A/HRC/15/48 102. The stand–alone interactive dialogue scheduled to take place at the fifteenth session of the Human Rights Council offers an important opportunity for the United Nations and the international community to have an in–depth discussion on the situation in Somalia and to identify additional measures to deal with the humanitarian crisis there. As argued in this report, despite the gruesome killings and relentless violence that continue to characterize the situation in Somalia today, important progress appears to have been made in a number of areas of which advantage must be taken and built upon. The desired results may not be obtained in the short term. A longer period will be required. Until that time, the international community must renew its commitment to the people of Somalia and redouble its efforts to bring their seemingly unending nightmare to an end sooner rather than later. 21
