New Publication: Human Rights Implementation in Ethiopia

Wolfgang Benedek, Tadesse Kassa Woldetsadik and Tesfaye Abate Abebe with new edited volume "Implementation of International Human Rights Commitments and the Impact on Ongoing Legal Reforms in Ethiopia"

This edited volume on Implementation of International Human Rights Commitments and Implications on Ongoing Legal Reforms in Ethiopia addresses key themes of contemporary interest focused on identifying the gaps between Ethiopia’s human rights commitments and the practical problems associated with the realisation of human rights goals. Political and legal challenges affecting implementation at the domestic levels continue in Ethiopian – the nature and complexity of which have been thoroughly expounded in this volume. This edition uncovers the key challenges involving civil and political rights, socio-economic rights and cultural and institutional dimensions of the implementation of human rights in Ethiopia – while the country is absorbed in legal and political reforms.
