Legal aspects of women\u27s integration in the area of peace and security

Prispevek žensk k varnosti, v smislu mednarodne varnosti, je (pre)pogosto štet za dodano vrednost, namesto kot ključni instrument za zagotovitev učinkovitosti mirovno-varnostnih politik, in predstavlja pozabljen element načela enakosti spolov. Magistrsko delo se osredotoča na raziskovanje vidika enakosti, enakopravnosti in participacije žensk v obrambnem sektorju v Sloveniji. Prvi del naloge vsebuje pregled mednarodno pravnih in političnih zavez v povezavi z vključevanjem žensk v mirovne in varnostne procese, pri čemer so izpostavljene prednosti in slabosti trenutne mednarodne ureditve. V drugem delu sledi študija primera za Slovenijo, kjer je vidik vključevanja žensk v mirovne in varnostne procese najprej umeščen v že obstoječo ureditev na področju enakosti spolov v Sloveniji, čemur sledi pregled pravnih in političnih dokumentov in analiza izvajanja teh dokumentov. Analiza izvajanja političnih in pravnih zavez odgovori na naslednja vprašanja: ali obstajajo v Sloveniji vključujoče novačniške prakse in promocije poklica obema spoloma, (ne)obstoj uniform in opreme primerne za oba spola, pravne in dejanske možnosti družinskega življenja, obstoj pravnega instrumentarija za spopadanje s spolnim nasiljem znotraj obrambnega sektorja, kot tudi obstoj svetovalca za enakost spolov in tako naprej. Vse ugotovitve so po raziskanih področjih preko izbranih kazalnikov ovrednotene, ocenjene in razvrščene v tabelo, ki prikazuje delno analizo stopnje uspešnosti Republike Slovenije pri izvrševanju mednarodnopravnih obveznosti in lastnih zavez.The contribution of women to security, in terms of international security, is (often) considered as an added value, rather than as a key element in ensuring the effectiveness of peace and security policies, and represents a forgotten element of principle of gender equality. The focus of this master thesis is researching the aspects of gender equality and participation of women in the defense sector in Slovenia. The first part of the thesis focuses on reviewing international legal and political commitments in relation to women\u27s involvement in peacekeeping and security processes, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of current international regulations. The second part includes an analysis of a case study for Slovenia, firstly positioning the aspect of women\u27s involvement in peacekeeping and security processes in the existing gender equality regime in Slovenia, followed by a review of legal and policy documents, including an analysis of the implementation of these documents. An analysis of the implementation of political and legal obligations answers the following questions: are there inclusive recruitment practices and promotion of employment in armed forces for both sexes in Slovenia, the (in)existence of uniforms and equipment suitable for both sexes, legal and de facto family life opportunities, the existence legal instruments for dealing with allegations of sexual harassment complaints within defense sector, as well as the existence of a gender advisor and more. All findings in the research were evaluated through selected indicators, in order to partially assess the implementation of international legal obligations and Slovenia\u27s own commitments
