We welcome the second report of the Secretary-General entitled “Sexual violence in conflict” (S/2013/149), which updates us on the widespread use of sexual violence as a method of warfare in various situations. Let me also commend the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms. Zainab Hawa Bangura, and her office, for their great dedication in operationalizing and implementing important mandates deriving from resolutions 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009) and 1960 (2010).
