  1. “NATO will continue to work towards preventing and responding to conflict-related sexual violence, as well as holding those responsible accountable. We will continue to work with the United Nations and other partners in this important area, which has a devastating effect on not only women, girls and boys, but also entire communities.”

  2. “That helps ensure that the actions we take are built upon the insight gained from the perspectives of women civil society members from allies, partners and conflict-affected areas. That has assisted us both in our policymaking and in identifying early warning indicators to support our efforts for the prevention of conflict-related sexual violence. Integrity is one of the guiding principles in NATO’s approach to women and peace and security. With integrity comes accountability. When conflict-related sexual violence cannot be prevented, those who engage in it must be brought to justice. NATO is working to make conflict-related sexual violence is a part of its work on battlefield evidence collection to ensure that war criminals are held accountable. Such efforts are not only a part of what we do, but of who we are.”

  3. “We work with partners, such as the Nordic Centre for Gender in Military Operations, to ensure that gender advisers and gender focal points are well equipped before deployment. NATO also participates in the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict to join the United Nations and our other partners in raising awareness. We continue to amplify that through other activities, both on the military and civilian sides. In particular, NATO Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Women, Peace and Security, Irene Fellin, works closely with the Civil Society Advisory Panel, an independent coalition of women’s rights experts aimed at assisting NATO in the effective implementation of the women and peace and security mandate across the alliance.”

  4. “NATO personnel are obliged to prevent, act and stop sexual violence in areas where it operates; develop the analytical tools necessary to understand the level of risk of sexual violence for information collection and reporting; and cooperate with relevant local and international actors, including the United Nations. Last year, allies approved the NATO policy on conflict-related violence, which outlines the actions that NATO will take to prevent and respond to sexual violence in all operations, missions and Council- mandated activities. NATO’s dedication to prevent and combat any form of sexual violence is far-reaching. We have been working with the United Nations to integrate it into our education and training to ensure that our staff are fully prepared.”

  5. “Let me thank the United Kingdom for convening this important debate. It is particularly timely, considering the reports of the horrific acts of sexual violence perpetrated against women and children in the context of the Russian aggression against Ukraine. Using sexual violence as a tactic of war is a gross violation of human rights. For a decade, starting with the Chicago Summit in 2012, NATO has continued to demonstrate its commitment to preventing and responding to conflict- related sexual violence. In 2015, we developed specific military guidelines on the prevention of and response to conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence, which provide strategic direction with the aim of reducing risk and improving responsive measures for the protection of vulnerable populations.”
