United Nations compound in Hargeisa, the UNPOS HRU needs to be strengthened further,
including by appointing additional human rights officers to the unit, to adequately address
needs related to monitoring, public reporting, advisory services and capacity-building
activities.
89. I support the Human Rights Watch recommendations to OHCHR, published in its
latest report “So much to fear - war crimes and devastation of Somalia”, on the need for
UNPOS Human Rights Office to have further expertise [on children, and] on monitoring of
sexual and gender-based violence. If monitoring inside Somalia is not possible due to
security concerns, OHCHR may consider focusing on documenting the experiences of
refugees in Kenya, Djibouti, and Yemen and of displaced people in Somalia.
