CYPRadar 🇨🇾⚔️ Cyprus urges stronger global action to support survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and end impunity
Cyprus has called for intensified international efforts to support survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and ensure accountability for perpetrators. Addressing the United Nations Security Council, Cyprus’ permanent representative to the UN, Maria Michael, highlighted the lasting trauma caused by sexual violence during the 1974 Turkish invasion, noting the pain remains an ongoing wound for Cypriot society.
Michael emphasized that conflict-related sexual violence is used as a tactic of war and political repression, often amounting to war crimes or crimes against humanity. She outlined three priorities for the global community: centering survivors in all responses, ending impunity, and ensuring full and meaningful participation of women in peace and security processes. Cyprus is also advancing its national action plan aligned with UN Security Council resolutions on women, peace, and security.
Urging concrete action beyond declarations, Cyprus stresses the necessity of legal accountability, adequate support for survivors, and the protection of women-led organizations engaged in prevention and recovery efforts. Cyprus reaffirmed its commitment to collaborate internationally to eradicate conflict-related sexual violence and promote sustainable peace through gender-sensitive approaches.
