| dc.description.abstract | The 2'd half of the by gone century has witnessed the evolution of the concept of human rights to assume a universal jurisdiction. Today a violation of human rights in one part of the planet is a violation against international community. Not only individual states but also states functioning at the international level are duty bearers regarding human rights. In short individual states and international community are required to respect, protect and promote human rights in every part of the world. The right to development is one of the recently emerging human rights. Tracing its ideological birth in Africa back in 1970s, the right to development proved to be one of the cherished rights of peoples and individuals, especially those living in economically poor countries to which Ethiopia squarely belongs. Obligations attached to human rights in general and the right to development specifically required the international community (especially the economically developed ones) to extend aid of various forms to the peoples I iving in poor countries. One form of sllch aid is development aid. Paradoxically development aid from the donors has a potential of affecting hmnan rights in the recipient cOllntries both positively and negatively. Human rights status in a given recipient country has also a role in determining the effectiveness of development aid in that country. The normative framework build upon human right law, the multidimensional effects of development aid on human rights and the instrumental value of human rights for aid effectiveness all induced this thesis to argue that donors should integrate human rights in to their development activities. In this thesis I have argued that donors of Ethiopia should redesign their development policy in such a way that it accommodates human right consideration in a meaningful way. | en_US |
