"Firstly, I want to thank the Council for its answer. Unfortunately it contained very little on the issue of the situation of women in Iraq. Yesterday I was in the position to hear directly from Baghdad a UNICEF representative saying that the Shia have taken over Sadr City, and that means difficulties for women. Mrs Elisabeth Rehn, my predecessor here in Parliament, wrote a very influential report dealing with the situation of women in both war and peace. She pointed out that it will be more difficult for women when there is peace. Unfortunately, especially in Afghanistan, we have a situation where women cannot be sure that they will not be raped. This is a problem in western Afghanistan. Please, Council, what actions are you taking in the light of Mrs Rehn's work? She proposed several actions, including the suggestion that peacekeepers should be very well informed about the rights of women. As for the situation in Iraq, is there any way you could intervene?"@en1
