| dc.description.abstract | The Tigray conflict in Ethiopia has resulted in widespread human rights violations, including torture and ill-treatment. This thesis examines the legal framework for reparation in Ethiopia and the challenges faced in its implementation, with a specific focus on survivors of torture in the Tigray conflict. The study explores domestic and international legal provisions pertaining to reparation, analyzes practical obstacles encountered by survivors in seeking redress, and identifies potential avenues for obtaining effective remedies. The research addresses critical issues in the ongoing Tigray conflict, such as accountability, humanitarian access, and healthcare deficiencies. Survivors face challenges accessing justice, particularly due to the involvement of Eritrean forces, insecurity, limited trust in domestic institutions, gaps in the implementation of the Pretoria agreement and the absence of a state compensation fund. The study examines the delayed investigations, survivors' calls for justice, and the impact of conflict-related torture on physical and psychosocial well-being. The paper concludes by proposing recommendations for safeguarding survivors' rights to reparation, including full and effective rehabilitation, and emphasizes the importance of addressing the unique needs of survivors in the Tigray conflict. By shedding light on the challenges faced by survivors of torture in Tigray and advocating for their rights to reparation, this thesis contributes to the discourse on human rights, transitional justice, and conflict resolution. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for policymakers, | |
