Implementation

States should also be helped to implement resolution 1325 (2000) and other subsequent resolutions, including 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009), 1960 (2010) and 2106 (2013), to counter violence at all levels and across all segments of society. We need to ensure accountability for all cases of sexual violence in conflict and bring an end to impunity. States need to work with Security Council sanctions committees, which should include sexual violence as a designated criterion for sanctions and the freezing of assets and finances of organized networks. Information sharing should take place not only across committees, but also across countries.

This scourge therefore requires cross-national interventions. All efforts of UN Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict, with UN-Women as the lead agency, require coordination with regional and subregional structures. These must be coordinated with international organizations, especially the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime as well as Interpol, and parliamentary religious leaders, non-governmental organizations and civil society. The object is not only to identify and monitor such abuse, but to take action against perpetrators, change extremist narratives, promote education at all levels, and create awareness around the empowerment of women.

Kazakhstan calls on all to abide by the international principles of the rule of law and human rights and to fully implement the relevant Security Council resolutions.
