lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too am going to speak about this extremely sensitive issue, which has been addressed very intelligently and very thoroughly by Mrs De Keyser. I too will focus on three fundamental points that were highlighted in the report and which I would like to emphasise here. The first point concerns the age-old evil of sexual violence at times of war. I believe there can only be one modern response to this age-old evil (we are all familiar with it and I shall not mention it again now): in a word, zero tolerance on the part of any society that considers itself a democracy, like our own. The second point: zero tolerance means many things, including clamping down by punishing these crimes and not accepting excuses of any kind. The second point, in contrast, is more recent, and is the fact that women themselves are committing acts of violence. They may be doing that, again, partly as victims, as in the case of women suicide bombers, who once again are often being used, but it has to be recognised that there are cases where women, in the name of equality, have used violence just like anyone else. Here too, in such cases there should be no gender tolerance, so to speak. There is a third fact that concerns me even more and which I should like to highlight more emphatically: their role is so important that there is even talk of quotas for women in all political and administrative spheres connected with matters of war. I should like to see them sitting at all tables where peace and reconstruction are discussed. I think that the presence of women in this area is what our world can offer in terms of modernity and democracy: a really new, contemporary contribution."@en1
