We are determined to safeguard human rights, Ethiopia saysADDIS ABABA - The Federal Republic of Ethiopia says it is keen to safeguard human rights, despite criticism directed towards Addis Ababa for the last couple of years under the stewardship of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, a Nobel Peace Prize Laurette, having won the coveted prize in 2019. “After a robust, intensive, and participatory process, the Transitional Justice Policy is in its final stage,” said the Foreign Ministry. According to the statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Transitional Justice Policy will be endorsed by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in the coming weeks. The statement comes three days after UN experts warned “imminent risk of atrocity crimes” in Ethiopia. Human Rights Experts from the United Nations claimed Ethiopia is one of the countries where abuse of human rights is imminent, adding that there is a need for the Horn of Africa nation to reform.
