In that regard, let me also mention the great importance that the Human Security Network attaches to the role of the Council in the protection of women and children. We are pleased with the work undertaken by the Security Council in progressively strengthening the protection framework for children affected by armed conflict, as well as with its efforts to prevent and combat sexual violence. We would like to underline the importance of capacity-building for State institutions and transitional justice approaches that are victim-centred and gendersensitive in order to ensure that the rights of victims, in particular of women and children, are fully respected and their interests taken into account. We fully support the Secretary-General's recommendation for further attention by the Council to the rights of victims to reparations.
