It is about freaking time

Finally, UN Security Council recognized rape/sexual violence as an instrument of war and a threat to international security. While I am happy to see this issue is being recognized for what it is, why did this take so long? How many centuries has raping women and girls (and sometimes men and boys) been part of showing control and domination of one group over another? Let's look at the past 20 years (and I am not even being complete in this list): the conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the early 1990s, Rwanda, eastern Congo, Darfur, Kosovo...well, let's see if the crisis of implementation is true for this UN Security Council Resolution. Actions speak louder than words.
