"On 10 March 2005, I voted against the resolution on the Follow-up to the Fourth World Conference on Women – Platform for Action (Beijing +10).
This was because the resolution was particularly short-sighted and poorly thought out. It contained many appropriate proposals but also many quite inappropriate ones, some of which were simply ridiculous.
An example of the latter is paragraph 12, the measure providing for gender equality to be incorporated into the Structural Funds. There is also the call for women to constitute 40% of the staff of peacekeeping or conflict prevention missions. I wish to register a particular protest against paragraph 13, which contains a reference to female reproductive health.
In the final analysis, it was because of that wording that I was unable to vote in favour of the resolution."@en1
