Entretien avec Bineta Diop, envoyée spéciale pour la paix et la sécurité auprès de l’Union africaine

September 23, 2019

Les questions : 1/ Vingt ans après l’adoption, par le Conseil de sécurité de l’ONU, de la Résolution 1325, quel bilan faites-vous du Programme Femmes, paix et sécurité ? 2/ Ces dernières années, les armées ont commencé à prévoir une représentation féminine dans la composition de leurs contingents pour le maintien de la paix. Comment évaluez-vous l’arrivée des femmes dans les processus de paix et de sécurité et quel pourrait en être l’apport ? 3/ En ne favorisant pas l’accession des femmes à la magistrature suprême, les grandes démocraties ne donnent-elles pas le mauvais exemple en matière d’égalité des genres ?
