Madam Speaker, I believe you would find the unanimous consent of the House for the following motion:
That the House, with regard to the Democratic Republic of the Congo:
(a) condemn the violence and abuses committed against hundreds of innocent civilians;
(b) condemn gender-based sexual violence, especially against women and girls;
(c) recognize that this violence is the deadliest since the Second World War, with at least six million people since 1996 having been killed, and that hundreds of thousands of people are reported to have been systematically subjected to gender-based sexual violence; and
(d) call on the government to (i) closely monitor the situation in that country, (ii) play a leading role in mobilizing the international community so that repeated human rights violations and abuses end and threatened populations are protected, (iii) encourage the International Criminal Court to continue its work in the formal investigation of the killings in that country.
