Gendered Language in the United Nations Secretary-General’s Report on Sudan
This article discusses the 2005 report of the UN Secretary-General calling for a “peace support operation” in Sudan (S/2005/57), a proposal subsequently supported by the Security Council in resolutions 1547 and 1574. Hala Eltom analyses the language of this report from a gender perspective and finds that it relies on generalities that lead to policy ambiguities, and reflects the persistent gender biases of the UN as an institution.
