Event Summary

India strongly condemned conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) at a UN Security Council open debate on July 9, 2026. India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Harish B, described CRSV as a tool used for war, terrorism, torture, and political repression. He cited a UN Secretary-General's report showing a sharp increase in verified cases in 2025 and called for collective action. Harish highlighted India's peacekeeping contributions, including the first all-women police unit deployed to Liberia in 2007, and announced that Indian peacekeepers Major Moiz Yassin and Major Sonia Devendra Navaskar will receive the 2026 UN Secretary-General's Military Gender Advocate of the Year Recognition Certificate for their work in preventing CRSV within the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).
