1. “Our shared responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security includes a profound responsibility to safeguard the lives and the security of women and girls, who make up at least half of humankind. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. I give the floor to the representative of Armenia.”

2. “With improved information, the United Nations will be able to assist States in responding more robustly to these crimes. As in the Democratic Republic of the Congo after the Walikale rapes, we expect our actions to spur commanding officers to turn those who commit sexual violence over to the authorities to be brought to justice. Finally, we cannot separate the challenge of sexual violence from the broader security issues facing the Council. Resolution 1960 (2010), its predecessors and our follow-up actions must send a clear message. We do not just condemn sexual violence and rape as weapons of war, but we are taking concrete steps to end it. We are working to make clear that rape and sexual violence are unacceptable and that perpetrators will face consequences.”

3. “We particularly hope that the Team of Experts on the Rule of Law will become a valuable tool in helping Member States develop appropriate judicial responses to sexual violence in conflict. Data collection is also vital for non-humanitarian activities to prevent and respond to gender-based violence. The resolution we adopted today will improve the collection and analysis of information required to better understand the patterns of sexual violence in armed conflict. Of course, better information by itself will not halt sexual violence, but it will inform our decisions as a Council and as Member States, and bring us one step closer to our ultimate goal. We must also shine the international spotlight on the perpetrators and use this mechanism to inform targeted actions by the Council and by Member States.”

4. “We hope that the United Nations will continue to identify women's protection advisers and put them in more peacekeeping operations, and complete a gaps analysis of United Nations protection strategies. In her brief tenure so far, Special Representative Wallstrom has brought leadership, passion and clarity to efforts to end impunity for the heinous crimes of sexual violence in conflict zones. She is playing a vital role in the United Nations efforts to support the response of the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the horrifying mass rapes in Walikale, which has included the arrest of one of the perpetrators. The United States fully supports Special Representative Wallstrom in her work, and we encourage our fellow Member States to consider additional voluntary contributions to support her mandate.”

5. “The United States commends the United Nations, especially United Nations Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict, for its leadership in finding effective ways to address this problem. We have been encouraged by the United Nations response and follow- up to the appalling August attacks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, including the additional steps it has taken to build mission-wide strategies to better protect civilians. The United Nations has increased random patrols, recruited more female peacekeepers and improved communications. It is also employing scenario-based training for peacekeepers to help combat sexual violence. But obviously, more must still be done.”

6. “Rape, sexual assault and gender-based violence are all too often used deliberately and cynically as weapons of war, and the fight to end sexual violence has yet to be universally recognized as central to securing international peace and security. Some still think that sexual violence is somehow a natural accompaniment of conflict. It is not. As the Secretary-General's report notes, "The myth that rape is an inevitable by- product of war is persistent and dangerously self- fulfilling" (S/2010/604, para. 7). I hope that this meeting, in some small way, will help put an end to that myth and channel our shared commitment to confronting and combating sexual violence into concrete actions that improve the fate of women and girls.”

7. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United States. Let me begin by thanking the Secretary-General, Special Representative Wallstrom, Under-Secretary- General Le Roy and Lieutenant General Gaye for their very powerful and insightful briefings. I also want to thank my colleagues on the Council for their very strong statements of support for resolution 1960 (2010), just adopted, as well as for the broad goals of fighting sexual violence and the rape of women around the world. We are gathered because we all agree on the importance of addressing an issue that cries out for the world's conscience, and that is sexual violence in conflict. We agree that the challenge is urgent and immense. The human cost is all too real. Armed conflicts continue to have a devastating impact, particularly on women and girls.”

17. “At the same time, all States must redouble their efforts to stem the flow of arms into Darfur and faithfully implement the United Nations sanctions regime. The United States remains deeply committed to a brighter future for all the people of the Sudan. As President Obama noted at the United Nations in September, "What happens in the Sudan in the days ahead may decide whether a people who have endured too much war move forward towards peace or slip backwards to bloodshed. And what happens in the Sudan matters to all sub-Saharan Africa, and it matters to the world." I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. 24 There are no further speakers inscribed on my list.”

