Amal Clooney listens during a Security Council meeting on sexual violence at United Nations headquarters, Tuesday, April 23, 2019. Human rights lawyer Amal Clooney on Tuesday demanded justice for victims of an "epidemic of sexual violence" in conflicts, especially rapes and other abuses perpetrated by Islamic State extremists in Iraq and Syria.
But the resolution adopted by the council after they spoke was watered down to win approval, and while it made some advances it failed to take the significant actions they urged. "We are worried that the threat of veto was used to question 25 years of advances in this area," Delattre said. "It is intolerable and incomprehensible that the Security Council is incapable of acknowledging that these women and girls who suffer from sexual violence in conflict, and who obviously didn't choose to become pregnant, should have the rights to terminate their pregnancy.
German Ambassador Christoph Heusgen said the resolution his nation introduced makes "considerable progress" by concentrating on accountability and survivors and by "putting sanctions much more in the centre of actions."Heusgen said Amal Clooney and the two Nobel laureates told him to "push ahead" with the resolution without a reference to "sexual and reproductive rights.
So the ongoing conscious & proactive betrayal of American women is not enough for Trump’s mysogynists? They seek to impose this misogyny & interference in women’s health & reproductive rights globally! Their stance is disgusting, revolting, heartless & sick! EPIC FAIL U.N.!
Yeah because all those other atrocities like torture and beheadings aren’t really that important. Maybe Prosecute all those psychos who funded those head chopping goat fuckers, you can start with Obama and Hillary.
