Akin to any war it is civilians who have borne the brunt of the war in northern Ethiopia since its eruption. The authors of the report conclude that some of these violations and abuses may amount to crimes against humanity and war crimes. It is also set to prosecute civilians involved in egregious crimes committed in other regions during the war. Given its mandate is confined to addressing events that took place within a specified timeframe, the joint investigation report does not give a comprehensive account of all relevant incidents that occurred during this period. It’s only then that accountability, justice and effective remedies can be delivered for the victims of the war.
