THE GREATEST SILENCE:
RAPE IN THE CONGO
LEADS TO U.N. RESOLUTION
On June 19, 2008, the U.N. Security Council unanimously voted in
favor of a resolution classifying rape as a weapon of war. U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad
was inspired to introduce the resolution after viewing THE GREATEST SILENCE: RAPE IN THE CONGO.
“The documentary made loud and clear what’s going on. The Ambassador immediately wanted to
know more about the issue and how we can do more,” said Tracy Lavin, an advisor in the Office
of Political Affairs at the U.S. Mission to the U.N., in an interview with PRI’s The World.
