  • Statement of the Holy See to the U.N. at the Security Council Open Debate on “Women Peace Security” (15 April 2015)
    N. 0300 Mercoledì 22.04.2015 Statement of the Holy See to the U.N. at the Security Council Open Debate on “Women Peace Security” (15 April 2015) Here below the Statement by H.E. Archbishop Bernardito Auza, Apostolic Nuncio, Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations at the Security Council Open Debate on “Women Peace Security” (New York, 15 April 2015): Statement by H.E. Archbishop Bernardito Auza Madam President, My delegation wishes to express its gratitude for Jordan’s Presidency of the Security Council this month, and for the Open Debate on Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict. We would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his report on conflict-related sexual violence, and commend the work of civil society representatives on this issue. Women are not spared any of the brutal consequences of war, and are additionally subject to uniquely degrading and traumatizing attacks and long-term consequences. It is only just and reasonable that their voice should be present and influential in the work of preventing and resolving violence and war. Madam President, It is well documented that sexual violence of many kinds accompanies modern warfare. We all know the awful litany: women are raped and trafficked, forced into prostitution to earn a living, terrorized individually and in their roles as protectors of their children and other vulnerable family members. All violence against human life is terrible, but sexual violence is designed to debase, dehumanize, demoralize – in a unique way. The consequences are profound and long lasting – physical as well as psychological.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The audio recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Bishop John S.
