Resolution on the fundamental rights in Serbia and Kosovo

The European Parliament adopted a resolution on the United Nations Special Session entitled "Women 2000: gender equality, development and peace for the twenty-first century" of 5-9 June 2000. Parliament called for the speedy implementation of the agreed further actions in the Member States. The Commission's proposal for a fifth action programme on gender equality is viewed as a useful implementation for Beijing +5. The conclusions of the Special Session should be noted for future development of development policies. Parliament requested that a fifth UN World Conference on women be organised in five years time, and that all the Parliament's competent committees be involved in preparations at the earliest possible stage.�
