Security Council Open Debate on Sexual Violence in Conflict, April 2018: Czech Republic (Extract 1)

Extract: 

We should step up our effort to put an end to the atmosphere of impunity. Initiatives on high political level should be translated to concrete actions to ensure the accountability concept is fully implemented on the ground [...] In terms of enforcing accountability, the Czech Republic continues to support the International Criminal Court and ad hoc international tribunals.

Security Council Open Debate on Sexual Violence in Conflict, April 2018: Czech Republic (Extract 2)

Extract: 

We believe that the culture of violence relates to socioeconomic factors and occurs where various groups are marginalized. The Czech Republic therefore addresses the root causes of the inequalities in societies by implementing projects aimed at the economic empowerment of women and their equal participation in public and political affairs. Such projects are implemented in Georgia, Zambia, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
