Those efforts led to the Security Council's establishment of a Working Group tasked with the protection of civilians and to draw up plans to put an end to all murder and other forms of violence, including sexual violence, affecting civilians. However, the thrust of the recommendations and presidential statements by the Council have unfortunately not yielded the desired results. We therefore call for respect for all legal obligations and resolutions adopted in this area, as the failure to implement them would lead to the proliferation of a culture of impunity and more violence against civilians.
