| dc.description.abstract | The Ethiopian Federal Police is permitted to use force against persons by law in order to achieve legitimate objectives. In the course of using such force for lawful purposes, the Federal Police has an obligation to respect and protect the fundamental human rights and freedoms recognized under the FDRE Constitution and international human right treaties to which Ethiopia is a party. Nonetheless, the use of force by the Federal Police has the potential to go beyond its intended legitimate purposes and violate human rights. Hence, there is a need for adequate laws governing the use of force by the police. This thesis explains the laws governing the use of force by the Federal Police and assesses the adequacy and compatibility of these laws with relevant international standards on the use of force by police. | en_US |
