Vision-setting report 2016, para. 59
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In the view of the Special Rapporteur, the involvement of security organs, including those in peacekeeping operations, and the police in combating violence against women and girls is extremely important. Security organs are the first respondents in cases of violence, and have a key role to play in prevention, the prosecution of perpetrators and the protection of women survivors of violence. The goals attained and the challenges encountered in the implementation of the Kigali Declaration could be used as good practices for the formulation of a global code of conduct for police forces.
