6. “I shall now make a further statement in my national capacity as the representative of Jordan. I would like to refer to certain allegations by the representative of Syria with respect to Syrian refugee camps in neighbouring States such as Jordan. Since the beginning of the crisis, Jordan has stood by its brothers in their humanitarian tragedy, receiving huge numbers of them and facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance in line with the relevant Security Council resolutions. The reference to the refugee camps by the representative of Syria insults United Nations efforts. Those camps were established in Jordan, in collaboration with the Office ofthe United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and other humanitarian United Nations agencies. Jordan is a State of law and institutions.”

Moreover, it is important to continue in every Member State the steady and patient work of achieving structural justice for women in every sector of society. A proper Vision of women's roles in society and the integration of women into every social sector are crucial aspects of violence prevention. The President (spoke in Arabic): I now give the floor to the representative of Morocco.”

9. “Because of the Catholic Church's permanent local presence in the areas of the world most affected by disasters, a network of Catholic institutions and agencies responds rapidly and effectively to address the consequence of violence in armed conflict. It is always distressing, however, to see that some are still promoting the abortion of unborn children as part of the treatment or response to attacks on their mothers. This contradicts the peace and security mission of the United Nations, and proposes meeting violence with more violence. It has been observed many times on this organ, and it is true, that women are not only victims but also the necessary agents of and contributors to the work of preventing and resolving conflicts.”

10. “To adapt an observation made by His Holiness, a two-point drop in the stock market is front-page news, while the violation of hundreds or even thousands of women may go unreported. My delegation supports those processes identified in successive reports issued by the Secretary-General as essential for ensuring justice to women assaulted in conflict, effective investigation and documentation, consistent and rigorous prosecution, and ongoing investigation and responsibility regarding the root causes of sexual and other violence in armed conflict. We support efforts to provide adequate legal, medical and social services to the particular women affected, to witnesses and survivors, and to their family members.”

11. “Some are also attacks upon women and girls purely because of the faith they profess. Although this is of very serious concern today for Christians, surely it is a matter where our shared human nature, across all religions and cultures, cries out for the common commitment of members of all faiths and Governments to strongly condemning and confronting such heinous acts and to stepping forward to protect those threatened. It seems that, in the past several years, there has emerged a greater international consciousness of the scourge of human trafficking, and even increased response. It is to be hoped that there will be an ever greater appreciation ofwhat Pope Francis has called the trauma, affecting the body and spirit, of rape as a tool of war.”

12. “We all know the awful litany. Women are raped and trafficked, forced into prostitution to earn a living, and terrorized individually and in their roles as protectors of their children and other vulnerable family members. All violence against human life is terrible, but sexual Violence is designed to debase, dehumanize and demoralize in a unique way. The consequences are profound and long-lasting, physical as well as psychological. The hatred and humiliation these crimes can provoke are deep and surely impede in powerful ways the achievement of the goals of peace and security for which this institution was created. The recent year has been marked by new and ongoing atrocities involving sexual violence in various conflicts and by groups such as Boko Haram and the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham.”

13. “I give the floor to the observer of the Holy See. Reverend Monsignor Grech (Holy See): My delegation wishes to express its gratitude for Jordan's presidency of the Security Council this month and for this open debate on sexual violence in armed conflict. We would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his report on conflict-related sexual Violence (S/2015/203), and commend the work of civil society representatives on this issue. Women are not spared any of the brutal consequences of war, and are additionally subject to uniquely degrading and traumatizing attacks and long- term consequences. It is only just and reasonable that their voices should be present and influential in the work of preventing and resolving violence and war. It is well documented that sexual violence of many kinds accompanies modern warfare.”

We also call for a gender-specific approach in United Nations missions. In conclusion, we have a long road ahead in the efforts pursued by Member States and United Nations bodies in order to ensure the necessary protection against sexual Violence in conflict and ultimately eradicate it. In that regard, I want to recall that victims are possibly among the people we know. As such, we should continue to support any and every effort in order to prevent and eradicate this heinous phenomenon and bring about a better future for coming generations. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to His Excellency Mr.”

