Welcomes the steps taken by the Federal Government of Somalia to
establish effective mechanisms in managing its weapons and military equipment,
including the Arms and Ammunition Steering Committee, and notes with regret that
these structures are not functioning with the required level of efficiency nor at all
levels of government;

without further delay;

Requests the SNA and AMISOM to document and register all military
equipment captured as part of offensive operations or in the course of carrying out

ammunition, photographing all items and relevant markings and facilitating
inspection by the SEMG of all military items before their redistribution or
destruction;
7.
Reiterates its request to the FGS, with the support of international
partners to establish a joint verification team which would conduct routine
inspections of government security forces’ stockpiles, inventory records and the
supply chain of weapons, and requests that any such group provide its findings to
the Committee, for the purposes of mitigating the diversion of arms and ammunition
to entities outside of the security services of the FGS;
8.
Reiterates that weapons or military equipment sold or supplied solely for
