Layliga Blue Shield: Guul Weyn oo laga gaaray Muqdisho!

Iyadoo la mideynayo dadaallada, ma aha oo kaliya in la xoojinayo aasaaska nabadda iyo adkeysiga Soomaaliya, balse sidoo kale waxaa lagu biirinayaa xasilloonida guud ee gobolka.
Iskaashigan waxa uu ka tarjumayaa dadaalka ay wadaagaan EUTM Somalia iyo Ciidanka Badda iyo Ilaalada Xeebaha Soomaaliya ee ku aaddan kor u qaadista amniga iyo abuurista jawi ammaan ah oo loogu talagalay dhammaan.

Core Principle: Respect for Human Rights

Respect for Human Rights lies at the very core of EUTM Somalia’s mandate and daily work. Every training session, advisory engagement, and institutional partnership is firmly grounded in the principles of human dignity, equality before the law, accountability, and the protection of fundamental freedoms. Human rights are not treated as a separate component of security sector development, but as an essential foundation for professional, trusted, and effective armed forces.
Through comprehensive training and strategic advice, EUTM Somalia supports Somali security institutions in embedding international humanitarian law, civilian protection standards, and ethical leadership into their structures and operations. By strengthening awareness and practical application of these principles, the mission contributes to building security forces that serve their communities with integrity and responsibility.
Committed to partnership. Dedicated to stability. United for progress.


Mabda'a Aasaasiga ah: Ixtiraamka Xuquuqda Aadanaha

Ixtiraamka Xuquuqda Aadanaha wuxuu saldhig u yahay waajibaadka iyo shaqada maalinlaha ah ee EUTM Somalia. Tababar kasta, talo-bixin kasta, iyo iskaashi hay’adeed kasta waxaa si adag loogu saleeyaa mabaadi’da karaamada aadanaha, sinnaanta sharciga hortiisa, isla xisaabtanka, iyo ilaalinta xorriyadaha aasaasiga ah. Xuquuqda aadanaha looma arko arrin gaar u taagan horumarinta waaxda amniga, balse waa tiir lama huraan u ah dhismaha ciidan xirfad leh, lagu kalsoonaan karo, oo wax-ku-ool ah.
Iyadoo loo marayo tababaro dhammaystiran iyo talo-bixin istiraatiiji ah, EUTM Somalia waxay taageertaa hay’adaha amniga Soomaaliyeed si ay ugu dhex-dhigaan qaab-dhismeedkooda iyo hawlgalladooda sharciga caalamiga ah ee bani’aadannimada, heerarka ilaalinta rayidka, iyo hoggaan anshax leh. Adkaynta fahamka iyo ku-dhaqanka mabaa’di’dan si wax ku ool ah waxay gacan ka geysaneysaa dhismaha ciidan u adeega bulshadiisa si daacadnimo iyo mas’uuliyad leh.
Ku go’an iskaashi.
U heellan xasillooni.
Midnimo ku wajahan horumar.
