A/HRC/15/48 possible to meet the deadline fully, the process should be set in motion in all earnest. It will be a tremendous psychological booster for the beleaguered Somali population. 89. Following the recent suicide bombings in Kampala, the situation of Somali refugees in Uganda has become more precarious. UNHCR/Uganda must give special attention to the particularly difficult reality facing Somalis in Uganda today. UNHCR and OHCHR should consider developing a cooperative mechanism to deal with human rights problems of refugees and others in similar situation whether in Uganda or elsewhere. Particular attention in this regard must be given to the protection of human rights defenders who were forced to flee their country. 90. The United Nations must give special attention to involving the Presidents of Somaliland and Puntland in the Somalia peace process. The commitment made by the new Special Representative in this regard is most reassuring. Particular attention must also be given to the security concerns of these two states. Strong, stable and prosperous Somaliland and Puntland could serve as beacons of hope for the rest of Somalia. For AMISOM 91. While the expert recognizes that its troops have to serve under most difficult circumstances in Somalia, particularly when their opponents do not always respect the basic principles of humanitarian law, he emphasizes that AMISOM must nevertheless do everything possible to ensure that its troops respect those principles fully and take due care to avoid civilian casualties. In this respect, it should consider providing its troops with proper equipment that would help minimize the risk of civilian casualties. 92. The African Union and AMISOM should establish an investigation mechanism to conduct prompt, independent and impartial investigations into all allegations of violations of international humanitarian law by AMISOM personnel, including allegations of indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks, such as mortar firing or shelling in densely populated areas. Such a mechanism should ensure the confidentiality and the safety of potential complainants and witnesses, report its findings publicly and recommend disciplinary measures and the initiation of criminal proceedings against any personnel found to have been responsible for such violations. 93. The African Union and AMISOM should consider developing its military doctrine and concept of operations in situations like that of Mogadishu in consultation with the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, UNPOS, OHCHR, ICRC, relevant NGOs and others as appropriate. For the international community 94. The international community must commit to funding all relevant United Nations activities at this critical juncture of the implementation of an international strategy for Somalia. It is worrying that, as of end of June 2010, the 2010 consolidated appeal for all United Nations activities in Somalia had only received US$337 million, which is 57 per cent of the revised budget. The reduced funding has affected all non– food programmes, including health, nutrition, water, sanitation, agriculture and livelihood. Lack of fund would badly impact United Nations efforts for peace and reconciliation in Somalia. 19
