Secondly, monitoring and reporting on incidents of sexual violence is important, as highlighted in the Secretary-General's most recent report (S/2013/149). We extend our full support to the endeavours of the United Nations in this area. In this respect, as a neighbouring country, Turkey took note with concern of the findings of the recent report of the independent international commission of inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic. In that regard, access should be granted to the commission to conduct on-site investigations with respect to the allegations of all human rights violations in Syria, including sexual violence against women.
