In the lead up to, during and after the upcoming presidential and local elections, scheduled for 2009, both the Government of Somaliland and the international community should pay greater attention to the overall human rights situation in Somaliland and consider ways to protect human rights. Amnesty International has been monitoring, reporting on and promoting human rights in Somaliland since 1991. This report offers recommendations to improve the respect, protection and promotion of human rights in Somaliland.
