DEFENCE FOR CHILDREN SOMALIA

Problems to Address

Somalia suffered a human rights crisis during the past decades characterized by serious of violations against human rights and humanitarian law. The protection of civilians in the context of the armed conflict, combined with impunity and lack of accountability, has been of major concern.The lack of rule of law and the climate of insecurity has created an environment in which certain categories of professionals, such as journalists and judges, were targeted for extrajudicial killings. An entire generation has grown up without access to education and the country as a whole suffers from a lack of knowledge about human rights, women and children’s rights were routinely violated.
