Somalia: A ten human rights agenda for the new government

This public statement is to urge President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and his new administration to address many of the Somalia’s outstanding human rights challenges, with

international support. The new government has already presented goals and activities across six

pillars, including security, justice, reconciliation, economic and social development, among others.

While some of these pillars could address some human rights concerns in the country, more

commitment is required from the new government to improve and prioritize human rights and

ensure accountability for violations and abuses and protection of civilians.
