Mohammed Seid
Mr. Mohammed holds two advanced degrees: a Master’s in Constitutional Law from the University of Amsterdam and a Master’s in Conflict Resolution from the University of Bradford. His extensive professional experience highlights the practical application of his academic expertise. Notably, he has collaborated on key research initiatives, including the "Transitional Justice in Protracted Conflict" project, supported by the German Peace Research Foundation.
From 2016 to 2019, Mr. Mohammed served as a consultant for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), where he played a crucial role in assisting Somalia's Ministry of Justice in revising the penal code and drafting anti-human trafficking legislation. Additionally, he leveraged his knowledge in constitutional law and conflict resolution to train legal professionals throughout Somalia.
Mr. Mohammed's recent contributions include the development of a criminal law training manual and the compilation of an English-Somali glossary of criminal law terms. His drafting of the Ethiopian Somali Regional State’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission Establishment Bill, alongside his co-drafting of Somalia’s National Identification and Registration Authority Establishment Law, underscores his capacity to apply constitutional and conflict resolution principles effectively across varied legal and political landscapes.
