Beijing +5 Reports

January 2000

Five years after the Fourth World Conference in Beijing, a special session of the General Assembly entitled “Women 2000: gender equality, development and peace for the twenty-first century” was held in New York from 5 to 9 June 2000. This session was dedicated to examining progress achieved in the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action and also provided an opportunity for Governments, the United Nations system and civil society to share and compare experiences, to renew old commitments and make new ones and to examine obstacles encountered as well as good practices to identify additional measures and initiatives to speed up the process of implementation.

During the Special Session in June 2000, ESCWA held daily briefing meetings for the Arab Group in collaboration with the LAS and co-organized a dialogue on NGOs as partners in the development process in collaboration with the other regional commissions.
