At the 6564th meeting of the Security Council, held on 24 June 2011, in connection with the Council’s consideration of the item entitled “The situation in Somalia”, the President of the Security Council made the following statement on behalf of the Council:

“The Security Council reiterates its respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence and unity of Somalia. It reaffirms its support for the Djibouti Agreement and peace process as the basis for the resolution of the conflict in Somalia. It also reiterates the need for a comprehensive strategy to encourage the establishment of peace and stability in Somalia through the collaborative efforts of all stakeholders.

“The Security Council welcomes the signing of the Kampala Accord on 9 June, and commends the leadership shown by President Museveni and Special Representative of the Secretary-General Mr Augustine P. Mahiga in facilitating this agreement.

“The Security Council calls on the signatories of the Kampala Accord to honour their obligations. It takes note of the appointment of the new Prime Minister of Transitional Federal Government and looks forward to the prompt appointment of a new Cabinet. It calls on the signatories to ensure cohesion, unity and focus on the completion of the transitional tasks set out by the Djibouti Agreement and the Transitional Charter. It calls on the Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs) to build broad-based representative institutions through a political process ultimately inclusive of all, taking into account the need to ensure the participation of women in public life.

“In this regard, and recalling the Security Council’s meetings with Somali parties in Nairobi on 25 May, the Security Council calls on the TFIs to consult widely with other Somali Groups, including local and regional administrations and to work closely with the countries of the region, regional organisations and the wider international community. It welcomes the upcoming consultative meeting, with the participation of the TFIs and all Somali stakeholders, which should agree on a roadmap of key tasks and priorities to be delivered over the next 12 months, with clear timelines and benchmarks, to be implemented by the TFIs. The Security Council notes that future support to the TFIs will be contingent upon completion of these key tasks. The Security Council urges all Somali stakeholders to participate constructively and responsibly in this meeting.

“The Security Council reiterates the primary responsibility of Somalis to achieve peace, security and reconciliation in Somalia. It recalls that targeted measures can be imposed on those that engage in or provide support for acts that threaten the peace, security or stability of Somalia, including acts that threaten the Djibouti Agreement or the political process or threaten the TFIs or African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) by force, violate the arms embargo, or obstruct the delivery of or access to humanitarian assistance in Somalia.

“The Security Council commends the progress made by the AMISOM and the Somali security forces in consolidating security and stability on Mogadishu, and recognises the significant sacrifices made by these forces.”
