| dc.description.abstract | Enforced disappearance (ED) is a longstanding but neglected problem in Ethiopia. There are outstanding cases of disappearance that remain unresolved to date. This research analyzes the protection against ED under the current legal regime of Ethiopia. The research employed a hybrid of both doctrinal (desk review) and non-doctrinal (fieldwork) legal research approach. The findings of the research include gaps and challenges such as lack of criminalization of ED and failure to resolve outstanding cases of past disappearances and continuing trends of disappearance. Besides, there is no adequate legal protection against ED in Ethiopia notwithstanding some promising developments such as Ethiopia’s expression of interest to ratify CPED and establishment of the Reconciliation Commission. Last, the research submits that the GoE should take necessary policy, legal and institutional measures towards the protection of all persons from ED. | en_US |
