Saudi UN envoy calls for accountability on sexual violence in war, condemns violations in Palestine
NEW YORK: Saudi Arabia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Abdulaziz Alwasil, told the Security Council on Wednesday that sexual violence continues to be used in armed conflicts as a weapon of oppression, intimidation, and forced displacement, targeting civilians, particularly women and children. Addressing a high-level Council meeting on conflict-related sexual violence and the Women, Peace and Security agenda, Alwasil said such acts constitute serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law.
