s common values of individual liberty, democracy, human rights and obligations under the Charter of the United Nations underpin the principle that the full rights and participation of women are essential to peace and security. NATO recognises the disproportionate impact that conflict has on women and girls, the vital roles women play in conflict prevention and management, and the importance of incorporating gender perspectives in all that the Alliance does. Drawing from the UNSCRs on Women, Peace and Security, the Alliance works to address gender inequality by integrating gender perspectives through the Alliance’s three core tasks of deterrence and defence, crisis prevention and management, and cooperative security.
