Secondly, there is conflict-related violence against women. As a way of tackling that problem, we believe that the Security Council should, as appropriate, ensure that ceasefire agreements include sexual violence in their definitions. On this occasion, we would like to welcome the publication of the Guidance for Effective Mediation, which is contained in the Secretary- General's report entitled “Strengthening the role of mediation in the peaceful settlement of disputes, conflict prevention and resolution” (A/66/811, annex I), which addresses conflict-related sexual violence in ceasefire and peace agreements, and we encourage its increased utilization.
