In both the Federal Government of Somalia and Somaliland, the absence of a comprehensive legal framework for refugees and asylum seekers limits their access to formal employment and associated legal remedies. While domestic laws such as the Labor Code of Somalia (1972) and Puntland Labor Law for Private Businesses (2018) ensure certain protections for workers, including the right to settle labor disputes, there is a lack of specific provisions for refugees and asylum seekers. This gap often leaves displaced individuals without clear legal avenues to seek redress when employment opportunities are denied. For instance, both the Labor Code of Somalia and the Puntland Labor Law provide mechanisms for resolving individual labor disputes, such as the submission of disputes to a district labor inspector for conciliation within a set period. However, these provisions are not tailored to the unique circumstances of refugees and asylum seekers, potentially limiting their ability to fully access these dispute resolution mechanisms.
