PSC/PR/2 (CV) Rev.1 Page 16 fact that no peace support operation can be efficiently managed based only on voluntary and, therefore, unpredictable contributions, Council may wish to look, once again, at this issue with a view to finding more appropriate solutions. Furthermore, there is urgent need to enhance the management of AMISOM and ensure greater responsiveness of the relevant structures of the Commission to its needs, particularly as far as recruitment and procurement are concerned, as well as closer coordination among all Departments concerned. In the meantime, I recommend that Council extend the mandate of AMISOM for another period of six months. (iv) More efforts are required to build consensus in the region in support of the ongoing process in Somalia. For all its shortcomings, the TFG is yet the best chance in years for moving forward peace and reconciliation in Somalia. The AU, working with its partners, in particular the United Nations, has a role to play in this respect. More generally, the crisis in Somalia and its regional implications point to the need for a regional and coherent approach, if lasting peace and stability is to be achieved. The Commission will consult with relevant regional and international players to further reflect on the issue and on how best the support of the international community could be enlisted for such an undertaking. (v) The UN arms embargo imposed by resolution 733 (1992) needs, on basis of clear benchmarks, to be reviewed in such a way as to enable the TFG, which is internationally recognized, to build up and equip its security forces, which should be all-inclusive, while at the same time maintaining and strengthening its provisions against elements whose actions are bent on undermining peace and reconciliation in Somalia. More generally, the United Nations Security Council should take measures against ‘those who seek to prevent or block the NRC or a peaceful political process, or those who threaten the TFIs or AMISOM by force, or take action that undermines stability in Somalia or the region”, in line with its intention as stated in resolution 1772(2007). (vi) The AU and the larger international community need to widen their perspectives and look more closely at developments taking place in other parts of Somalia. Concretely, urgent and concerted action should be taken to contain the conflict between Puntland and Somaliland, which, if allowed to continue, will spread violence and destabilize in areas that were previously peaceful, with far-reaching humanitarian and regional implications.
