I thank foreign secretary Haag for the United Kingdoms leadership, and Zaynin Bagora for her important and extraordinary work. The Security Council was established 67 years ago, and has witnessed 67 years of wars and conflict. But the world has yet to take up war zone rape as a serious priority. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of women, children and men have been raped in conflicts in our lifetimes The numbers are so vast, and the subject so painful that we often have to stop, to remember that behind each number, is someone with a name, personality, a story, and dreams no different from ours, and those of our children. Let us be clear, what we're speaking of. Young girls raped and impregnated before their bodies are able to carry a child, causing fistula. Boys held at gunpoint and forced to sexually assault their mothers and sisters. Women raped with bottles, wood branches and knives to cause as much damage as possible. Toddlers, even babies, dragged from their homes and violated. I will never forget the survivors I've met, or what they told me. The mother in Goma whose five- year- old daughter had been raped outside a police station in plain view. Or the Syrian woman I met in Jordan last week who asked I hide her name and face because she knew that if she spoke out against the crimes, against her she would be attacked and possibly killed. Rape is a tool of war. It is an act of aggression and a crime against humanity. It is inflicted intentionally to destroy the women, the family, and the community. It ruins lives and fuels conflict. The United Nations charter is clear. You the security council. Have primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. Rape, as a weapon of war, is an assault on security. And a world in which these crimes happen is one in which there is not, and never will be, peace. Addressing wars on, wars on sexual violence is therefore your responsibility, as well as the duty of governments in countries afflicted by it. In fact, the truth is, in many conflict situations, there is no government to take responsibility. So, there is no protection and no accountability. When governments cannot act, the UN Security Council must step in and provide leadership and assistance. For these crimes to happen, not because they are inherent to war, but because the global climate allows it. That five- year- old girl was raped because her attacker knew that he would get away with it. And because the world has not treated this as a priority, there have only been a handful of prosecutions for many hundreds of thousands of survivors. They suffer most at the hands of their rapist but they are also victims of a culture of impunity. That is the sad upsetting and indeed shameful reality I understand that there are many things that are difficult for you and the security council to agree on, but sexual violence in conflict should not be one of them. That it is a crime to rape young children is not something I imagine anyone in this room would not be able to agree on. The rights and wrongs of this issue are straightforward and the actions that need to be taken have been identified. What is needed is political will and that is what is being asked of your countries today, to act on the knowledge of what is right and what is unjust. And to show the determination to do something about it. Every country in the world is affected by sexual violence in one form or another. From domestic abuse to female genital mutilation. So all countries have a responsiblity to step forward, but the starting point must be you, the U. N Security Council. Shouldering your responsibilities and showing leadership. To women in refugee camps or those struggling to survive in war torn communities, there is no greater power in the world that can stand by them. That young Syrian rape victim is here because you represent her. That five year old child in the Congo must count because you represent her. And in her eyes, if her attacker gets away with his crimes, it is because you have allowed it. You set the bar. If the United Nations Security Council sets rape and sex violence in conflict as a priority. It will become one. And progress will be made. If you do not, this horror will continue. I thank and encourage those countries that already setting a powerful example. And my plea to all of you is to adopt and implement the resolution before you so that the perpetrators are finally held to account and survivors can at last feel on safer ground. And please, do not let this issue fall when you leave this chamber. Meet your commitments. Debate this issue in your parliament, mobilize people in your countries, and build it into all of your foreign policy efforts. So that together you can turn the tide of global opinion, shatter impunity, and finally put an end to this abhorrence. Thank you. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Angelina Jolie Addresses the U.N","description":"Angelina Jolie Addresses the U.N","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/zSzalZJb/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-04-24T17:08:39.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/zSzalZJb.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/zSzalZJb/","duration":"PT6M18S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/zSzalZJb/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
