UNITED NATIONS, April 17 (Reuters) - In her first seven months
as U.N. envoy on sexual violence in conflict, Zainab Hawa
Bangura has visited a Congolese district where rebels raped
babies, and Somalia where a woman was paid $150 restitution for
the rape of her 4-year-old daughter.
She met a refugee at a camp in Kenya who had been raped at
gunpoint when she was eight-months-pregnant while gathering
firewood and a Somali father who was fighting for justice for
his daughters, aged 4 and 6, who had both been raped.
"The stories are horrific and heartbreaking and when these
survivors tell you what they endured, and continue to endure,
you know that one person raped in war is one too many," said
Bangura, who briefed the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday.
She told the 15-member council it was still largely "cost-free"
to rape a woman, child or man in conflict and that this must be
reversed to make it a "massive liability to commit, command or
condone sexual violence in conflict."
Any future peace and ceasefire deals in conflicts like Syria and
Mali must include sexual violence prevention, Bangura said.
Bangura, a former health minister of Sierra Leone, said she
plans to visit Syria, Mali and South Sudan as soon as possible.
"I visited a community where last year 11 babies, between 6 and
12 months old, were raped by elements of Mai Mai Morgan," she
said, referring to a rebel group in the Democratic Republic of
Congo. "It is unimaginable that anyone could have committed such
an atrocity."
Bangura also told reporters that in the same community - the
Ituri district in turbulent eastern Congo on its border with
Uganda - 59 children aged between 1 and 3, and 182 children
between 5 and 15 years old had been raped last year.
"Under the cold light of strategy and tactics, the rationale and
purpose is clear. What more effective way can there be to
destroy a community than to target and devastate its children?"
she told the Security Council.
WAR'S 'LEAST CONDEMNED CRIME'
Bangura said Congolese President Joseph Kabila had pledged to
prosecute crimes of sexual violence more effectively and that
the country's parliament had said it would establish a working
group on the issue.
A written report to the Security Council from U.N. Secretary-
General Ban Ki-moon, based on Bangura's work, named 14 armed
groups along with the Congolese army and police that it said
used sexual violence in conflict.
The report also lists groups in Central African Republic and
groups and government forces in Ivory Coast, Syria and Mali.
Since January 2012, there have been 211 cases of sexual violence
reported in Mali, including rape, sexual slavery, forced
marriage and gang rape, according to the report.
"The majority of women and girls refused to report for fear of
retribution and banishment by their spouses and the community,"
Ban's report said. "In rebel-controlled zones, rape was used as
a tactic of war."
Bangura told reporters the insecurity and lack of access in
Syria meant it was hard to determine the scale of the problem.
Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin and Syrian U.N.
Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari criticized the report for not
reporting accusations of sexual violence by opposition groups
during Syria's two-year-old civil war.
"Responsibility for sexual crimes in Syria is placed only on
government forces and their supporters. Similar crimes committed
by the opposition are only obliquely referenced in spite of the
presence of many such claims of them," Churkin told the council.
Bangura described sexual violence in conflict as "war's oldest
and least condemned crime."
"Sexual violence has been used throughout the ages because it's
such a cheap and devastating weapon," she told the Security
Council. "The perpetrators must understand that there can be no
hiding place, no amnesty, no safe harbour."
