S/RES/2106 (2013)
(a) disarmament, demobilization and reintegration processes, including, inter
alia, by establishing protection mechanisms for women and children in cantonment
sites, as well as for civilians in close proximity of cantonment sites and in
communities of return, and by offering trauma and reintegration support to women
and children formerly associated with armed groups, as well as ex-combatants;
(b) security sector reform processes and arrangements, including through the
provision of adequate training for security personnel, encouraging the inclusion of
more women in the security sector and effective vetting processes in order to
exclude from the security sector those who have perpetrated or are responsible for
acts of sexual violence;
(c) justice sector reform initiatives, including through legislative and policy
reforms that address sexual violence; training in sexual and gender-based violence
of justice and security sector professionals and the inclusion of more women at
professional levels in these sectors; and judicial proceedings that take into account
the distinct needs and protection of witnesses as well as survivors of sexual violence
in armed conflict and post-conflict situations, and their family members;
17. Recognizes that women who have been forcefully abducted into armed
groups and armed forces, as well as children, are especially vulnerable to sexual
violence in armed conflict and post-conflict situations and as such demands that
parties to armed conflict immediately identify and release such persons from their
ranks;
18. Encourages concerned Member States to draw upon the expertise of the
United Nations Team of Experts established pursuant to resolution 1888 (2009) as
appropriate to strengthen the rule of law and the capacity of civilian and military
justice systems to address sexual violence in armed conflict and post-conflict
situations as part of broader efforts to strengthen institutional safeguards against
impunity;
19. Recognizing the importance of providing timely assistance to survivors
of sexual violence, urges United Nations entities and donors to provide
non-discriminatory and comprehensive health services, including sexual and
reproductive health, psychosocial, legal, and livelihood support and other
multi-sectoral services for survivors of sexual violence, taking into account the
specific needs of persons with disabilities; calls for support to national institutions
and local civil society networks in increasing resources and strengthening capacities
to provide the abovementioned services to survivors of sexual violence; encourages
Member States and donors to support national and international programs that assist
victims of sexual violence such as the Trust Fund for Victims established by the
Rome Statute and its implementing partners; and requests the relevant United
Nations entities to increase allocation of resources for the coordination of genderbased violence response and service provision;
20. Notes the link between sexual violence in armed conflict and post-conflict
situations and HIV infection, and the disproportionate burden of HIV and AIDS on
women and girls as a persistent obstacle and challenge to gender equality; and urges
United Nations entities, Member States and donors to support the development and
strengthening of capacities of national health systems and civil society networks in
order to provide sustainable assistance to women and girls living with or affected by
HIV and AIDS in armed conflict and post-conflict situations;
