Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association is following the report of the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, on conflict-related sexual violence, which included the listing of the occupying power, "Israel," on the UN blacklist of states and entities responsible for committing grave violations involving sexual violence in the context of armed conflicts. While Addameer views this step as a belated acknowledgment of part of the crimes and violations committed by Israeli occupation forces against Palestinians, it emphasizes that this measure, despite its importance, cannot substitute for genuine accountability, effective prosecution, the imposition of deterrent international sanctions, and an end to the culture of impunity that the occupying power has enjoyed for decades.
