Extract: 

"With respect to sexual violence, I stress the importance of continuing to implement resolutions 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009) and 1960 (2010), given that the need to counter such violence, particularly towards women and children, is an important aspect of the processes involved in resolving conflicts and building peace. Such action allows their full involvement in these processes. To that end, it is desirable to create synergy between policies to combat HIV/AIDS and strategies to prevent sexual violence in conflict and post-conflict situations. I take this opportunity to invite the international financial institutions, in cooperation with States, to mobilize further resources to build the capacities of national health systems in order to ensure that persons who are infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS enjoy adequate care and assistance"
