UNDP Beijing Express Declaration
The Beijing Express Declaration is written declaration drafted on the a chartered train journey that was known as the Beijing Express.
Background[edit]
The Beijing Express was the name given to the train used to transport national delegates attending the World Conference on Women, in 1995.[1] The train passed through the Balkans, Russia, Ukraine, and the Caucuses.[1]
During the train journey, the female delegates on the train held working sessions, the final one of which was facilitated by Lesley Abdela.[1] The outcome of the final session was the declaration, a written document authored by Irish United Nations Development Programme staffer Leueen Miller[2] with input from 25 other women.[3]
The sessions produced the declaration, which had the theme White veils, not blue helmets.[2] The declaration described the state of the male-dominated United Nation's peacekeeping and diplomacy efforts as a failure.[2]
