The key focus of South Africa’s term on the UNSC was to continue to play a meaningful role in strengthening the relationship between the AU Peace and Security Council and the UNSC. South Africa also used the opportunity to continue to emphasise the importance and implementation of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda; post conflict reconstruction and development; the peaceful resolution of conflict while fighting impunity; and championing the cause of children and the youth in armed conflict situations In keeping with its focus on promoting the African Agenda, South Africa used its Presidency to highlight the strengthening of AU-UN cooperation and to focus on preventative diplomacy, conflict prevention and resolution on the African continent
