"I believe that special attention should be devoted to the gender dimension in societies which are experiencing or emerging from conflict situations: since society consists of both men and women, the well-being of all of its members must be taken into consideration in the restoration or reconstruction of states. To ensure that post-war society is not designed predominantly by men, for the benefit of men and with a solely male ethos, and to ensure that the nascent social order does not perpetuate gender stereotypes, women must increasingly be involved in the regulation of military situations as negotiators, peacekeepers, higher-level military officials and other opinion leaders. In addition to increasing the participation of women in international teams, I also support the measures listed in Norica Nicolai’s report on women’s situation in war to ensure the safety of women as defenceless parties in military situations. A third but no less important point I would like to emphasise is the importance of dealing with the cases of rape perpetrated during war or their prevention; this is not merely a question of physical violence, but also of the lifelong ruinous effect of rape on the female psyche and health and on family relations. The level of severity of rape perpetrated during war must also be emphasised in the subsequent prosecution and punishment of the perpetrators of such crimes."@en1
