Extract:

We must fight against impunity for perpetrators of grave violations against children in armed conflict, including sexual violence, and underscore the importance of national and international accountability mechanisms, in particular the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Security Council should, for example, urgently address the situation in Syria in all its aspects, including on a possible referral to the ICC. We welcome the Special Representative's request for progress in prosecuting crimes of sexual violence at both the national and the international levels.
