Abstract
This paper examines how the UN Security Council has embraced mainstream feminist ideas in a manner that may ultimately be detrimental to women's lives. The paper asks why some elements of feminist debates (victim feminism, formal equality, quotas) have been develop under the 1325 framework while the spectrum of feminist thinking on women's diversity, on self-determination and on structural bias within legal systems has been so difficult to develop into concrete reforms. Ultimately the process of pursuing feminist ideas in the mainstream and into institutional settings is a rejection of specific feminist approaches that are consequently shifted to the peripheries of feminist methods and remain beyond the peripheries of international legal discussions.
