1. “An investment in human rights and in human rights education and training, in the empowerment of all persons and in women’s full, equal and meaningful participation and leadership at all levels of decision-making is a key investment in the prevention of sexual violence. Partnerships with national security actors, for example, must be further strengthened. Training on sexual violence prevention should be included in security-sector reform programmes to build capacity for local security actors. We call on all States to redouble efforts to prevent and combat sexual violence in conflict and ensure that all perpetrators are brought to account.”

2. “We can also bolster accountability efforts and increase compliance with international legal frameworks by assisting States in harmonizing domestic laws with international standards. Providing support to justice systems, both military and civilian, has been key to success and is the best means of ensuring that the gains made so far can be sustained over the long term. Investing in justice for victims is also an investment in sustainable peace. Service delivery and material assistance cannot be dismissed as a secondary issue for security stakeholders. Meeting the basic needs of survivors and fragile communities is a form of protection against exploitation and abuse. Even more important than ensuring accountability for perpetrators is to prevent sexual violence from occurring in the first place.”

3. “The legal frameworks are in place; now we must call on all States to use all instruments at their disposal to ensure its implementation, including by making conflict-related sexual violence a designation criterion in all relevant United Nations sanctions regimes. The Security Council must ensure that all actors are held accountable for the crimes that they commit, at both the national and international levels. The international criminal justice system, both judicial and quasi-judicial institutions, must act, through an integrated and coordinated approach, to collect evidence and to set up and monitor criminal proceedings until their conclusion. The United Nations is most effective when it works in support of national efforts and towards reinforcing them.”

4. “Portugal aligns itself with the statements delivered on behalf of the European Union and of the Group of Friends of Women and Peace and Security (see S/PV.9016). Portugal welcomes the holding of this debate, which is particularly relevant given the disturbing reports of sexual and gender violence perpetrated by Russian forces and non-State actors in Ukraine. Our thoughts once again are with all persons victims of sexual violence in armed conflict, which affects women and girls in particular. The Security Council has already adopted a comprehensive framework to address conflict-related sexual violence.”
