Clinton: Womens issues integral to dealing with Syria, Libya

Washington (CNN) Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that womens peace and security issues were integral for dealing with foreign policy issues in Syria, Iran and Libya.

In front of students and former State Department officials at Georgetown University, Clinton made the case that issues like rape in conflict areas and upward mobility for women were not just issues that women should address. Instead, she said, they are a responsibility that we all share.

It is important at the outset to underscore that this is not a womens issue, Clinton said. This cuts to the very core of who we are as human beings and what kind of societies that we choose to have, to what kind of world we want to live in and leave for our children.

Clintons remarks came during an award ceremony, where the former first lady was giving the Hillary Rodham Clinton Award for Advancing Women in Peace and Security to Dr. Denis Mukwege, founder of Panzi Hospital in the Democratic Republican of the Congo, and William Hague, secretary of state for the United Kingdom. Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the current Secretary General of NATO, also received the award but was unable to attend the ceremony.

Clinton said the fact that three men received the award was intentional and an effort to point out that men too can be champions of womens security issues.

When introducing Hague, the former first lady commended the conservative diplomat for leading on issues of women, peace and security, especially considering issues like Syria, Libya and Iran were commanding international attention.

What he understood and why I respect this decision of him so greatly, is that these are not separate issues, Clinton said. Women, peace and security are and must be recognized as being integral to dealing with all of those headline issues.

Tuesday's award ceremony was part of Georgetowns Institute for Women, Peace and Security, an office that is led by Melanne Verveer, a woman whose ties to Clinton date back to her early years in the White House and was Clintons ambassador-at-large for global womens issues.

Clinton left the State Department at the start of 2013 and is now considered the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. Clinton, however, has said she has yet to decide whether she will run.

Hague dedicated the start of his speech to Clinton, commending the former first lady and noting a few light moments the two shared when they worked together.

Joe Biden: Hillary Clinton's decision won't affect my 2016 plans

Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday said that Hillary Clinton's 2016 plans would not affect his own decision on whether or not to run for the presidency.

Whether she runs or not will not affect my decision, Biden said during an interview on ABCs daytime talk show The View.

Its as likely I run as I dont run, he added. I just truly havent made up my mind.

Biden has declined to close the door on a possible run, despite polls showing him a distant second to former Secretary of State Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

Clintons supporters have begun laying the groundwork for her to run, but she has sidestepped questions about her future, telling ABC in an interview in December that she would make a decision sometime next year.

The vice president said that he would run if he believed he was the best candidate to press forward President Obama's agenda, citing his work on foreign policy and to help bolster the middle class.

I think my knowledge of foreign policy, my engagement with world leaders, my experience uniquely positions me to be, to follow through on the agenda that Barack and I have of bringing up world peace in a way that is real and substantive, he said.

Biden also cited his concerns for the middle class, calling it the single focus, what we should be looking at, how to grow it.

But the vice president cautioned that Democrats should stay focused on the approaching 2014 midterms.

Biden on 2016: Hillary Clintons Plans Wont Affect Mine

Hillary Clinton may be leading in early 2016 matchups, but Vice President Joe Biden wont let that stop him from running for president.

Speaking onABCs The ViewTuesday, Mr. Biden said of Mrs. Clinton: Whether she runs or not will not affect my decision.

He said there is a 50-50 chance that he will enter the race. Its as likely I run as I dont run, he said, adding that his wife would be supportive of a campaign.

My knowledge of foreign policy, my engagement with world leaders, my experience uniquely positions me to follow through on the agenda [President Barack Obama] and I have of bringing up world peace in a way that is real and substantive, he continued.

But he sought to turn attention back to the upcoming midterms, as Democrats seek to win the House and maintain majority control in the Senate. If we dont do that, our agenda is not going to be worth very much in the last two years, Mr. Biden said.

Mr. Biden also appeared Tuesday night on Seth Meyerss inaugural episode as host of NBCs Late Night, where he joked about his 2016 plans. Well, you know, I was planning on making a major announcement tonight, but I decided tonights your night, he told Mr. Meyers. So I hope youll invite me back.

Mr. Meyerss other guest, Parks and Recreation star Amy Poehler, declared her plans more definitively. Im gonna run for president, she said.

The vice presidents remarks come amidst Democrats concerns that the threat of a Clinton runpaired with the formidable campaign apparatus that has already sprung up to support hercould thin the ranksof possible 2016 contenders. According to a Washington Post/ABC News poll last month, Mrs. Clinton is leading Mr. Biden by an overwhelming 61 points, with 73% of Democrats saying they would support her. Some Democrats worry that potential candidates who might otherwise have a shot, like Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley, will be discouraged from entering the race, even though Mrs. Clinton has not yet announced whether she will run.

Last August,the Journal reported that allies of Mr. Biden had concluded that he can win the 2016 nominationeven if Mrs. Clinton also ran.
