In its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dfa.ie\/media\/dfa\/ourrolepolicies\/unitednations\/Campaign-Brochure-July-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">campaign<\/a> for the seat, Ireland made an overtly \u2018values-based\u2019 set of claims around what its membership would bring to the UNSC, namely \u2018Empathy, Partnership and Independence\u2019. Throughout its articulation of these values, Ireland emphasised a commitment to gender equality. This short blog by <a href=\"https:\/\/pure.ulster.ac.uk\/en\/persons\/catherine-orourke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr Catherine O\u2019Rourke<\/a> considers the potential significance of Ireland\u2019s election to the WPS agenda at the UNSC. Originally published on the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.lse.ac.uk\/wps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">LSE Centre for Women, Peace and Security Blog<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ireland had been laying the ground for this campaign and for UNSC membership for some time. Most notably, Ireland co-chaired the Sustainable Development Goal negotiations and was well-regarded for achieving consensus amongst UN member states. More recently, Ireland chaired the Commission on the Status of Women and is widely-perceived to have done well in securing meaningful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unwomen.org\/en\/csw\/outcomes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">agreed conclusions<\/a>, even in a most inauspicious political context. Nevertheless, the limitations of the two-year non-permanent membership role is well-known. Contending with powerful, divided \u2013 and frankly, often unsympathetic to WPS \u2013 permanent members wielding veto power will be a potent obstacle to progress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ireland\u2019s National Action Plan on WPS: A Herald of Things to Come?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ireland offers a novel prospect for UNSC membership. Importantly, the country has no arms industry (though it does produce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/business\/manufacturing\/irish-military-exports-now-worth-more-than-37m-1.3993361\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dual-use software and technology<\/a>). In addition, disarmament has been a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dfa.ie\/our-role-policies\/international-priorities\/peace-and-security\/disarmament\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">central plank of Ireland\u2019s foreign policy<\/a> since the 1950s. For example, Ireland was one of a small number of states instrumental to pushing the Arms Trade Treaty through the UN General Assembly in 2013. As a missing piece of the WPS agenda, the fact of Ireland holding both disarmament and WPS as the central normative planks of its foreign policy may prove propitious for those seeking further integration of disarmament and WPS agendas.<\/p>\n<p>Further, as I outline in my new book, <i>Women\u2019s Rights in Armed Conflict under International Law<\/i>, and as recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilpf.org\/portfolio-items\/where-are-the-words-the-disappearance-of-the-women-peace-and-security-agenda-in-the-language-of-country-specific-un-security-council-resolutions\/?portfolioCats=565%2C567%2C569%2C570%2C571%2C572%2C573%2C574%2C564%2C575%2C576%2C454%2C455%2C632%2C563%2C479%2C648%2C649%2C650%2C480%2C644%2C463%2C462%2C461%2C460%2C459%2C458%2C640%2C702%2C482%2C457%2C481%2C651\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LSE-WILPF research<\/a> attests, a considerable problem at the UNSC with the WPS agenda is the UNSC\u2019s failure to align its country-specific activity with its WPS commitments. (In the book, I call this a failure of \u2018norm alignment\u2019). This failure manifests across the mandates of UNSC country missions, including peacekeeping and sanctions regimes. Ireland could be an important actor in improving such norm alignment. Promisingly, from its current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dfa.ie\/media\/dfa\/ourrolepolicies\/womenpeaceandsecurity\/Third-National-Action-Plan.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Action Plan<\/a> on WPS, Ireland makes specific commitments in this regard. The Plan (page 36) commits the government to:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Advocate for greater reference to conflict-related SGBV across thematic activities and country- specific activities as a criterion for UN sanctions and advocate for accountability for the use of conflict-related SGBV at all levels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Further, the Irish NAP is very strong on CEDAW-WPS synergies (page 24):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The NAP will be integrated into state party periodic reporting obligations under CEDAW and the Universal Periodic Review through coordination of the Oversight Group. Civil society members of the group will be encouraged to shadow report on Ireland\u2019s CEDAW obligations under Recommendation 30.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>CEDAW-WPS synergies is something that Aisling Swaine and I emphasised in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dfa.ie\/media\/dfa\/ourrolepolicies\/peaceandsecurity\/submissions3rdnationalactionplan\/Aisling-Swaine-and-Catherine-ORourke.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">submission<\/a> to the Irish NAP process and which may offer some indication of Ireland\u2019s WPS priorities at the UNSC moving forward. As Aisling and I have <a href=\"http:\/\/eprints.lse.ac.uk\/85165\/1\/Swaine_CEDAW%20and%20the%20Security%20Council_2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">documented elsewhere<\/a>, CEDAW Committee enthusiasm for monitoring state party implementation of the WPS agenda has not been reciprocated by UNSC eagerness to engage with CEDAW substantively or procedurally.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, in 2016, then non-permanent member Uruguay sponsored an <a href=\"https:\/\/ilg2.org\/2017\/02\/08\/pursuing-synergies-to-guarantee-womens-rights-in-conflict-the-un-security-council-arria-formula-meeting-on-cedaw-and-the-women-peace-and-security-resolutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aria Formula<\/a> meeting on this theme, which gave important momentum to the pursuit of synergies between WPS and CEDAW in order to strengthen the overall protection of women\u2019s rights in conflict. In a context in which the UNSC\u2019s permanent members were unwilling to sponsor such a meeting, Uruguay\u2019s sponsorship of that Aria formula meeting is a good example of the sort of agenda-setting and supportive \u2013 and constructively disruptive \u2013 role on WPS that non-permanent members can have at the UNSC.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in terms of its NAP, Ireland is unusual amongst Western states in addressing WPS as a domestic, as well as international, matter. For example, the NAP includes provisions around the integration and participation of migrant women affected by conflict living in Ireland. Further, there are a number of provisions addressed to women\u2019s participation in peacebuilding on the island of Ireland, including Northern Ireland. In both respects, the Irish approach stands in stark contrast to that of its neighbour, and UNSC permanent member, the UK. The hope is that Ireland may be able to lead by example, and perhaps by other more direct interventions, on the important principle that WPS implicates the domestic as well as foreign policy of Western states.<\/p>\n<p>In personnel terms, Ireland\u2019s UNSC membership will mean one more female Ambassador to the UN at the UNSC, namely Ambassador Geraldine Byrne. The recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harpercollins.com\/9780062820693\/the-education-of-an-idealist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">autobiography<\/a> of former US Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power (also, coincidentally, a native of Ireland), reveals some telling ways in which this female presence and informal female networks can be useful at the UNSC.<\/p>\n<p>Together, these legal, policy and interpersonal dynamics mean that many will look to Ireland for positive leadership on WPS throughout its tenure at the UNSC. It will be a fascinating space to watch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Image:<\/strong> UN Photo via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/un_photo\/3311542415\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
