Book Description
Tadesse Simie Metekia's Prosecution of Core Crimes in Ethiopia offers an in-depth analysis of core crimes trials in Ethiopia within the broader frame of international criminal law. This book is a result of an unprecedented data collection, a meticulous exploration of relevant national and international norms and case laws, as well as a full engagement with the existing literature on the domestic application of international criminal law. A comparative examination of the actual trials and the manner in which Ethiopia set prosecutions of core crimes in motion, Metekia's book is a significant achievement in terms of furthering academic knowledge and of contributing to the wider policy debates on international criminal justice and on the role of states in prosecuting atrocities.
Prosecution of Politicide in Ethiopia
Author: Marshet Tadesse TessemaPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 9462652554
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
This book investigates the road map or the transitional justice mechanisms that theEthiopian government chose to confront the gross human rights violations perpetratedunder the 17 years’ rule of the Derg, the dictatorial regime that controlled state powerfrom 1974 to 1991. Furthermore, the author extensively examines the prosecution ofpoliticide or genocide against political groups in Ethiopia. Dealing with the violent conflict, massacres, repressions and other mass atrocities ofthe past is necessary, not for its own sake, but to clear the way for a new beginning.In other words, ignoring gross human rights violations and attempting to close thechapter on an oppressive dictatorial past by choosing to let bygones be bygones, is nolonger a viable option when starting on the road to a democratic future. For unaddressedatrocities and a sense of injustice would not only continue to haunt a nation butcould also ignite similar conflicts in the future. So the question is what choices are available to the newly installed government whenconfronting the evils of the past. There are a wide array of transitional mechanismsto choose from, but there is no “one size fits all” mechanism. Of all the transitionaljustice mechanisms, namely truth commissions, lustration, amnesty, prosecution,and reparation, the Ethiopian government chose prosecution as the main means fordealing with the horrendous crimes committed by the Derg regime. One of the formidable challenges for transitioning states in dealing with the crimes offormer regimes is an inadequate legal framework by which to criminalize and punish/divegregious human rights violations. With the aim of examining whether or not Ethiopiahas confronted this challenge, the book assesses Ethiopia’s legal framework regardingboth crimes under international law and individual criminal responsibility. This book will be of great relevance to academics and practitioners in the areas ofgenocide studies, international criminal law and transitional justice. Students in thefields of international criminal law, transitional justice and human rights will alsofind relevant information on the national prosecution of politicide in particular andthe question of confronting the past in general.

The Permanency Rule in the Ethiopian Criminal Code of 2004. Consequences for the Defintion of Grave Willful Injury Crimes
Author: Fesseha NegashPublisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 3346370704
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 23
Book Description
Scientific Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, , course: law, language: English, abstract: This scientific essay deals with the Ethiopian criminal code of 2004 and its problematic definition of bodily injury crimes due to the permanency rule. Act of bodily injury is commonly understood as crime against physical integrity and human dignity. Nonetheless, assessing different jurisdictions’ experiences reveals, though they have some criteria in common, they employ different standards and criteria to define what constitutes bodily injury crime and to classify bodily injury crimes, particularly into grave bodily injury crimes and other types of bodily injury crimes. Ethiopian criminal code of 2004 covers crime of bodily injury in its chapter II of book V under a caption "crimes against person and health". It is verbatim copy of chapter 2 of book V of Ethiopian penal code of 1957. Though, even closing the eyes to historical glimpse, since 1957 inflicting any kind of bodily injury is crime against person and health, reviewing practices point out that there is no well established jurisprudence to define and to classify bodily injury crimes into grave willful injury crime and other kind of bodily injury crimes.

Book Description
Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Sociology - Law and Delinquency, grade: A-, Addis Ababa University (Department of Sociology), course: Senior Essay, language: English, abstract: The present study was emphasized on how the action of Mob justice is perpetrated in the suburbs of Addis Ababa City. This Action has been the reality in different parts of Ethiopia especially for the last two years as a manifestation of the political, economic and social turmoil in the existing regime. The research has been followed a case study to get in-depth information from few eyewitnesses that were comprised of different places to collect ample evidence based on the eyewitness account. A qualitative method was used to analyze the data taken from informants with an interview. The findings of the study showed that the nature of mob justice in the suburbs of Addis Ababa city is marked by perpetrators from different socio-demographic backgrounds which especially are young, unemployed and male-dominated mobs. Moreover, there were also strangers that commit most of the action intentionally against a few ethnic groups that project different resentments related to the current political-economic situation in the country. Most of the patterns of mob justice in these localities were supported by government officials at the community level due to different reasons like as a means to hide from future accusations that are believed by these officials. At an individual level, most of the perpetrators were reported to be filled with ethnic haters and economic benefits that are perceived to be gained after the displacement and evacuations by victims from their households and most of the squatter settlements that were targets of the mob justice. At a community level, the ignorance and negligence of the communities in each locality cost hundreds of innocent lives and destructions of huge amounts of properties from these areas. All such actions were caused by different implications that divided households, neighbors, and communities into disintegrations and uncertainties. Finally, educating communities, taking measures to criminals, rehabilitating the victims with different strategies, controlling the hate speeches and fake news by Social Medias with appropriate legal frames, organizing the justice system with impartiality and independence, and change the compositions of local administrative with different ethnic groups and etc were the major recommendations suggested based on the findings reached.
