We agree to a large extent with the specific recommendation of the Secretary General. We must bring greater pressure to bear against those responsible for acts of sexual violence in armed conflict. In this regard, we support the list of parties, and even individuals, that are credibly suspected of committing or being responsible for patterns of rape and other forms of sexual violence in situations of armed conflict on the Security Council agenda. We also feel that the Council should systematically reflect the sexual violence in armed conflicts in authorizations and renewals of the mandates of peacekeeping and special political missions of the United Nations.
