Sool, Sanaag and Cayn People Requesting a War Criminal Special Court

SSC Regions of Somalia

In October of 2010, the tragedy of the genocide in SSC regions of Somalia began with an invasion from Secessionists Tribal Militiamenfrom Hargeisa and Buro.

The invasion consisted of various units and criminal elements from across Northern Dir Tribesof Somalia, including the Isaaq, Gudabirsay and Isse.

For over two years, a joint criminal enterprise, led by then War Criminal Col. Ahmed (Xaabsade), Col.Dahir Riyale and Col. Kahin on behalf of warlord Ahmed Mohamed Siilaanyo, murdered, raped, maimed, and mutilated around 2000 human beings to further its own tribal criminal purposes by settling his tribes in these regions.

These settlements were used in the overall geopolitical plan to turn all of SSC regions into a SNM Secessionists fiefdom. Many of the players in this horror were graduates of the terrorist tribal training camps in Hargeisa and Buro (So Called Somaliland), funded by western and UN organizations. In this internal armed conflict, the Ahmed Silanyo’s Militiamen committed atrocities beyond description, and SSC Regions became a killing field, truly a hell on earth.

Today Feb.15.2011 Silanyo’s Militiamen has massacred 4 people from SSC Regions at Buhodle City (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipnXigj-wcI&feature=player_embedded).

The names of the victims are: Mother and two children and very old man.

II. THE War Criminal Special Court for SSC Regions:

Could international criminal justice be effectively and efficiently? Applying in a politically acceptable time frame?

The SSC people are requesting the Security Council to pass a resolution calling upon the Secretary General to study the problem and recommending an alternative accounting mechanism for dealing with what took place in SSC Regions of Somalia? The SSCpeople are expecting the development of the world's second hybrid international war crimes tribunal, which would be called the Special Court for SSC regions.

III.THE COURT MANDATE:

The court mandate is to prosecute those who bore the "greatest responsibility" for war crimes and crimes against humanity stemming from the two-year long genocide in SSC regions. This mandate will allow prosecutors to accomplish their goals within a politically acceptable time frame. The Security Council has up to a plan and the hard work of the Office of the Prosecutor.

IV. THE EXECUTION:

It has to develop a plan that laidout this work in SSC regionsover a period of time.

The phases and milestones followed a standard common law pattern. Frankly, it is

not rocket science, just good old common sense, dedication, and hard work. The plan has to break down into five parts: office set up; Investigation/indictment; pre-trial; trial; and appeals. The court system has to incorporate: (1) the creation of a SOMALI Diaspora Consortium; (2) the establishment of an outreach and legacy plan that included the town hall program; (3) the setup of a witness management program; and finally (4) the institution of new charges and a new format for the indictments.

A. SOMALIS ACCADEMIC AND DIASPORA CONSORTIUM:

Designed to be an education program for law students, as well as a support mechanism for the Office of the Prosecutor, the academic consortium will provide its worth by saving main office countless hours and millions of dollars in attorney time. As an education program, hundreds of law students will have the unique opportunity to be involved in a real world international prosecution. Their work product, will be supervised by professors, will be exceptional and will contribute to the advancement of international criminal law. The Somalis Colleges of Law including Hargeisa institute of law will be a member and its students will be important in this overall support to the Office of the Prosecutor.

B. OUTREACH AND LEGACY PROGRAM:

It must be understood that an international war crimes tribunal is for and about the victims, their families, their towns, and their districts. A busy tribunal tends to lose sight of this important fact.

After all, it is the people who will have to live with the results; thus it is imperative that they understand and respect the process.

C. WITNESS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM:

Any prosecutor worth his salt will ensure that his witnesses are accounted and cared for in an appropriate way. Due to the fact that all of court evidence will come from witness testimony, court will need to ensure their testimony was truthful and accurate, and that they are secure in the knowledge that they will be protect, base on the threat level assessed over time.

D.LOCAL OUTREACH:

Outreach is essential to assist in the understanding of the importance of the rule of law and international justice. A tribunal can only complete its work if the citizens of the region appreciate and understand why it is the international community that is there seeking justice and accounting for the various international crimes allegedly committed. At the end of the day, it will be the people living in the SSC Regions area and overall Somalia who will have to live with the results.

CONCLUSION:

International criminal justice can be effectively and efficiently delivered within a politically acceptable time frame. The international war crimes tribunal in Somalia, the Special Court for SSC regions, will show that it can be done. Regional hybrid arrangements are effective in delivering justice directly to the victims, their families, districts, and towns; and they can work in the paradigm of the Rome Statute that established the International Criminal Court. The international communities now have the tools in place to face down impunity wherever it rears its ugly head of the Nuremberg Trials, we must continue to ensure that the rule of law is the guiding principle for good governance and a world at peace.
