The findings of two reports issued by the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) in the past fortnight make for grim reading. Ethiopia is a signatory to a host of international humanitarian agreements which set minimum standards for all parties to a non-international armed conflict. It has also adopted seven out of the nine major international human rights treaties, including the Universal Declaration of Human rights (UDHR), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. These treaties set out guarantees for fundamental rights, many of which correspond to the rights to which civilians are entitled under international humanitarian law. The actions of the parties to the ongoing conflicts in Ethiopia raises doubts whether they have a proper grasp of their responsibilities underthese international humanitarian and human rights laws.

Earlier this month, a local rights group said dozens of people were killed, prompting the United States to call for an investigation. Last April, a rebellion broke out when the Ethiopian government tried to dissolve local forces and absorb them into the Ethiopian Army, reports The Associated Press. On Feb. 6, the Ethiopia Human Rights Council said it received information “showing that massive human rights violations were committed” during fighting in Merawi on Jan. 29 between the Fano and the Ethiopian army. Following the fighting, the Ethiopian army began conducting house-to-house searches, looking for Fano supporters and killing people they thought were suspicious. The Ethiopian military are the only ones to use drones during the fighting — and they have used them extensively, according to the state-appointed Ethiopian Human Rights Commission, or EHRC.
