In view of the 20th anniversary of UNSCR 1325 and the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the course will deal with the importance of gender mainstreaming in the work of peacekeeping operations and missions. [...] It should be recalled that the decisions and declarations of the OSCE Ministerial Council meetings on the politico-military theme for 2013 to 2019 task the Forum with addressing the impact of the destabilizing accumulation of and illicit trafficking in small arms and light weapons (SALW) and ammunition on women and children, and also the contribution of women to combating the illegal trade in SALW. [...] For our part, the Russian Federation will continue to contribute in practice to the settlement of the internal Ukrainian conflict on the basis of the Minsk Package of Measures of 12 February 2015 through direct dialogue between the Ukrainian Government and the authorities in Donetsk and Luhansk. [...] Furthermore, we have continuously been drawing the attention of the FSC to Armenia’s blatant violations of its commitments and obligations under the Vienna Document and the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, specifically by illegally deploying its armed forces in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, by taking advantage of the fragmentation of the zone of application of confidence- a. [...] The amount of weapons and ammunition destroyed and captured by the armed forces of Azerbaijan (exhibit 4) in the course of our counter-offensive operation reaffirms the aforementioned grave violations and reveals a high scale of militarization of the occupied territories, which pursued the obvious goal to consolidate the unlawful occupation of these territories.
