An international research working group focusing on UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on 'Women, Peace and Security' was launched at the end of November by the Folke Bernadotte Academy.
The research working group is part of the Academy's efforts to support research on prevention, conflict management and conflict resolution where UNSCR 1325, and the follow-up resolutions, constitute a central part.
