IASC Statement on Somalia & Transmittal Letter from the Secretary-General to the Security Council, Statement of Intent for UN Agencies Operating in Somalia, 1994

Published Date

During the 1992/1993 humanitarian emergency in Somalia, hundreds of thousands of lives were saved thanks to the massive relief operations undertaken by United Nations organisations, intergovernmental organisations under the security protection of Unified Task Force (UNITAF) and United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM) forces.

The United Nations organisations working in Somalia reconfirm their commitment to continue to the maximum extent possible emergency and rehabilitation activities even beyond the expiration of the UNOSOM mandate.
