S/2017/249 VI. Recommendations I urge the Security Council: (a) To ensure that efforts to prevent violent extremism and counter terrorism reinforce efforts to prevent sexual violence in conflict, including through the work of relevant sanctions committees, such as the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015), noting that any person or entity who transfers funds to Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) directly or indirectly in connection with sexual violence or exploitation would be eligible for listing; (b) To continue to include sexual violence as part of the designation criteria for sanctions, to ensure that dedicated gender and conflict-related sexual violence expertise informs the work of sanctions committees and monitoring entities and to invite my Special Representative to share information with sanctions committees, as appropriate; (c) To continue to address the nexus between trafficking in persons and conflict-related sexual violence, including by terrorist groups, further to resolution 2331 (2016); (d) To support engagement with State and non-State parties to conflict for specific commitments and prevention plans on conflict-related sexual violence, in line with resolutions 1960 (2010), 2106 (2013) and 2331 (2016), and to systematically monitor their compliance; (e) To employ all means at its disposal to influence State and non-State parties to conflict to comply with international law, including by referring matters to the International Criminal Court. Referrals should apply to individuals who commit, command or condone (by failing to prevent or punish) sexual violence; (f) To give due consideration to the risk factors and early-warning signs of sexual violence in its monitoring of conflict situations, especially in relation to periods of rising violent extremism, political instability, elections, civil strife and mass population movements; (g) To use its periodic field visits to focus attention on conflict-related sexual violence concerns, soliciting the views of affected communities and survivors’ associations; (h) To ensure the accelerated deployment of women’s protection advisers in order to facilitate implementation of successive resolutions on sexual violence in conflict, including the new monitoring requirements set out in resolution 2331 (2016), and to support the inclusion of such posts in regular budgets. I encourage Member States and regional organizations: (a) To revise national legal and policy frameworks to ensure that survivors of sexual violence committed by armed and/or terrorist groups are recognized as legitimate victims of conflict and/or terrorism, in order to benef it from reparations and redress; 28/33 17-05090
