Shared Commitments holders on Women, Peace and Security - Security Council Media Stakeout

Good morning.
In deference to multilingualism, I will read this statement first in English and then in Spanish.
The Security Council signatories of the shared commitments on women, peace and security, namely Colombia, Denmark, France, Greece, Latvia, Liberia, the United Kingdom, and my own country, Panama.
On the occasion of the Security Council's open debate on conflict related sexual violence, commend the work of the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, miss Pramila Patten, and reaffirm our full support for her mandate.
Despite several financial constraints across the United Nations, the office must have the resources required to deliver timely and reliable information to the council.
The Secretary-General 2026 report highlights a sharp increase in conflict related sexual violence with UN verified cases more than doubling since the last reporting period.
Women and girls represented 88% of victims, reflecting the disproportionate impact of these crimes.
We are particularly concerned by the growing risk faced by displaced women and girls.
Conflict related sexual violence continues to terrorize communities, drive displacement, and undermine peace and security.
We unequivocally condemn all violations of international humanitarian law and of the human rights of all women and girls, including the use of conflict related sexual violence by both state and non state actors.
These crimes persist where justice is denied and victims are silenced by stigma, trauma, and fear of reprisals.
Conflict displaced conflict, displacement, economic hardship, and institutional collapse leave survivors without protection, justice, or lifesaving care.
We call for an end to impunity and for accountability to become the norm, including through support for evidence preservation and documentation.
We support national and international courts and tribunals in this regard.
We stress the urgent need for survivor centered responses, including access to sexual and reproductive health services and for stronger national capacities.
We call on all parties to armed conflict to immediately cease all acts of sexual violence.
We urge coordinated action to protect health infrastructure, support women led organizations, and deploy gender advisors and women's protection advisors.
Finally, we reaffirm that the right of all women and their full, equal, meaningful and safe participation remain essential to international peace, peace and security.

Why do you think that it will change now? Because I think it's important to insist in what we have been saying.
It's in the will of the parties in conflict to respect or not, but I think that the Security Council should always insist on respect for international law, international humanitarian law, and the charter.
And in this particular case, the right of women to be protected during conflicts.
So I think it's important to keep insisting.
This is no different from other issues that the Security Council keeps insisting on even if they do not seem to have an immediate effect.
Thank you.
That's
