Demand that all parties fully uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law (IHL) and human rights law (IHRL), immediately cease all grave violations against children, and release all children within their ranks.At the time of writing, the Security Council Working Group on CAAC (SCWG-CAAC) continues to negotiate its conclusions in response to the SG’s sixth report on the situation of CAAC in Somalia ( S/2022/397). The outbreak of violence in Laascanood town in February has reportedly led to the displacement of over 185,000, 89 percent of whom are women and children. The CTFMR also identified the ongoing drought and military offensives against Al-Shabaab as key factors contributing to violations. According to the SG’s February report on Somalia ( S/2023/109), the UN Country Task Force on Monitoring and Reporting (CTFMR) verified 1,127 grave violations against children between August 23, 2022, and January 1, 2023. In April, the Security Council is expected to discuss the implementation of ATMIS mandate, pursuant to SCR 2628 (2022). The Somali Federal Defence and Somali Police Forces are each listed for recruitment and use, killing and maiming, and rape and other forms of sexual violence.
Al-Shabaab is listed in the annexes of the Secretary-General’s (SG) latest annual report ( S/2022/493) on children and armed conflict (CAAC) for all five ‘trigger’ violations, and Ahl al-Sunna wal-Jama’a (ASWJ) is listed for recruitment and use.
