2,020 | March | 10 | S/2020/195 | Implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) during the period from 1 November 2019 to 18 February 2020 | UNIFIL maintained its high operational tempo and visible presence throughout
the area of operations in line with resolution 2373 (2017) and as reiterated in
resolutions 2433 (2018) and 2485 (2019), conducting 14,457 monthly military
operational activities on average, including 6,774 patrols. Some 4.5 per cent of
UNIFIL operational activities included at least one female peacekeeper. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3856448/files/S_2020_195-EN.pdf | Chase | gender disaggregated | protection | protection |

2,020 | March | 20 | S/2020/223 | Situation in Mali | As outlined in my previous reports, the participation of women in the Malian
peace process has been marginal. The holding of the high-level workshop, which
brought together more than 200 Malian women representing the Government, the
signatory armed movements and civil society, was an important opportunity to discuss
measures to address the current situation. I welcome the recommendations made at
the workshop to enhance participation of women, as well as the agreement of the
signatory parties to include women in the mechanisms for monitoring the Agreement,
which is an important first step. The low number of women candidates registered to
run in the forthcoming legislative elections is a reminder that longer-term measures
are needed to increase the participation of women in public and political life in Mali,
as well as to ensure that women represent 30 per cent of elected officials, as stipulated
in Malian law. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3856443/files/S_2020_223-EN.pdf | Chase | gender specific | gender parity | management & gender parity |

for funding. The projects fund activities related to social cohesion and conflict
prevention, technical support for the Permanent Secretariat of the Cadre politique de
gestion de la crise au centre du Mali, construction of police stations in Mopti Region,
consolidation of judicial power and the organization of the legislative elections. In
addition, the Peacebuilding Fund launched seven new projects, totalling $16 million,
in support of conflict prevention and mediation programmes, the improvement of
access to justice, action against impunity and gender and youth promotion initiatives. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3856443/files/S_2020_223-EN.pdf | Chase | gender related | management | management & gender parity |
2,020 | March | 20 | S/2020/223 | Situation in Mali | In Bamako, with the support of MINUSMA and the United Nations Entity for
Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, the Government held a high-level
workshop on women’s participation in the decision-making bodies of the peace
process and the broader political system on 22 and 23 January. A total of 200 women
leaders, representing all regions of Mali, participated. In the workshop, specific
measures were recommended, including an increase in the number of women in the
mechanisms of the Peace Agreement from 3 to 30 per cent; the creation of an
independent women’s observatory to monitor the progress of the implementation of
the Agreement; and the establishment of a monitoring framework to follow up on the
outcomes of the workshop. The signatory parties expressed their full support for the

113 Islamic religious leaders to discuss the role that the High Islamic Council could

stepped up its outreach and communication activities further, in coordination with the
Malian authorities. The efforts led to an overall improvement in the situation. From
9 to 11 January, the Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development visited
Bandiagara, Bankass and Koro districts. In his interactions with local populations,
including representatives of organizations of women and young people, traditional
leaders and members of militia, the Minister clarified the Mission’s role and
encouraged close collaboration between the populations and MINUSMA.

2,020 | March | 20 | S/2020/223 | Situation in Mali | Instances of violence along community lines persisted, with serious
consequences for human rights, in particular those of women and children.
Community-based armed groups were implicated in 31 abuses in the context of
violence across community lines, all recorded in Mopti Region. Armed elements from
Fulani communities were responsible for 24 cases, which resulted in 80 civilian
deaths, whereas armed groups from the Dogon community perpetrated 7 cases, which
were more targeted and coordinated and accounted for at least 67 civilian deaths. The

two emblematic cases during the period were both attributed to armed groups from
the Dogon community. Between 15 and 16 January, a group of dozos (traditional
hunters) conducted a targeted attack on Sinnda village, killing 14 civilians from the
Fulani and Tamasheq communities. The attack in Ogossogou on 14 February, which
resulted in the killing of at least 37 civilians, was allegedly executed by armed men
from the Dogon community. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3856443/files/S_2020_223-EN.pdf | Chase | gender related | prevention | prevention |

forced marriage of four girls by alleged extremist elements in Timbuktu Region; the
rape of two women, reportedly by Mouvement pour le salut de l’Azawad members in
Ménaka; the gang rape of a girl, imputed to elements of the Coordination des

