A resolution and reality: A decade on the ground

By early 2000, when the United Nations Security Council began to focus on how to protect women during conflict and demand that they be factored into the prevention of war and the building of lasting peace, the world had experienced a decade of ethnic, sometimes genocidal wars that killed many more civilians than combatants. Paradoxically, however, the 1990s had also been a period of unprecedented international progress and commitment to women.
