Direct Link to Full 32-Page March
2013 Report:
The present report, which covers
the period from December 2011 to December 2012, is submitted pursuant to
paragraph 18 of Security Council resolution 1960 (2010), by which the Council
requested me as UN Secretary-General, to submit annual reports on the
implementation of resolutions 1820 (2008) and 1888 (2009), and to recommend
appropriate actions. The report also responds to the requests made by the
Security Council in its presidential statement S/PRST/2012/23. The report
presents information on parties to conflict credibly suspected of committing or
being responsible for acts of rape and other forms of sexual violence. It
highlights actions taken and challenges faced by States in conflict and
post-conflict situations to protect women, men and children from sexual
violence; the implementation of the monitoring, analysis and reporting
arrangements; the deployment of women’s protection advisers; the engagement
undertaken by the United Nations Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual
Violence in Conflict; the efforts of the United Nations system; and
recommendations to strengthen efforts to combat this egregious crime. The
report should be read in conjunction with the previous report on the same topic
(A/66/657-S/2012/33).
