NGOWG MAP Recommendations
Monthly Action Points on Women, Peace & Security for October 2011
NGO Working Group on Women, Peace & Security
In the MAP for October 2011, the NGOWG had several recommendations for the Security Council on the current situation in Kosovo:
When discussing the expected UNMIK report, the Council should request information on the advancement of human rights, as required by the Security Council (SCR 1244 OP11; and SCR 1889, OP5). This includes women’s right to political participation, and the prosecution of war crimes, including crimes of sexual violence, as well as the need for protection of witnesses.

Monthly Action Points on Women, Peace & Security for April 2011
NGO Working Group on Women, Peace & Security
In the MAP for April 2011, the NGOWG had several recommendations for the Security Council on the current situation in Kosovo:
Neither the previous reports on Kosovo (S/2010/562 and S/2011/43), nor the last report on the international security presence in Kosovo (S/2011/105) assessed the protection and promotion of women’s human rights, as required by the Security Council (SCR 1244 OP11j and SCR 1889, OP5). In discussing the Kosovo report expected in April, the Council should insist such information be provided, including on progress made in women’s political participation, and the prosecution of war crimes, including crimes of sexual violence and the protection of witnesses. The Council should support the opening of an immediate investigation by the international mission in Kosovo into the alleged complicity of Prime Minister Hashim Thaçi in crimes committed in the aftermath of the Kosovo conflict, including the abduction of women exploited for sex.
