a conference on Copenhagen on the new deal for Somalia, although we have made few failed
attempts to participate in the event, we have not received any invitation from the Somalia nor
the host country. We therefore welcome recommendation 17 and invite the state to adopt this
clause.
We agree with recommendations 12,13 and 14 We also welcome recommendation 15 which
says that "legislation should be introduced prohibiting incitement to hatred and violence and
ensuring appropriate penalties, in line with international standards, including in relation to
freedom of expression and hate speech. States should take measures to monitor hate speech
and incitement to violence, including in the media and social medikand respond appropriately,
including by prosecuting perpetrators.
