June 12, 2001 SOMALIA: Landmine Monitor Report 2000 The situation in Somalia with respect to landmines is essentially unchanged since Landmine Monitor Report 1999. The reader is referred to that report for historical background, description of the landmine problem, and ban policies of various factions. There are still no mine clearance, mine awareness or victim assistance programs in Somalia. August 1, 2000 Somalia Faces the Future: Human Rights in a Fragmented Society The departure of the last U.N. troops of the Somalia operation in March 1995 marks a critical juncture for Somalia, and for international peacekeeping. In researching this report, we set out to discover what would be left behind when the U.N. withdrew, what the prospects would be for the future, and what recommendations should be made to Somalis and the international community based on what we learned. Directed at Somali leaders at all levels of society, governments in the region, and at the wider international community, they concern the protection and promotion of human rights, but also larger issues of international peacekeeping, peace enforcement and humanitarian intervention. HRW Index No.: A702 April 1, 1995 Seeking Refuge, Finding Terror: The Widespread Rape of Somali Women Refugees in North Eastern Kenya While the tragedy in Somalia made daily news, the plight of thousands of refugees in neighboring Kenya remains unpublicized. Since 1992, approximately 300,000 Somalis have fled across the 800 mile Kenya-Somali border, most of them women and children. Many were the victims of violence, including rape, as they fled war-torn Somalia. They came to Kenya to escape these dangers only to face similar abuse while enroute to or living in the refugee camps. October 1, 1993 Purchase online Somalia: Beyond the Warlords The Need for a Verdict on Human Rights Abuses While the deployment of a large international military force in Somalia has produced a dramatic improvement in the ability of relief agencies to reverse the terrible famine that was causing massive death among civilians, it does not adequately address the underlying causes of the destruction of Somalia's social fabric that ultimately led to the famine. March 1, 1993 Somalia: No Mercy in Mogadishu The Human Cost of the Conflict & The Struggle for Relief "The worst humanitarian disaster in the world today," were the words used to describe Somalia by Andrew Natsios, the former director of the U.S. Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA).1 The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), which is spending 20% of its entire worldwide budget on assistance to Somalia, has come to the same conclusion. As this report shows, these words are no exaggeration. March 26, 1992
