A/HRC/18/2 conflict, and that an international conference for the reconstruction of Somalia be held. It finally declared that the African Union Mission in Somalia should have more means. 319. The Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies welcomed the acceptance by Somalia of the recommendations regarding the establishment of a mechanism to investigate war crimes and crimes against humanity, and called on the authorities to ensure that those responsible for atrocities were brought to justice in fair trials. It also urged the Somali authorities to carry out effective and impartial investigations into killings of and attacks against journalists and civil society actors in the areas under their control, and to ensure that human rights defenders and journalists could carry out their activities freely. 320. Human Rights Watch continued to document cases of children associated with the Government armed forces and Government-aligned militias, and urged the Transitional Federal Government to establish urgently effective and systematic age vetting procedures, and to develop, with the assistance of the United Nations, a concrete plan to eradicate the use of child soldiers. The request made by the Government for the assistance of OHCHR and concerned countries to improve accountability mechanisms should be acted upon promptly. It called on the Government to impose a moratorium on the death penalty immediately. 321. Amnesty International, while welcoming the acceptance by Somalia of the recommendations to guarantee freedom of expression, referred to two cases of killings of and attacks against journalists. Despite the expressed commitment to establish a moratorium on the use of death penalty, 2 individuals had been executed and 17 sentenced to death by a military court. 322. International Educational Development stated that the Government of Somalia should be honoured for its commitment to promote and protect human rights in Somalia even in the midst of war. Because Somalia was at a breaking point, the international community should act outside its purview. It was difficult for Somalia to apply universal periodic review recommendations, and the first responsibility of the international community was to provide immediate and adequate humanitarian aid and to take all possible measures to deliver it to those in need. 4.
