It is a worrying trend that sexual violence in those contexts remains universally under-reported, for which a lack of adequate national capacity and expertise for investigating and prosecuting acts of sexual violence remains one of the main causes. Malaysia therefore welcomes the ongoing work of the United Nations and other stakeholders, as well as that of the Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual Violence in Conflict, which focuses its efforts on strengthening the capacity of national rule-of-law and justice institutions. We feel that engaging with the relevant Governments would strengthen the Team's capacity to effectively address sexual violence against women and girls.
