| dc.description.abstract | In Ethiopia, people are forcefully displaced from their habitual residence due to various causes. Children are also among those people forcefully displaced and makes them the most vulnerable persons to different displacement induced human rights violations such as their right to life, food, shelter, physical security, not to be sexually abused, not to be separated from their family and community which endanger a child’s existence. To this effect for children need special protection, therefore, the international and regional laws protect IDPs children by imposing the primary obligation on a state to protect and provide humanitarian assistance to IDPs, and also refrain from violating the rights of IDPs children. In the case of the Burayu displaced that occurred on September 2018, children were among the displaced. The displacement induced rights of displaced children violated during and after displacement mainly include the right to not to be arbitrary displaced, the right to survival and development, the right to psychological support, the right to humanitarian assistance, physical integrity, the right to education, the right health, and the right to durable solution. With respect to Ethiopian state obligation to prevent from the violation of the rights of displaced children from Burayu, the government has failed its obligation in that it did not take any preventive measures to eliminate the cause for the displacement of displaced children of Burayu. Lastly, Ethiopian state by not also enacting legal frameworks for the protection of displaced children, and nonexistence of legal remedy both in case of civil and criminal matters for the prevention and protection of displaced children from Burayu and also by not providing immediate humanitarian assistance and durable solution has failed in its obligation to fulfill to the protection of displaced children from Burayu. | en_US |
