| dc.description.abstract | This paper has critically analyzed the importance of ensuring the right to compensation for IDPs, especially those returning to their home. For that, it has analyzed the existing legal frameworks on the rights from the national and international perspective. It has also gathered the major challenges IDPs face upon returning and claiming property rights specifically of compensation claims. It has unveiled that the national framework on IDPs right to property has caused major challenges in empowering victims to claim their rights and lack of legal and institutional framework for IDPs has caused a responsibility vacuum from the government side. Thus, to fill those gaps, the paper has recommended the adoption of new law that covers the needs and vulnerabilities of IDPs in Ethiopia. Specifically amending existing laws hindering the effective remedies for IDPs is vital. Further, severing of reservation made on the Kampala Convention on the right to compensation, through activism from various actors is needed for effective redress for the right to compensation of IDPs with emphasis on the state compensation scheme to be given priority for consideration. | |
