Abstract
This study has examined the Role of United Nations Human Rights Council in
Promoting Human Rights in Ethiopia Since 2018. This study employed a
qualitative research methodology. Qualitative research collects the experiences,
opinions, and actions of individuals. Semi-structured interviews were utilized to
gather data for the qualitative study, which was then interpreted using thematic
analysis and intentional and snowball sampling procedures. The study revealed,
since 2018, there have been several human rights violations. Through the
creation of fact-finding missions and investigations, joint investigative
mechanisms, resolutions, and advocacy, the UNHRC steps in to address human
rights concerns in Ethiopia. Additionally, advocacy, diplomatic initiatives, and
international community mobilization are UNHRC domains that support human
rights in Ethiopia. In addition, the Ethiopian government's lack of collaboration,
enforcement mechanisms' shortcomings, disappointment, and dissatisfaction are
obstacles the UNHRC faces in its efforts to advance human rights. The UNHRC's
report on promoting human rights in Ethiopia highlights many problems,
including political bias and influence, a lack of international coordination and
pressure, a lack of enforcement mechanisms, inconsistent and delayed responses,
an excessive reliance on diplomatic engagement and dialogue, and a failure to
address systemic issues and root causes. One idea that is overlooked in the
research is the promotion of human rights. It is essential to conduct additional
research on this matter. As a result, this study creates a chance for additional
research.
