43. 2018 年 1 月，作为大会和安全理事会通过的关于建设和平架构审查的同文决议(分别为第 70/262 号决议和第 2282(2016)号决议)的后续行动，我提交了关于建设和平和保持和平的报告(A/72/707-S/2018/43)。报告强调，妇女切实参与和平与预防工作可以提高建设和平的成效，加强性别平等、和平与复原力之间的直接关系。在 2018 年 4 月 24 日至 26 日举行的关于建设和平与保持和平的大会高级别会议上，会员国进一步重申支持采取全面预防办法，并在大会和安理会通过了两项平行决议(分别为第 72/276 和 2413(2018)号决议)。在这些决议以及后续讨论中，会员国再次承诺支持联合国为预防冲突爆发、升级、持续存在和再度发生所做的工作。这些承诺加强了联合国在整个冲突周期使用包括特别政治任务在内的一系列工具开展工作的重要性。在这方面，会员国认识到特别政治任务作为维持国际和平与安全的灵活工具所发挥的重要作用，包括促进全面建设和平和保持和平(第 72/89 号决议)。
43. In January 2018, I submitted my report on peacebuilding and sustaining peace (A/72/707-S/2018/43) in follow-up to the twin resolutions on the review of the peacebuilding architecture adopted by the General Assembly (70/262) and the Security Council (2282 (2016)). The report emphasizes that the meaningful participation of women in peace and prevention efforts strengthens the effectiveness of peacebuilding and the direct relation between gender equality, peace and resilience. At the Assembly high-level meeting on peacebuilding and sustaining peace, held from 24 to 26 April 2018, Member States further reiterated their support for a comprehensive approach to prevention and adopted two parallel resolutions in the Assembly and the Council (72/276 and 2413 (2018) respectively). In these resolutions and their continuing discussions, Member States have reiterated their commitment to supporting the work of the United Nations to prevent the outbreak, escalation, continuation and recurrence of conflict. These commitments have reinforced the importance of the United Nations working along the conflict cycle and employing an array of tools, including special political missions. In this context, Member States have recognized the important role of the special political mission as a flexible tool for the maintenance of international peace and security, including through contributing to a comprehensive approach to peacebuilding and sustaining peace (resolution 72/89).
