Extract

Welcome—you are a very select audience—to this roundtable. And I have just been quibbling. How can you have a roundtable in a room this size? But, anyway, it is still called a roundtable on the Security Council, Women, Peace, and Security Agenda in Practice. I was going to say to start with, I do not know how many people in the room for whom the words “women, peace, and security” make sense or is a sort of language that you are actually used to. Certainly, when I talk to many international lawyers who are not in the room, they look at me blankly and say, “What? What is that?”
