G8 accord to end sexual violence in conflict zones

Foreign Ministers of the world’s eight most advanced countries (G8) adopted a “historic” declaration committing the international community to tackle sexual violence in conflict zones.

The agreement, reached on the sidelines of discussions on North Korea and Syria ahead of the summit of G8 leaders in June, was hailed by Foreign Secretary William Hague as a “turning point” in the campaign against “war zone rape”.
