| dc.description.abstract | The Institution of an Ombudsman is expected to be independent, neutral, and trustworthy that enables the Institution ensures the protection and promotion of human rights. Institution of Ombudsman is mandated to investigate mal-administration of government agencies that results in human rights violations. This study aims to analyze the new Amendment Proclamation No. 1142/2019 towards the protection and promotion of human rights pursuant to international and regional instruments that generally deals with NHRIs. This doctrinal research foundsthat although the Amendment Proclamation tries to ensure the human rights by giving the Institution a mandate to investigate mal-administration, there are normative loopholes which are obstacles for the effectiveness of the Institution. Thus, the Ethiopian Institution of Ombudsman and the HPR needs to reconsider the Amendment Proclamation regarding the mandate of the Institution i.e. towards the ESC Rights and limitation concerning decisions of the Police force, and immunity of the Institution. | |
