Somali Peace and Human Rights Centre (shortened as Somali Peace) is a voluntary, non-governmental, non-partisan organization, which is committed and instructive for peace and human rights that faithfully works countrywide to promote peace and protect the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights set forth in the universal declaration of human rights and creates ways to strengthen communities in the pursuit of peace.
Somalia is suffering decades of conflict, resulting in severe violations for which there is little accountability and the United Nations is repeatedly calling the situation in Somalia the “One of the worst places for human rights violations and other humanitarian disaster”.
Founded in 2014, the Somali peace began with a group of human rights lawyers and other professionals who recognized the Somali’s uniqueness in the ethnicity and their spirit of social justice as an opportunity to promote peace and protect human rights in the entire Somali population, and as well as, being stimulated by the serious human rights abuses that being associated with the adopting and developing of the new government federalism system and the power struggle in the country and other remarkable prodigious violations committed by Al-Shabbab, particular, south-central Somalia whereby most of the crimes against humanity continues to happen including massive-indiscriminate killing of civilians, rape, violence by unknown backed clan militias and political motivated Somali Armed Forces, kidnapping, disappearances, and arbitrarily detaining.
