2023 - First part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 1, insert the following paragraph:

"The aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine led to mass conflict-related sexual violence committed by the Russian Federation’s armed forces and by affiliated armed groups against the civilian population of Ukraine and Ukrainian prisoners of war: in 11 months of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine, according to the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine, 155 cases of conflict-related sexual violence have been recorded in Kyiv, Kherson, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, and Mykolaiv regions. The officially stated number of cases does not reflect the scale of crimes of the Russian Federation, which are much larger."