18. “In particular, the United States calls on the Government of the Sudan to immediately halt aerial bombardments. We condemn the bombardments of the 12 and 24 November and 6 December into the Kiir River valley, which resulted in the displacement of at least 1,000 people. We again call on the Government of the Sudan to end the arrest and harassment of human rights activists and journalists and to release those who have been imprisoned unjustly, including those jailed for exercising such basic rights as freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom of assembly. Darfur remains a top priority for the United States. This is reflected in the recent appointment of Ambassador Dane Smith as our Senior Advisor for Darfur. We remain seriously concerned by the violence and humanitarian needs in Darfur, as well as by the lack of accountability.”

19. “We have heard deeply disturbing reports of Sudanese Armed Forces blocking the movement of civilians, then looting and burning the village. These reports deserve the Council's serious attention and effective responses by the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID). The United States wishes to remind all parties, as well as UNAMID and United Nations Headquarters, that UNAMID's Chapter VII mandate authorizes it to carry out its mandated responsibilities with or without the permission of the Government of the Sudan. As we invest billions of dollars and risk peacekeepers' lives, we expect no less. It is more important than ever that all parties avoid inflammatory words and actions that undermine peace and stability and violate international law.”

20. “On the critical issue of citizenship, the United States strongly urges the parties to reach an agreement that is in line with applicable international obligations and does not arbitrarily deprive any individual of citizenship. Let me commend the United Nations for its efforts as it helps the CPA parties to implement the referendum, including by procuring and distributing ballots. We call on the parties to the CPA to cooperate with the United Nations Mission in the Sudan and facilitate full and unfettered freedom of access and movement for all United Nations peacekeepers. Unfortunately, however, this meeting comes at a critical time, one that has been marred by troubling violence. The United States strongly condemns the Government of the Sudan's actions in Khor Abeche, South Darfur.”

21. “We urge the Government of the Sudan and the Government of South Sudan to honour their financial commitments to the Southern Sudan Referendum Commission and the Southern Sudan Referendum Bureau as quickly as possible. This funding is essential to the conduct of the referendum. The parties must also settle other outstanding CPA issues, such as border demarcation and the conduct of popular consultations for Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile states. They must reach agreement on post-CPA issues, including citizenship and the security of minorities and vulnerable populations, such as Northerners in the South and Southerners in the North.”

22. “The effective completion of registration in the Sudan indicates that polling can and must be concluded on schedule. As we have been reminded today, the status of Abyei remains unresolved. The Chair of the African Union's High-level Implementation Panel, President Mbeki, has been working actively with the CPA parties to find a way forward on this important issue. The United States fully supports his efforts. Any resolution regarding the future of the Abyei area must respect the legally affirmed rights of the people of that region, and it must be reached with the consent of both parties. We also face additional upcoming challenges, including the effective conduct of the Southern Sudan referendum itself. We urge both sides to ensure a transparent, safe and unobstructed environment for campaigning and polling.”

23. “I will now make some remarks in my capacity of representative of the United States. Let me join others in thanking Under-Secretary- General Le Roy, Chairman Mkapa, Minister Siddiq and Secretary General Amum for their participation today. In recent months, the Council has shown unprecedented unity in supporting the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). The international community and the members of the Council must continue to speak with one voice on the Sudan or risk creating opportunities for spoilers. With the support of the United Nations and the international community, the referendum registration process has concluded peacefully and credibly. A successful referendum for Southern Sudan on 9 January will be critical to long-term peace and stability in the Sudan. Registration was an important step towards that goal.”

The Security Council reiterates its deep concern about the increases in violence and insecurity in Darfur, including recently in Khor Abeche, such as ceasefire violations, attacks by rebel groups, increased intertribal fighting, attacks on humanitarian personnel and peacekeepers and aerial bombardment by the Government of the Sudan. "The Council recalls the importance it attaches to an end to impunity and to justice for crimes committed in Darfur. The Council reiterates its willingness to consider measures against any party whose actions undermine peace in the Sudan."

"The Council is deeply concerned about the recent military incidents in the Kiir River Valley and the subsequent displacement of civilians, and urges all parties to exercise restraint, avoiding escalation. "The Security Council reaffirms its support for the African Union-United Nations-led peace process for Darfur, hosted by the Government of Qatar.
