The global political elite has developed a pragmatic approach to addressing gender justice issues based on rationality and patriarchy, which hinders the activities of women. There is an urgent need to develop and implement the most efficient, inclusive and emancipatory practices in the light of experience. This article reveals an understanding of the content and meaning of feminist foreign policy in the context of official international content. It assesses the impact of UNSCR 1325 on the development of feminist foreign policy and gender justice. The author concludes that certain fundamental limitations of the document prevent the achievement of real goals lobbied by international organizations and feminist scientists, as well as the deconstruction of gender mainstreamin.

В статье раскрывается понимание содержания и значение феминистской внешней политики в контексте официального международного контента. Оценивается влияние содержания Резолюции 1325 СБ ООН на развитие феминистской внешней политики и гендерной справедливости. В результате был сделан вывод об определенных фундаментальных ограничениях документа, которые препятствуют достижению реальных целей, лоббируемых международными организациями и учеными-феминистками, а также деконструкции учета гендерной проблематики. Отмечается прагматичный подход глобальной политической элиты к решению проблем гендерной справедливости, основой которого является рациональность и патриархальность, что препятствует международной деятельности женщин. Возникает необходимость в разработке и внедрении с учетом имеющегося опыта наиболее эффективных, инклюзивных и эмансипирующих практик.
