Abshir Omar Jama Huruse, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, signed the agreement on behalf of Somalia.

The agreement was signed in Dublin, Ireland.

Consequently, civilians living or working in war zones will enjoy increased protection as this international law comes into effect.
