Summary/Abstract: The Republic of Macedonia has prepared a National Action Plan (NAP) for the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (WPS) in order to advance the status and role of women and their participation in security policy and peace processes locally, nationally and internationally. It may be noted that some of the guidelines and obligations arising from UNSCR 1325 have already been covered by the institutions’ gender policy activities. However, the part of UNSCR 1325 referring to the role of women in peace and security remains underdeveloped within the strategic documents. An analysis of the activities undertaken in this area shows that additional activities need to be launched to sensitize institutions, governmental and non-governmental alike, and develop gender-sensitive policies in the fields of peace and security. This paper presents in detail the results of implementing UNSCR 1325 at the national level, as well as the problems that have arisen in the process.