Gao. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3856443/files/S_2020_223-EN.pdf | Chase | gender related | other | ssr, ddr, hr and others |
2,020 | March | 20 | S/2020/223 | Situation in Mali | Notwithstanding the dire security situation, there have been significant
advances in the peace process and towards the full implementation of the Peace
Agreement, which remains the only viable path to address the crisis in Mali and
stabilize the situation. The conclusion of the inclusive national dialogue resulted in a
more positive dynamic and enabled the parties to refocus their attention on the
implementation of the Peace Agreement. I am encouraged by the redeployment of the
reconstituted unit of the national armed forces to northern Mali, the resumption of the
meetings of the Agreement Monitoring Committee and its agreement to increase the
participation of women in the mechanism and, the visit of Mr. Cissé to Kidal. I am
also encouraged by ongoing preparations for legislative elections and the
consultations among stakeholders to create conditions conducive to the holding of
credible, inclusive and peaceful legislative elections. It will, however, take time for
the achievements to translate into tangible improvements in the situation on the
ground. Addressing the complex challenges facing Mali will require greater effort on
the part of the parties, as well as greater political will, resources and support. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3856443/files/S_2020_223-EN.pdf | Chase | gender related | participation | participation |
2,020 | March | 20 | S/2020/223 | Situation in Mali | On 27 February, the Agreement Monitoring Committee held its thirty-eighth
regular session, in Bamako. Participants welcomed the progress made in the
redeployment of the reconstituted unit and took note of the preparations for the
legislative elections while stressing the importance of continued consultations among
the Malian parties to address outstanding concerns. They decided that each signatory

2,020 | March | 20 | S/2020/223 | Situation in Mali | The performance of seven military units was evaluated by the Force
Commander. Six units performed satisfactorily. Several best practices were identified,
including the installation of cameras and night vision observation equipment for camp
security and the organization of training. In one unit, there were shortcomings in
mandate comprehension and understanding of the zero-tolerance policy regarding
sexual exploitation and abuse, as well as caveats regarding its ability to conduct
patrols outside the camp. Targeted measures are being implemented to address the
shortcomings. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3856443/files/S_2020_223-EN.pdf | Chase | gender related | prevention | prevention |

2,020 | March | 31 | S/2020/255 | United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo | During the reporting period, the Kosovo government commission responsible
for the verification and recognition of the status of survivors of conflict -related sexual
violence received 143 applications, bringing the total number of applications received
since its establishment in 2018 to 1,226. To date, 785 applicants (758 women and
27 men) have been granted survivor status. Challenges persist in terms of assessing
and evaluating applications owing to the sensitivity and complexity of cases. On
12 November, the Ombudsperson Institution of Kosovo launched an investigation
into the assessment and evaluation process upon receiving complaints from two
individuals whose applications for survivor status had been rejected by the
commission. On 6 March, the Special Prosecution Office of Kosovo filed an
indictment against a former member of the Serbian reserve police forces for crimes
allegedly committed against the Kosovo Albanian civilian population in May 1999,
including conflict-related crimes of sexual violence. This is the first indictment filed
by a local prosecution office on conflict-related sexual violence as a war crime since
the end of the EULEX executive mandate in 2018. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3856423/files/S_2020_255-EN.pdf | Chase | gender disaggregated | prevention | prevention |

of non-majority communities who were displaced within and outside Kosovo. The
returnees included 75 women and 77 men (87 Kosovo Serbs, 33 Kosovo Roma,
28 Kosovo Egyptian and 4 Kosovo Ashkali). This brings the total number of displaced
members of non-majority communities who have found durable solutions in Kosovo

sustainable peace. Collective United Nations efforts have centred on the
empowerment of women, young people, civil society and professional media and
support for other positive change-makers throughout Kosovo. Projects focused on
institutional capacity-building and the promotion of multilingualism have reinforced
the Mission’s support for Kosovo institutions in promoting and protecting human
rights. I hope that such work can be expanded to connect with similar initiatives

Statistics. This resulted in the signing in January of a memorandum of understanding
between the two institutions, reflecting their commitment to apply a human rights and
gender-sensitive approach to the collection, analysis and use of data. Mainstreaming
gender and human rights into data collection will improve the monitoring and

2,020 | March | 31 | S/2020/255 | United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo | The certified results announced by the Central Election Commission on
27 November showed that no political entity had won a majority of seats in the
120-seat Assembly. Among the Kosovo Albanian parties, the Movement for Self -
Determination (Vetёvendosje) obtained 26.27 per cent of the votes and 29 seats in the
Assembly, followed by the Democratic League of Kosovo with 24.54 per cent of the
votes and 28 seats. Among the remaining Kosovo Albanian political entities, the
Democratic Party of Kosovo obtained 21.23 per cent of the votes, securing 24 seats.
The pre-election coalition between the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo and the
Social Democratic Party of Kosovo came fourth with 11.51 per cent and 13 seats. The
Serbian List secured all 10 seats guaranteed for the representatives of the Kosovo
Serb community, while the representatives of other non-majority communities
collectively filled the 10 seats guaranteed for them. The share of women deputies in
the legislature surpassed the 30 per cent gender quota by two percentage points,
spearheaded by women candidates from the Movement for Self-Determination, the
Democratic League of Kosovo and the Serbian List, who won Assembly seats
irrespective of the legally mandated ratio. Local and international election observers
assessed the elections as well-administered and transparent. However, the European
Union Election Observation Mission to Kosovo pointed out that the campaign

