Under the ATMIS mandate, all civilian, security and police forces are expected to fully respect international human rights law (IHRL) and international humanitarian law (IHL) and to ensure that those responsible for violations and abuses of human rights and violations of IHL are held accountable.
The mandate underscores the need to strengthen the legal framework and calls for capacity building on child protection, to prevent all forms of violence against children and to hold those responsible to account.
Further, all parties to armed conflict in Somalia are called upon to end sexual and gender-based violence. Somali authorities are called upon to work with relevant partners to ensure the protection for all from sexual and gender-based violence, and conflict-related sexual violence and take appropriate steps to investigate alleged abuses and prosecute alleged perpetrators to stop impunity.
The ATMIS mandate calls on the United Nations (UN), the African Union (AU) and other international partners to support the Somali authorities and requests that ATMIS share the experience and lessons learnt from the operation of the Civilian Casualty Tracking Analysis and Response Cell (CCTARC) with national authorities, including with a view to supporting the development of Somali civilian casualty monitoring, mitigation, and prevention policies and mechanisms.
