I would also like to pay special tribute to Special Representative of the Secretary-General Margot Wallström. In less than a year, she has had a great impact. Her global advocacy role has given this issue prominence in public debate, pushing for an end to impunity, including in relation to the Walikale mass rapes. Her field visits to speak with survivors in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and her briefings have brought the voices of those women to the Council to inform our deliberations.
