Alan C. Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Angelina Jolie Speaks Out Against Rape in War Movie star and director Angelina Jolie urged a Japanese audience Monday to join her fight to stop sexual violence in war zones. Jolie said she hoped "In the Land of Blood and Honey," her first film as writer and director, would inspire viewers to think about rape in war. In April, the Group of Eight leaders agreed to work to end rape and sexual violence in conflict and the United Nations Security Council adopted text urging sanctions against perpetrators of sexual violence during armed conflict. "This is just a beginning," she said. "Our aim must be to shatter impunity, so that rape can no longer be used as a weapon of war anywhere in the world as it was in Bosnia, and as it is today from Congo to Syria." Jolie, who serves as special envoy for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees... Don't commit rape when you're bombing and killing people. That would be wrong. Incidentally, search online for "united nations sex scandal" and see what you find.
tasmlab Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Wow, that's a courageous moral point of view to throw out their, Ms. Jolie. I wouldn't want to be part of the wave of insult and controversy headed her way. /derp
