The establishment of the International Criminal Court represented an important step forward in the fight against sexual violence and gender-related violence.

We therefore support the decision of the Secretary-General to carry out or support impartial and independent investigations into cases of sexual violence against women in the Republic of Guinea, Timor-Leste and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to mention only a few cases.
