United Nations Security Council resolution 798, adopted unanimously on 18 December 1992, after reaffirming 770 (1992) and 771 (1992) and supporting an initiative by the European Council.The Council condemned reports of the massive, organized and systematic detention and rape of women, in particular Muslim women, in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War.

The Council further demanded all detention camps be closed, requesting the Secretary-General to provide support to enable the European Community delegations to have free and secure access to the places of detention, further requesting a report within 15 days of the passing of the current resolution.

Resolution 798 was the first time the United Nations had condemned the rape of women in wartime.
