"Madam President, I share the sentiments of those who condemn the crimes committed in the South Kivu province and the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. According to local sources, roughly 40 rapes are committed every day, with the perpetrators often being members of the army or armed groups. At the moment, there is a lack of medical, social and legal assistance for victims, while the perpetrators of the crimes remain uninvestigated and unpunished. Protection must be provided to the 170 victims and to those who can testify so that an urgent, independent and impartial inquiry can be conducted in order to punish the perpetrators of these acts of violence in June.
We insist that this state and culture of impunity must end. I call on the Commission to urgently release additional funds for combating sexual violence and granting victim support. Financial pressure from the European Union must be used for this reason."@en1
