  1. “In particular, we support the efforts of the International Criminal Court and its Prosecutor to ensure that the perpetrators of sexual and gender-related crimes are held accountable for their actions.”

  2. “We therefore advocate a holistic approach to caring for the victims of sexual violence, including children born as the result of rape. We must ensure that any response focuses on the rights and needs ofall survivors, including their sexual and reproductive health rights and that they are treated with dignity and respect. Any response must encompass medical and psychosocial services, while at the same time facilitating and strengthening the reintegration of survivors into their communities and social structures. Thirdly, Switzerland is concerned about the impunity enjoyed by the perpetrators of sexual Violence in national and international conflicts.”

  3. “Combating that scourge therefore requires the inclusion and empowerment of women, the protection of women human rights defenders and the willingness of men to create a climate of mutual trust and respect. Secondly, it is important to acknowledge that, while women and girls are the main targets of sexual Violence in conflict, men and boys are also victims of those terrible acts of violence, but the subject remains taboo. Cases of violence against men and boys are rarely reported, as those who have been subjected to such acts are even more fearful of being stigmatized and excluded. Given such gender stereotypes as "a man can be only a hero, but never a victim", it is difficult if not impossible to break the cycle of silence and revictimization.”

  4. “Switzerland reaffirms the primary responsibility of States Members to protect men, women and children from sexual violence and rape. Any response must address as a priority the needs and rights of survivors, the prevention of violations and abuse and the accountability of the perpetrators of such crimes. Three aspects are of particular importance to us. First, sexual violence is not only a feature of contemporary conflicts; it is also foreshadows them. The higher the rate of sexual violence is in a given society, the more likely it is that violence will be used in conflict situations. Gender inequality and discrimination are at the heart of sexual violence.”

  5. “Mr. Fachinotti (Switzerland) (spoke in French): Switzerland thanks Germany for its leadership in pursuing and stepping up the fight against sexual violence in conflict within the context of this open debate and next year's twentieth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000). In particular, we express our gratitude to this morning's briefers for their outstanding efforts in this area. Switzerland welcomes the German initiative of introducing resolution 2467 (2019), a new resolution on sexual violence in conflict, which aims to strengthen monitoring and accountability mechanisms while identifying a survivor-centred approach. Switzerland is concerned, however, about the weakening of agreed language on key issues.”