18. “We have also set aside spaces for refugees in public and private schools, based on our belief in education as the front line of defence against this type of crime. Some of the steps taken by Jordan to reduce the incidence of this phenomenon in armed conflict include the holding of training sessions on investigating sexual violence in conflict, as well as sessions on legal aspects and for police officers and military commanders. We are also keen to promote the role of women in the military in order to heighten the effectiveness of humanitarian missions and peacekeeping operations. We are also increasing the role of women in the Kingdom's medical services by ensuring that they are present in clinics and field hospitals. Jordanian women have had a key role to play in caring for and protecting Syrian refugees.”

Within our modest means, we in Jordan are working actively to ensure the greatest possible protection and care for victims of these types of crimes with respect to Syrian refugees. It goes without saying that we condemn all attempts by individuals to exploit refugees, especially women and girls, by exposing them to the dangers of such crimes owing to the circumstances they are living in. Jordan is raising awareness among individual refugees upon their entry into Jordan, providing them with pamphlets on their human rights and ensuring that they are not exploited.”

20. “However, legal gaps remain that we must work to fill, as they impede the prosecution of perpetrators. In that regard, we also need to help countries and empower their legal institutions in order to address these issues. We also call on the Security Council to work with the International Criminal Court in prosecuting perpetrators by pressuring States that are unable or unwilling to act to prosecute or extradite perpetrators to third parties for prosecution. We reiterate the importance for the Security Council to also encourage documentation and follow-up on these crimes. We need to encourage States engulfed in violence or armed conflict to develop plans of action to combat sexual violence, as well as to grant the relevant United Nations agencies access to conflict zones in order to provide the necessary support to victims.”

21. “They also fear reprisals against their local communities. Hence the importance of awareness-raising in communities to change those mistaken perceptions, which are prevalent in some conflict areas. We need to empower victims and ensure the necessary protection. We need to create an environment conducive to their return to normal lives. Among the major challenges currently facing the international community, there is the need to ensure accountability with respect to the perpetrators of these crimes. We need to ensure that there is no impunity. In that regard, we reiterate the need for States to cooperate by observing the obligation to extradite or prosecute perpetrators. Legal mechanisms to combat these crimes exist under international treaties and conventions.”

22. “In that regard, the acts perpetrated by Daesh - including mass kidnappings of women and minors in areas under its control, rape, the sale and presentation of women as gifts, and systematic sexual servitude - require that we give this problem the priority attention it deserves. Daesh is also using such violence and collective punishment as a way of attracting and winning over young delinquents to their ranks. The same goes for Boko Haram, which carries out mass kidnappings of girls in Nigeria, exploiting them in the worst way by using girls under the age of 10 for suicide attacks. In that regard, we note that there is no specific registry of the number of victims of those crimes perpetrated in conflicts. As members are aware, that is because victims do not submit complaints in order to avoid being stigmatized or held responsible.”

23. “In spite of that progress, however, we continue to see the most abject of crimes being perpetrated during and after conflict, including rape, forced prostitution, sexual slavery and forced sterilization. The report of the Secretary-General (S/2015/203) paints a very gloomy picture with respect to the unprecedented increase in the types of violence and the number of victims, in particular in the Middle East and Africa. In fact, some States and State-affiliated groups, as well as non-State armed groups, have adopted innovative measures to systematically use sexual Violence as a weapon of war against civilians - to terrorize them and force them into exile or displacement, to humiliate them and undermine the moral authority and standing of the adversary, and to get victims to join their ranks.”

We emphasize that the humanitarian suffering in Yemen began and reached record levels when the Houthis failed to comply with Security Council resolutions and rejected the appeals of the international community and the League of Arab States.

Given that the Council stresses the importance of dialogue and political solution to the Yemeni crisis, the resolution requests the Secretary-General to intensify his good offices role in order to enable a resumption of the political transition process, as set out in the Gulf Cooperation Council Initiative and Implementation Mechanism, and the outcomes of the comprehensive National Dialogue Conference.”

The irresponsible practices of the Houthis and their supporters, and the continuation of their unilateral actions, along with their non-compliance with Security Council resolutions, have led the Council to adopt a resolution under Chapter VII, whereby States are prohibited from arming a group of individuals involved in acts that pose threats to peace, security or stability in Yemen.”
