Item Freedom of Political Association in Ethiopia(AAU, 2020-05) Bersabeh Solomon ; Abdi Jibril AliFreedom of association is guaranteed in the FDRE Constitution as well as international human right treaties ratified by Ethiopia. Ethiopia has recently adopted Ethiopian Electoral, Political Parties Registration, and Election's Code of Conduct Proclamation Number 1162/2019 which helps ensure political association. The study is aimed at assessing the Electoral Proclamation in regard to ensuring political association of parties. The analysis revealed that the time set for registration is as per the standard but is not prompt in practice which is against the right to form a political party. The requirement set for minimum member in registration is not extensive considering the population of Ethiopia. For cancelation of political parties there are some reasons that have not been clearly listed which is restrictive as well. But funding is set as per the acceptable standard. Therefore, the conclusion reached is that the Electoral Proclamation has some restrictions on political association.Item Refugees Right to Work in Ethiopia(AAU, 2020-05) Ephrem Asnake ; Abdi Jibril AliThe new Ethiopian Refugee Proclamation No. 1110/2019 reflects the overall development of refugee protection aiming at making refugees self-sufficient. The new Proclamation recognizes refugees' right to work which includes wage-earning employment, self-employment and the right to form and join a trade union in the same treatment accorded to foreigners. This has caused a tension on the host communities around refugee camps. This qualitative study reveals that recognition of refugees' right to work in Ethiopia is a promise which could not be implemented since most areas of employment or investment are designated only for nationals and other areas are unattainable due to high requirements. Thus, specific directive should be adopted for refugees concerning the right to work and conflicts arose thereof could be mitigated through implementing developmental projects which benefit both refugees and host communities.
