It is noted that more than half of the documented cases concern men – mainly those who were tortured in captivity in the occupied territory or in the Russian Federation.
The mission emphasized that conflict-related sexual violence is a violation of international human rights, humanitarian and criminal law.
Preventing this kind of violence and bringing the perpetrators to justice is a joint responsibility based on the obligations of states in the field of human rights.