2,020 | March | 31 | S/2020/255 | United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo | The elections were followed by four months of negotiations between the
Movement for Self-Determination and the Democratic League of Kosovo over the
formation of a coalition government. A key point of contention in the process was the
nomination of the candidate for President of Kosovo in 2021. On 26 December, the
Assembly of Kosovo was constituted with the election of the Movement for Self -
Determination candidate, Glauk Konjufca, as President of the Assembly. Although
the deputies of the Democratic League of Kosovo supported the constitution of the
legislature, the final status of the President of the Assembly was resolved in a
subsequent agreement between the Movement for Self-Determination and the
Democratic League of Kosovo on 2 February. In accordance with the agreement,
Mr. Konjufca resigned his position on 3 February, permitting the election of Albin
Kurti, of the Movement for Self-Determination, as Prime Minister of Kosovo and
Vjosa Osmani, of the Democratic League of Kosovo, as the first woman President of
the Assembly, with a majority of votes. Although the Serbian List abstained from
voting for the government, it voted for Ms. Osmani as President of the Assembly. The
new coalition government consists of two Deputy Prime Ministers, 15 ministers and
35 deputy ministers, with the Movement for Self-Determination and the Democratic

2,020 | March | 31 | S/2020/255 | United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo | The recent elections in Kosovo contributed to a peaceful transition of power,
with a new government formed for the first time by the previous opposition. The
election outcome thus represented a major change in the political landscape in
Kosovo, reflecting a desire among a large part of the Kosovo population for political
change. The new government has set an ambitious reform agenda, in particular in the
areas of rule of law and economic development, which have been long-standing
challenges in Kosovo, and which are priorities for the United Nations worldwide. The
success of such efforts will require political will and commitment by the new
government and external support. Greater representation of women in the leadership
of the Assembly and the executive is encouraging and should inspire their increased
participation in Kosovo in decision-making processes, as well as in the dialogue
between Pristina and Belgrade. The government and the Assembly should engage all
segments of society, in particular those who are left behind and those who are
underrepresented, in the deliberations over the most sensitive issues facing Kosovo. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3856423/files/S_2020_255-EN.pdf | Chase | gender related | participation | participation |

group of 110 persons (74 children, 32 women and 4 men) who had been repatriated
from the Syrian Arab Republic to Kosovo in April 2019 (see S/2019/461, para. 16).
All women pleaded guilty to “organizing and participating in a terrorist group”,
receiving suspended sentences of two to three years of imprisonment and mandatory
psychological counselling. The three men received prison sentences ranging from six
months to 5.5 years. The 74 children continued to live with relatives. The Mission
continued to monitor these cases, as well as broader reintegration processes, in
coordination with the United Nations Kosovo team and international actors. During
the reporting period, the International Organization for Migration supported the
Division of Prevention and Reintegration within the Ministry of Internal Affairs by
drafting guidelines for reintegration and joint assessments of specific cases and

launched a capacity-building project aimed at fostering the participation of young
people from all communities in local decision-making processes by strengthening the
municipal youth councils and implementing youth-sensitive budgeting in
10 ethnically mixed municipalities. Furthermore, in implementing the United Nations
Strategy and Plan of Action on Hate Speech, UNMIK, in collaboration with “United
Youth Task Force,” organized a training programme for a multi -ethnic team of
37 young bloggers and youth activists (20 women and 17 men) on digital media
literacy and means to identify, deconstruct and challenge expressions of intolerance.
During the training programme, which was held from 22 to 24 February, the
participants also met with representatives of the resource centre for missing persons
established by UNMIK and the Kosovo Documentation Centre to discuss the impact
of media on transitional justice and the role of youth in building sustainable peace.
From September to February, as a follow-up to the third United Nations Youth
Assembly in Kosovo, held in 2019, UNMIK and the United Nations Children’s Fun d

Over 630 young people (370 women and 260 men) completed a one-day course on
observational astronomy and discussed astronomy education and development in

limited access to public services, which were identified as the main obstacles to the
empowerment of women among non-majority communities. UNHCR also continued
to support members of the Ashkali, Egyptian and Roma communities in obtaining
civil documentation and resolving civil status issues in order to enable them to have
access to various public services. It provided legal aid to 159 individuals (90 women

women and children. Parts of South Kivu Province have also seen an alarming
resurgence in violence along ethnic lines. Eliminating the threat posed by armed
militias in these contexts will require a comprehensive approach that goes beyond
military intervention and seeks to address the root causes of recurring cycles of
intercommunal violence, including access to land and competition for political power

welcome the steps taken by the Congolese military justice authorities to prosecute
perpetrators of serious crimes committed by members of FARDC and the national

forces. Early and credible investigations by national authorities into these violations
and the payment of reparations to victims of sexual violence are critical to ensure
accountability. I also welcome the progress made in the arrests of those allegedly
involved in the killing of Ms. Catalán and Mr. Sharp in 2017. The progressive
strengthening of civilian justice institutions, in particular their independence and

