Sexual violence in conflict becomes more serious in the face of Covid-19.

Conflict-related sexual violence became thorny at an open debate of the UN Security Council (UNSC) on April 14 as all participants took it a critical opportunity to take stock of the issue in order to eradicate the scourge of it.

The open debate, which was hosted by Vietnam, the UNSC President for the month of April, drew attention to the chronic underreporting of wartime sexual violence, especially at a time being compounded by Covid-19 containment measures.

The participants thanked Vietnam for keeping this important topic on the agenda of the Council.

Ambassador Dang Dinh Quy, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the United Nations said the victims should be assisted to access psychological, medical, training and legal services, integrate into the community and seek livelihood sources.

He emphasized the need to take a comprehensive approach to the problem, noting the prevention and full and equal participation of women in decision-making and peace processes, much-needed development assistance, capacity-building, technical support and training.

Meanwhile, UN Under-Secretary-General Pramila Patten, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, stressed the need of prevention, saying that “prevention is the best and only cure” to stem the multiple, devastating and enduring consequences faced by survivors of sexual violence in conflict, especially as a brutal tactic of war.

Citing over 2,500 UN-verified cases of conflict-related sexual violence in 18 countries last year alone, Patten said there was a “chasm between resolutions and reality”.

She mentioned the long litany of battles fought on the bodies of women and girls in Bosnia, Rwanda, Iraq, Syria and other places to remind others of what they did to honor their commitments to solving the problem.

The Delegation of the EU to UN said they owe this to all victims and survivors of conflict-related sexual violence who expect us to move urgently from commitments to action.

This thorny issue was mentioned one year ago by the UN Secretary General who called for a cessation of violence both on battlefields and in homes.

The UN latest report shows that sexual and gender-based violence has spiked globally during the Covid-19 crisis and that conflict-related sexual violence remains a cruel and rampant tactic of war, torture, terror, and political repression.

Representatives of the countries in the Council expressed concerns about the persisting threat and occurrence of sexual violence in conflict in many countries and called on the international community to do more and better to prevent these crimes and human rights violations, stop impunity and support the survivors and their families including children born out of rape.

Hanoi polytechnic lecturer has contributed to the Italian research on the fields by writing many articles published in prestigious specialized journals.

Associate Professor Ta Hai Tung, a lecturer at the Hanoi University of Science and Technology, has received the Italian Order of the Star, the noblest title bestowed on non-Italians for promoting sci-tech connections between Vietnam and Italy.

Italian Ambassador Antonio Alessandro on April 14 awarded the order of merit to Tung, head of the International Research Institute for Multimedia, Information, Communication and Applications (MICA) under the Hanoi University of Science and Technology.

The order, granted by Italian President Sergio Mattarella, is the noblest and most important reward, recognizing the contributions of non-Italian to the relations between Italy and other countries, Ambassador Antonio said.

He added that Tung obtained his master from the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy before securing his PhD in Electronics and Telecommunications from the school in 2010.

Tung made continuous efforts during his master’s studies in “Positioning and related applications” and his doctorate’s research in Electronics and Telecommunication, the ambassador noted.

“Tung has also contributed to the Italian research on the fields by writing many articles published in prestigious specialized journals,” said the ambassador.

Tung was director of the International Collaboration Center for Research and Development on Satellite Navigation Technology in South East Asia (NAVIS) from 2011 to 2018. NAVIS is an international center specializing in studying and applying satellite navigation technologies.

Under Tung’s leadership, NAVIS center soon became an excellent research institute in Vietnam and Southeast Asia in the field of global satellite positioning.

Tung has contributed greatly to positioning technology transfer in Vietnam, focusing on the European Galileo technology promotion and the cooperation with leading Italian companies in this field.

Tung was also the Co-Chairman of the Asian Positioning Organization – the largest satellite-based positioning organization in Asia and Oceania (from 2016 to 2019). He was awarded the Golden Globe Awards in 2013 by the Central Youth Union and the Ministry of Science and Technology.

“We highly value Tung’s contributions in promoting international cooperation in science. It is a base to promote sustainable development and improve life quality in Vietnam and in any country that Tung has cooperation projects with,” said Ambassador Alessandro.

For his part, Tung said living, studying and working in Italy gave him the opportunity to appreciate and promote cooperation between the two countries in many fields, especially culture and education.

“When returning to Vietnam, my partners and I have done our best to promote cooperation between the two nations in high-level scientific research and training for mutual benefit,” Tung said.
