Nobody asked for the UN probe into human rights abuses in Ethiopia to continue, so it will end next week. The United Nations' probe into human rights atrocities in Ethiopia will end next week despite investigators warning of an "overwhelming risk" of further abuses being committed in the war-ravaged country. The International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia was set up during a special session of the Human Rights Council in December 2021, at the request of the European Union. "There is an overwhelming risk that human rights atrocities will continue," the commission warned Tuesday as they flagged their new report. "We are gravely concerned about the situation in Ethiopia and the potential for future atrocities," commission chair Mohamed Chande Othman added.
