"We are constantly hearing stories of wartime human rights violations, which the available details almost always give Machiavellian features; for example, there are 16 rapes per day in the Congo conflict. Their weakness means women and children are amongst the main victims. Girls and women are often repeatedly raped in front of their impotent family members, which is hugely traumatic for husbands and sons, in addition to the physical and psychological consequences for the victims. It is, therefore, of the greatest urgency to adopt a code of conduct to be applied in war zones and refugee camps. Moreover, it is crucial that the perpetrators of such war crimes be arrested and brought to trial, so that they do not go unpunished. I am voting for this report, drafted by Ms Nicolai, which advocates protecting women from any form of violence, as well as their increased participation in military negotiation processes, which currently stands at less than 10%, since their presence is essential in dialogue with other women in conflict situations. The EU cannot lose this opportunity to put this problem on the foreign policy agenda."@en1
