A/HRC/13/65 page 25 G. For the African Union/AMISOM 108. The independent expert recognizes the commendable efforts of AMISOM forces in protecting key installations in and around Mogadishu under most challenging security conditions. As long as the Transitional Federal Government continues to be supported by the international community as the best option for dealing with the situation in Somalia, there is no alternative to this. He therefore urges all African Union and OIC countries to strengthen AMISOM. In particular, he calls upon all African Union member States that have pledged troops to AMISOM to make good their pledges to enable AMISOM to reach its authorized strength. 109. In view of continuing allegations of human rights and humanitarian law violations by AMISOM troops, the expert recommends that efforts are undertaken to increase the troops’ compliance with the basic standards in those fields. They should, in particular, make sure that under no circumstances are populated areas targeted by indiscriminate shelling. -----
