  1. “In conclusion, we call for renewed political and ethical commitment to the empowerment of women in conflict and post-conflict areas and States. Women are key contributors to transitions from conflict to development and from societies torn by armed conflict to sound societies able to achieve sustainable development.”

  2. “The Center also offers such training to civilian, military and police elements from Arab and African States that take part in United Nations peacekeeping. Seventh, we stress the need for concerted international efforts to build the capacities of local and religious leaders to raise awareness in societies and communities on the need to eliminate the stereotype and stigma of victims of sexual violence and their children. It is the perpetrators who should bear that stigma instead. The victims should not be criminalized. We commend the role ofAl-Azhar Al-Sharifin rejecting the advisory opinions of terrorist groups on the status of women in conflict areas. Eighth, there must be respect for culturally specific elements of States when dealing with victims of sexual violence - whether men or women - during armed conflict.”

  3. “We are committed to the zero- tolerance policy of the Secretary-General with regard to sexual exploitation crimes. We continue to work with the Department of Peacekeeping Operations to end all forms of violence against women in peace operations. Sixth, the national curricula provided to peacekeeping troops during training should include guidance on how to deal with sexual violence. In that connection, the Cairo International Center for Conflict Resolution, Peacekeeping and Peacebuilding, in coordination with the Egyptian Ministry of Defence, includes the issue of combating sexual violence in armed conflict in the predeployment training of the Egyptian military, police or civilian personnel that take part in peacekeeping forces.”

  4. “We call for coordinated work between the Team of Experts and the Network to improve the United Nations response to sexual violence in conflict areas. Fourth, we welcome action by the United Nations to address conflict-related sexual violence, including by increasing the number of women protection advisers on the ground. In that regard, we have contributed female staff to the police and military components of United Nations missions in the Sudan and Western Sahara and to the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur since 2009. Fifth, we support the efforts of the Special Coordinator on improving the United Nations response to sexual exploitation and abuse, within her mandate, to address cases of sexual exploitation and abuse by United Nations personnel or personnel under the United Nations flag.”

  5. “Second, effective development, the eradication of poverty and the economic empowerment of women and girls are factors that can help end sexual exploitation and abuse in armed conflict areas and post-conflict situations. We stress the important role of the donor community in that regard. Third, we welcome the work of the United Nations Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual Violence in Conflict, in cooperation with the United Nations specialized funds, programmes and agencies, particularly with regard to building the capacities of States in armed conflict or post-conflict situations in the areas of investigation, prosecution, military justice, legislative reform, protection of witnesses and reparations. We welcome the work of the United Nations Action Network against Sexual Violence in Conflict.”

  6. “Recently, terrorist groups have begun to use sexual violence as a tool to exploit religion or race or as a means of expanding control of territory. Egypt expresses its concern about the lack of accountability of terrorist groups, including the organization of Islamic State and Boko Haram, for sexual violence committed against women and girls in armed conflict areas. In this context, we would like to stress the following points. First, we reiterate our call for the reports of the Secretary-General on conflict-related sexual violence to remain committed to the mandates issued in the Security Council resolutions, so that such mandates achieve their desired goals in armed conflict areas and post-conflict situations.”

  7. “Ms. Abdelkawy (Egypt) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this important debate. I would also like to thank Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed, Ms. Pramila Patten, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, and the representative of civil society for their valuable contributions. The Secretary-General in his report this year (S/2018/250) mentions that the past few months have seen positive developments, the most important of which was the release of many women and girls by armed terrorist groups. However, those developments are coupled with challenges, the most important of which is the need to rehabilitate and reintegrate those women and girls into their societies.”
