If international community is serious and committed to solving crisis of Somalis, they should re-impose UN Trusteeship System similar of that in 1950 and recognize Republic of Somaliland as independent entity
In much analysis, Transitional Government of Somalia (TGS) failed to restored law and order in southern Somalia, including the vicious Mogadishu that paralyzed the country for about two decades. IGAD and Arab League also failed to install government in Somalia after 14 Peace Conferences in Arab and IGAD territories. It is likely that UN Trusteeship System that worked in the Italian Somaliland for about ten years in 1950’s will again restore law and order in Italian Somaliland.
Effective from January 27th 1950, General Assembly adopted a resolution recommending that Italian Somaliland be placed under an international trusteeship system, and requested the Italian government to be administrator of Italian Somaliland until further recommendations to lift the resolution. The decree worked fine between 1950 to 1960 and established local administration for the Italian Somaliland until the unity of Italian Somaliland with British Somaliland on 1st July 1960. Now, international community has all the legal authority it needs to shape a solution to humanitarian crises and armed conflicts around the world including Italian Somaliland, Mogadishu.
We can say, during trusteeship, Italian Somaliland passed through best of its history and people call it today “Golden era of Italian Somaliland”. A lot of development and basic social services were founded.
Whereas, the General Assembly, after having examined the question at its third and fourth sessions, adopted at its 250th plenary meeting on 21st November 1949 a resolution recommending, with respect to the territory formerly known as Italian Somaliland, that the territory shall be an independent and sovereign state; that its independence shall become effective at the end of the ten years from the date of approval of the Trusteeship Agreement by the General Assembly with Italy as Administrating Authority, aided and advised by an Advisory Council composed of representatives of Colombia, Egypt and the Philippines. Italian Somaliland remained under the trusteeship for ten years of prosperity and peace.
