| dc.description.abstract | In Ethiopia, displacement is not a new phenomenon; this has been happening for centuries due to both natural and man-made causes. Major disasters have occurred in Ethiopia due to a number of factors; particularly conflict-related displacement is an important incident in the country's current situation. According to a number of studies, racial bias in competition for scarce resources such as land and water, as well as inadequate social services and poor governance, are reasons for the spread of conflict-related displacement. Millions of people were displaced from their homelands and relocated to other areas due to their ethnic origins and political leanings, which were influenced by armed groups and political elites within the government administration. as a result, millions of people are subjected to various human rights violations. In order to support the previously stated facts, this study primarily assesses the legislation and practices governing internally displaced person in Debire Birhan. The reason for the displacement and the manner in which rights were violated were assessed in accordance with the guidelines of both domestic and international law. The researcher employed Qualitative research design and used a combination of primary and secondary sources to conduct the research. The study found out Ethiopian Government has failed in its duty to respect the obligations bound by a Kampala convention and to protect the rights of those who have been forcibly displaced and sheltered at the Debire Birhan IDPs Camps. There are currently no laws in Ethiopia that protect the rights of internally displaced persons. It has also failed to put in place strong institutions to prevent internally displaced people from being housed at Debire Birhan without receiving prompt humanitarian assistance and long-term solutions. Therefore the Ethiopian Government should adopt comprehensive IDPs legislation and establish a robust institution to address the plights of IDPs and to implement Kampala Convention. | |
