A/HRC/12/44 page 19 violation of human rights and humanitarian laws. The naming of a human rights focal point who could liaise with the United Nations and others in this regard would be very useful. 87. Measures to end the deep-rooted culture of impunity in Somalia and to ensure accountability for all Government servants must be a key priority. As a party to the Djibouti Agreement, the Government is committed to taking the necessary measures to deal with all abuses of human rights and international humanitarian law committed throughout the entire Somali conflict. It must honour its commitment, however challenging that task may be. Apart from developing mechanisms to deal with the perpetrators of past crimes, the Government will also have to take measures to prevent impunity in the future. To that end, it will have to rebuild and re-orient the security forces with a command and control leadership that promotes professional behaviour. 88. Capacity-building and the training of Government forces and officials on human rights and humanitarian law principles should continue as long as old habits and practices remain. The United Nations is committed to helping in this regard. That help must be used on a priority basis. More specifically, arrangements will have to be made to train and brief the new authorities - presidential office, Government and parliament - to create an awareness of their obligations with regard to human rights and the implementation of ratified treaties and covenants. These training sessions could be held alternatively in different locations in the country where circumstances permit, and include local, regional and national authorities. 89. Training and briefing sessions should include strategies to raise awareness of the human rights framework and what it means in practice, including increasing the participation of women in all processes. Over time, support for establishing parliamentary oversight mechanisms and an independent national body to promote and protect human rights will also be necessary. Ensuring the incorporation of human rights into the drafting process of a new constitution will be an important task for the coming months. 90. The assurances given by the Prime Minister during his meetings with the independent expert to set up an independent national human rights commission must be followed up in the shortest possible time, notwithstanding the challenges that an ongoing conflict poses. 91. An important challenge for the Government will be the introduction of sharia law as the source of legislation. The task of adopting legislation in full compliance with international standards will be an extremely difficult task. The independent expert is pleased to learn that UNDP is already liaising with the Government in this regard. 92. Since the tasks facing the Government to improve the human rights of the people is an enormous one, the Government should draw up a road map with clear immediate, medium- and long-term objectives. While improving the physical security should indeed remain the top priority in the immediate term, there are other objectives that could be included. The Government could immediately pledge to set up activities relating to the exercise of certain economic, social and cultural rights that have been denied for so long in areas where circumstances permit. For example, higher education and vocational training of selected youths from Mogadishu and other areas of south-central Somalia could be set
