The United States looks forward to the complete and rapid implementation of resolution 1888 (2009). That includes the resolution's call to appoint a Special Representative of the Secretary-General to lead, coordinate and advocate for efforts to end conflict- related sexual violence. As Secretary of State Clinton said in this Chamber when the resolution was adopted: “It is time for all of us to assume our responsibility to go beyond condemning this behaviour and take concrete steps to end it, to make it socially unacceptable, to recognize it is not cultural; it is criminal.” (S/PV.6195)
