Mr. Nebenzia (Russian Federation)
We were unable to support resolution 2467 (2019), submitted by Germany. The Russian Federation firmly condemns sexual violence in armed conflict. We have consistently advocated eradicating that abhorrent war crime. Any type of violence against civilians in wartime is absolutely unacceptable, and sexual abuse is equally unacceptable at any time, not just during armed conflict. In the circumstance…
Mr. Ma Zhaoxu (China)
China attaches great importance to combating sexual violence in conflict and has alwaysfirmly supported the international community in its efforts in that regard. The Chinese delegation participated constructively and responsibly in the consultations on the related draft resolutions, proposing a number of recommendations and amendments. We believe that the Council should address sexual violence …

We welcome the adoption of today’s res…

Ms. Murad
I would like to once again thank the German delegation for having organized this important meeting, as well as the Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms. Pramila Patten.

As a victim myself, I believe that the resolution is a step i…
