Serbia supports the fight against all forms of violence, especially against sexual and gender-based violence in all circumstances. Sexual violence in armed conflict presents one of the most serious forms of violation and abuse of international humanitarian law and international human rights law. In recent years, prevention and suppression and an adequate response to sexual violence in conflict has been the subject of intensive deliberations in the Security Council. We welcome the efforts made to that end. We support the activities undertaken by the Secretary-General and have followed the actions of Ms. Bangura very closely.