MONUSCO deployed a temporary base to Lubichako in March, which contributed to
a decline in the activity of armed groups and a significant reduction in reports of rape

2,020 | June | 18 | S/2020/554 | United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo | In the first quarter of 2020, MONUSCO documented and verified 1,973 human
rights violations and abuses across the country. While violations committed by State
agents decreased, those attributed to armed groups and militias increased markedly.
Of greatest concern was the spike in extrajudicial or summary killings, with at least
730 civilians, including 148 women, killed during the first quarter of 2020, of whom
657 were killed by armed groups. At least 254 women and 67 children were victims
of conflict-related sexual violence, including 250 by armed groups, in particular
FDLR, and 71 by State agents, in particular FARDC. The vast majority of these
incidents were documented in North Kivu and South Kivu Provinces. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3866226/files/S_2020_554-EN.pdf | Chase | gender disaggregated | protection | protection |
2,020 | June | 18 | S/2020/554 | United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo | Integrated approaches to the protection of civilians have been key. For example,
joint mobile teams for the protection of civilians composed of military, police and
civilian components visited each field office in order to strengthen and standardize
the implementation of mission-wide protection mechanisms and tools. MONUSCO
also continued to focus on delivering its protection of civilians mandate in a gender-
responsive manner. To this end, the Mission conducted a mapping of high-risk areas

analytical tool for adapting protective measures. In response to the challenges
presented by COVID-19, the Mission adapted its working methods in order to
maintain most of its operational capacity for the protection of civilians, while
implementing mitigation measures such as social distancing when engaging with
local communities.

and local authorities, advocating for increased space for the representation and
participation of women, including in decision-making processes related to
COVID-19. The Mission also enhanced efforts to support community-based conflict
prevention and reconciliation structures led by women, which contributed to ensuring
a gender-inclusive response to protection challenges, including new risk patterns in

training for personnel, risk assessments and deterrent patrols by military police to
enforce existing curfews and out-of-bounds areas. Consistent with relevant
COVID-19 protocols, outreach initiatives to promote the United Nations zero-

armed groups were responsible for around 80 per cent of reported cases of conflict-
related sexual violence. North Kivu represented a hotspot due to clashes between
NDC-R and the APCLS and Nyatura coalition resulting in serious human rights
abuses. Intercommunity violence contributed to an increase of sexual violence in
South Kivu, Maniema and Tanganyika, where Twa majority militias perpetrated gang
rapes of women, often while they were working in their fields. Sexual violence
perpetrated by FARDC also continued to be documented in North Kivu, particularly

significant security threat, having moved to the west of Beni territory and into
southern Ituri, where the presence of State security forces is limited. During the

at least 89 civilians were killed, including 18 women, 1 girl and 14 persons whose
age and gender could not be confirmed. New patterns of attacks, including looting,
abductions and ambushes on patrols of the Forces armées de la République
démocratique du Congo (FARDC) indicated that ADF were regrouping, potentially
with the intention of regaining control of positions lost to FARDC. ADF attacks
resulted in at least 45 FARDC casualties, with MONUSCO evacuating 37 wounded
soldiers. The continued attacks prompted renewed calls for self-defence initiatives,

contributing countries to increase the proportion of female personnel in formed police
units, which currently stands at 12.9 per cent, as well as to increase the proportion of
women in command positions by at least 25 per cent by the end of 2020. Individual
police officers (28.8 per cent of whom are women) were also evaluated to identify

progress was seen in the judicial response to high-profile cases such as the attacks on
Ogossogou in March 2019, Sobane Da in June 2019 and Malémana in December
2019, which claimed the lives of at least 206 civilians in total. However, a criminal
investigation was launched into the attack in Ogossogou in February 2020. In an
encouraging move, in July, prosecution orders were signed for military personnel
suspected of involvement in serious crimes in central Mali, including the Binedama
incident on 5 June, in which at least 37 persons were summarily executed (31 men,
3 women and 3 children) during a national forces military operation. Arrest warrants
for the suspects remain to be issued. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3885575/files/S_2020_952-EN.pdf | Chase | gender disaggregated | protection | protection |

Agreement. The Agreement Monitoring Committee held its fortieth session prior to
the events of 18 August, on 11 June. The Malian parties reviewed progress made in
the implementation of the Agreement and agreed to include women in the Monitoring
Committee. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3885575/files/S_2020_952-EN.pdf | Chase | gender specific | participation | participation |
