Firstly, may I begin by thanking you, Special Representative Pramila Patten, for your ongoing work in this area. You have led this agenda with conviction, with courage and principle. I have had the honour to work with you directly, and we continue to recognize the important work of the United Nations in this respect. Thank you also to our incredible briefers. Thank you to Ms Naw Hser Hser and Nadine to you for your briefing today. And if I may, Your Excellencies, just to put into context, when we hear from survivors at the UN Security Council, and I want you to think about this very, very carefully, they have been through the most abhorrent violation of their person - unimaginable in every sense.
