The work of the Court is therefore of direct relevance to the 1325 agenda, as the Security Council anticipated when referencing the Rome Statute in 1325 ten years ago. It is therefore astonishing that the role of international criminal justice in general and the ICC in particular are entirely absent from the latest report on the implementation of resolution 1325 - not its only, but perhaps its most serious defect. Fighting impunity is clearly a central part of our efforts to eradicate sexual violence: It must therefore be an integral part of any future efforts in this body and the reports submitted for its consideration.
