I would also like to commend the Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual Violence in Conflict for its valuable work. Acting in close partnership with all relevant stakeholders, including national judicial and security institutions, international and regional organizations, humanitarian agencies, civil society and the private sector, the United Nations should continue its technical assistance to countries suffering from conflict. International justice mechanisms are essential, especially when sexual violence is used as a war tactic in the form of systematic rape and forced pregnancies. In addition, especially in post-conflict set-ups, their work complements that of national systems in the fight against the culture of impunity.
