As we have stated on previous occasions before this body, we cannot expect to eradicate sexual violence if we do not ensure that those who are responsible are systematically brought to justice. The message must be clear — sexual violence is not costfree. We welcome therefore the inclusion in the report of a list of parties credibly suspected of committing or being responsible for patterns of rape and other forms of sexual violence. The list must become a basis for a more active engagement of the Council towards perpetrators of conflict-related sexual violence, including taking measures through the relevant sanctions committees, referring them to the International Criminal Court and mandating international commissions of inquiry.
