In Chapter 2, I explored whether the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda creates binding obligations for states and other actors under international law. This chapter and Chapter 4 consider further the concepts enshrined in the Security Council’s resolution 1325 (2000): ‘women and peace and security’. In Chapter 1, I addressed the Security Council’s simplistic understanding of ‘women’. This chapter looks at the Council’s conceptualisation of ‘peace’ and Chapter 4 that of ‘security’, both within the framework of public international law. But this is admittedly an artificial distinction: without security there cannot be peace for any person, regardless of their sex, gender, age or any other categorisation of identity, and without peace there is no security.1 And militarised security especially denies peace and, for many, fosters feelings of insecurity.
