| dc.description.abstract | Crimes against humanity have existed since time immemorial. However, they were criminalized by the International Military Tribunal for the first time. The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia Statute, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda Statute and other UN monitored special and extraordinary tribunal statutes provided for crimes against humanity. The Rome Statute has also provided for crimes against humanity as core international crimes in an effort to fight impunity. Crimes against humanity are not defined in Ethiopian criminal laws. Ethiopia is not a party to the Rome Statute. But some acts committed in Ethiopia constitute what is to be understood as crimes against humanity under international law. Fighting impunity from crimes against humanity based on customary international law and direct application of international law by domestic courts of Ethiopia is hardly possible. So, Ethiopia needs to come up with solutions that help fight impunity from crimes against humanity. | en_US |
