Extract:

This is why the attention of the Council to this issue is so important. Security Council Resolutions
1325 and 1820 address sexual violence and exploitation in conflict situations more forcefully than
ever before. Resolution 1820, in particular, requires the Secretary-General to report on specific
situations in which sexual violence has been widely or systematically employed against civilians in
such situations. The United States is pleased that the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations
(DPKO) -- with its expertise on conflict situations -- will be contributing to the Secretary-General's
report on the implementation of this Resolution.
