Campaigners against rape in war have gathered in London in an attempt to bring those responsible for 220 million sex crimes every year to justice, SIA reports quoting the Sky news.
Actress Angelina Jolie is co-hosting the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict with Foreign Secretary William Hague.
It is the largest ever gathering of its kind, with more than 140 countries taking part.
The aim is to make sexual violence in war zones as unacceptable as chemical weapons and cluster munitions.
As she arrived for the summit this morning, to a bank of photographers, reporters and broadcasters, Jolie, 39, said she was "so, so happy to be here".
Every year, 150 million girls and women are raped in conflict around the world, along with 70 million men and boys, and the overwhelming majority of them never get justice.
Some 144 world governments have now endorsed the declaration.
The London Summit wants to seize that momentum and turn it into practical action to prevent rape and help victims.
