"Madam President, war crimes such as mass rape, sex slavery or sterilisation are among the worst forms of humiliation. What is more, in Congo the victims of such crimes will be excluded from society for the rest of their lives.
It is alarming that the offenders from paramilitary groups and the armed forces are mostly not punished at all. The mandate of the UN blue helmets needs to be extended for another year, but what is also necessary is for the troops of the United Nations Organisation Stabilisation Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) to start providing genuine protection for civilians, for President Kabila to announce a policy of zero tolerance for rape and for impartial investigations into such crimes to begin.
The authorities in Congo must have a programme for the reintegration of victims into society. The Commission ought to release funding for refuges, but it should also propose legislation which imposes labelling requirements on products containing minerals whose extraction is fuelling violence in the Kivu region."@en1
