Content_paragraphs:  I especially encourage the parties to follow international best practice on the 
  
  participation of women, as highlighted in consecutive Security Council resolutions 
  
  since the adoption of its resolution 1325 (2000). I wish the Cypriot delegations to the 
  
  informal five-plus-one meeting in April had been more inclusive in that regard, and I 
  
  urge the parties to ensure the inclusion of at least 30 per cent women in their future 
  
  delegations and to explore ways to ensure the effective participation of women and 
  
  the inclusion of a gender perspective in a possible resumed negotiation proce ss. In 
  
  that regard, I urge the leaders to request the Technical Committee on Gender Equality 
  
  to undertake, as a matter of priority, the development of an action plan to support the 
  
  full, equal and meaningful participation of women in the peace talks, as also requested 
  
  by the Council in its resolution 2483 (2019) and underlined in subsequent resolutions. 
  
  In developing such an action plan, the Committee should, inter alia, consider how 
  
  best to engage, support and sustain linkages with women’s civil society groups. I also 
  
  urge the leaders to seriously consider the implementation of the recommendations of 
  
  the gender-sensitive socioeconomic impact assessment to address existing barriers to 
  
  the full economic participation of women, not only to benefit women today, but also 
  
  to ensure that a future peace agreement will more equally benefit both men and 
  
  women in Cyprus.
