    Ethiopia’s Inter-state Water Management in Light of the Federal System: A Comparative Study
    (A.A.U, 2020-09) Anagaw Zerihun; Jetu Edosa
    The allocation and management of water resources between States poses a serious challenge at the national level. Autonomous federal entities contest the utilization and allocation of shared water bodies. The FDRE Constitution treats water as a natural endowment owned by all the people of Ethiopia. The Constitution centralized the management of interstate waters and their allocation and utilization thereof under the Federal government and the House of Peoples Representatives. The researcher tried to comparatively study the interstate water management and dispute settlement in Ethiopia with selected federal countries. With regard to interstate water dispute settlement Ethiopia has underdeveloped interstate water conflict settlement apparatus. Other than the assignment of the BHC to resolving disputes between regions there are no institutions with the main role of resolving disagreements, there is no clear procedure to dispute settlement and appeal from any decision to be made by the BHC. The researcher commends that; Ethiopia should reconsider its centralized water management and decentralize interstate water management roles to regional states. Ethiopia also should strengthen institution’s that will handle interstate water from the Ministry to Basin Authorities main organs, the Basin High Council and Basin Authority in a participatory and effective manner. There should also be a clear and effective dispute settlement body that will handle fallouts between government bodies and institutions.

    Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies for Judicial Review of Urban Land Clerance Disputes in Ethiopia
    (Addis Ababa Unversity, 2022-12) Tamagn Beyene; Jetu Edosa
    Ethiopia's current urban land legislations grant administrative agencies and tribunals primary jurisdiction over disputes arising from urban land clearance. These land legislations, except for some changes made in recent revisions, have technically limited the extent to which the judiciary would review the decisions of administrative agencies and tribunals. One of these limitations is the requirement to exhaust administrative remedies before seeking judicial review of an urban land clearance decision. However, the practice shows that landholders directly take their case before a court of law, and courts are also hearing such cases. Therefore, when it comes to urban land clearance disputes, there is a need to create clarity between the jurisdiction of quasi-judicial administrative institutions and the inherent judicial power of courts in order to protect the autonomy of administrative agencies and enhance the efficiency of courts.

    Problems Associated with Formation and Application of Surety Bonds under Ethiopian Insurance Law
    (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2020) Fikadu Yami; Jetu Edosa
    The making of insurance surety bonds in Ethiopia is atypical from the conventional way of doing the same elsewhere. These bonds, being signed only between a surety and account party, embodies terms and conditions which obtrude obligations on a non signatory party for whose benefit they are made and this way of doing the business has thus far sourced various enforcement challenges the solution of which has been observed to be perplexing. Particularly, the disputed application of privity rule in the context of the relationship that exist between a surety, obligee and account party in a surety bond arrangement has been a conundrum to obligee`s claim and surety`s defense. In fact the capability of such bonds to validly source rights and duties among the involved parties is contentious and the discord stems from the existence or not of enabling legal base to run such business by Ethiopian insurers. This thesis, using qualitative research method, argues the multidimensional problems which the use of insurance bonds as security devices are undergoing in Ethiopia insurance industry are attributable to the absence of a clear enabling legal base for insurers to run such business, the mis characterization of these devices as insurance policies, the incompatibility which the making of the bond contracts have with existing laws and the inadequacy of the latter to regulate the peculiarities these devices possess.

    Safeguarding the Right to Digital Privacy Under the New Personal Data Protection Law of Ethiopia: A Comparative Study
    (Addis Ababa University, 2025-08-01) Biruktawit Dereje; Jetu Edosa
    In light of international data protection standards, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of South Africa and the General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR) of the European Union, this paper critically evaluates Ethiopia's Personal Data Protection Proclamation (PDPP). The study evaluates the PDPP's enforcement and corrective measures, finds institutional and legal flaws , and investigates how well it protects the right to digital privacy. Using a doctrinal and comparative legal research technique, the paper compares the GDPR and POPIA and examines pertinent policy documents, academic literature, and legislative legislation. According to the findings, the PDPP has serious flaws even though it incorporates globally accepted data protection principles and gives data subjects substantive rights, making it a historic move in Ethiopia's digital rights landscape. These include ambiguous legal definitions, a lack of institutional autonomy, a lack of ability to enforce the law, and inadequate provisions pertaining to cutting-edge technology like algorithmic profiling, biometric identification, and artificial intelligence. In contrast to the GDPR, the PDPP has a smaller extraterritorial reach, less severe fines, and less supervisory control. It also does not have the independent enforcement framework that POPIA does. These shortcomings run the risk of eroding public confidence, compromising safeguards against data abuse, and restricting Ethiopia's participation in international digital commerce The study comes to the conclusion that strengthening Ethiopia's data protection regime requires focused legislative reform, institutional reorganization, and improved technology safeguards. Establishing an independent supervisory body, defining important legal terms, enforcing harsher penalties, incorporating cutting-edge technological protections, and conforming to regional and global norms like the African Union Convention on Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection (Malabo Convention) are some of the recommendations
