"Mr President, according to the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, every year, there are 15 000 rapes in the Congo, the majority of which are used as a weapon of war against women and girls. Since July of this year, more than 500 rapes have been recorded and the United Nations has not taken sufficient action. The organisation has accepted partial responsibility for failing to protect the public.
As you have acknowledged today, Operation Monusco is not working. I want to ask you whether we have data explaining why it is not working. We must ask for responsibility to be taken for this and for new action to be taken.
Europe needs to work, through cooperation and international pressure, to ensure that there cannot be impunity in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the country acts firmly in response to such barbarity.
I would be grateful if you would answer the question that I have asked: do we know why the United Nations operations are not working? What are we going to do now?"@en1
