Somalia’s recent ratification of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child marks a pivotal development in the country’s commitment to child rights protection. Ratified by the Somali House of the People in October 2025, this move brings Somalia closer to aligning its national legal framework with continental child welfare standards. However, the Somali government’s subsequent clarification reveals a nuanced approach that balances international treaty obligations with adherence to Islamic law and national constitutional principles. This analysis explores the legislative process, official clarifications, stakeholder perspectives, and the broader socio-political context shaping Somalia’s child rights landscape.
On October 1, 2025, Somalia’s lower house of parliament voted overwhelmingly to ratify the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, with 130 in favor, 10 against, and 5 abstentions. This ratification affirms Somalia as the 52nd African Union member to adopt the treaty, which sets regional standards for protecting children’s rights, including protection from abuse, access to education and healthcare, and promotion of child participation. The robust support within parliament reflects growing political will to enhance legal protections for children despite ongoing challenges.
The charter, originally adopted by the Organization of African Unity in 1990, signifies a comprehensive commitment to advancing children’s well-being across Africa. Somalia’s accession to the charter not only embeds the country within this continental framework but also responds to the urgent humanitarian needs arising from prolonged conflict, poverty, and instability that have disproportionately impacted children in Somalia.
