                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling all its previous resolutions and statements of its President on the
               situation in Somalia,
                    Reaffirming its respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political
               independence and unity of Somalia,
                    Commending the support provided by the African Union through the African
               Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) now the African Union Transition Mission in
               Somalia (ATMIS), by the United Nations through the United Nations Assistance
               Mission in Somalia (UNSOM), the United Nations Support Office for Somalia
               (UNSOS) and through its agencies, funds and programmes, by the Panel of Experts

                     Urging Somalia to continue to codify and implement weapons and ammunition
               management policies, including continued development of an accountable weapons
               distribution and tracing system for all Somali security and police institutions,
               recognising that effective weapons and ammunition management is the responsibility

               (FMS),
                     Expressing support for the FGS in its efforts to reconstruct the country, counter

               expressing its intention to ensure the measures in this resolution will enable the FGS
               in the realisation of these objectives, noting that the security situation in Somalia

               arms, but affirming that it shall keep the situation in Somalia under constant review

                attacks, reiterating its determination to support comprehensive efforts to reduce the
                threat posed by Al-Shabaab, and urging Somalia’s leaders to work together on the
                fight against terrorism,
                      Underscoring the importance of a holistic and gender sensitive approach to
                counter terrorism and violent extremism conducive to terrorism, conducted in
                accordance with applicable international law, as well as efforts to address the

                nationality, civilisation or ethnic group, condemning terrorist groups’ attempts to craft
                distorted narratives that are based on the misinterpretation and mis representation of
                religion to justify violence and to popularise their attempts to undermine Somalia and
                the region, expressing concern over their exploitation of information and
                communication technologies including through the Internet, particularly socia l

                      Commending the role played by the FGS, member states, and regional
                organisations to suppress piracy and armed robbery off the coast of Somalia, and
                urging continued development of a Somalia-led, coordinated approach in developing
                Somalia’s maritime governance sector, including through the formation of the Somali
                Navy and Coast Guard Working Group, and support of Somalia’s maritime
                institutions,
                      Expressing serious concern about the humanitarian situation in Somalia,
                encouraging States to scale-up their humanitarian support to Somalia, and calling for
                all parties to the conflict to allow and facilitate, in accordance with relevant
                provisions of international law, including applicable international humanitarian law,
                and in a manner consistent with the United Nations guiding principles of humanitarian
                emergency assistance (United Nations General Assembly resolution 46/182),
                including humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independen ce, the rapid and
                unhindered provision of humanitarian assistance necessary to support persons in need
                across Somalia and recalling that the Committee established pursuant to resolution
                751 (1992) may designate individuals or entities that engage in obstruction of the
                delivery of humanitarian assistance to Somalia, or access to, or distribution of,
                humanitarian assistance in Somalia,
                      Strongly condemning the deliberate targeting of civilians, including those who
                are humanitarian personnel, and civilian objects in situations of conflict, as well as
                the indiscriminate use of weapons in populated areas and their consequences for the
                civilian population, calling upon all parties to the conflict in Somalia to refrain from
                such practices in accordance with their obligations under international law, including
                international humanitarian law,
                     Expressing concern at the continued reports of corruption and diversion of
                public resources in Somalia, and calling for the Somali Government authorities to
                continue efforts to address corruption, strengthen administrative management,
                improve financial transparency, make good use of public resources and continue to
                accelerate the pace of reform,

           authorities to further strengthen efforts to address the “six grave violations” against
