Ethiopia's human rights situation has significantly worsened since 2019. The government, militias, and armed groups have committed widespread abuses with impunity, violating human rights and humanitarian law. The lack of transparency and independent oversight in addressing past and ongoing atrocities has only exacerbated the problem. Journalists, civil society organizations, and public figures have faced a hostile environment, with arbitrary arrests and prolonged detention without charge. https://lnkd.in/ecuwC_m7

The Technical Assistance Unit (TAU) - Support to the Criminal Justice Reform in Ethiopia Programme, funded by the European Union 🇪🇺 and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) International Services-led consortium with DCAF - Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance, works with criminal justice institutions to empower Ethiopian citizens by promoting understanding of fundamental rights. Today, let's talk about the Rights of Women and Children as we continue to explore fundamental rights in Ethiopia. These rights ensure special provisions to protect women and children from discrimination and exploitation: 👩👧👦 Protection from discrimination: Women and children must be safeguarded against any form of discrimination, ensuring they have equal opportunities and treatment in all spheres of life. 🛡️ Safeguards against exploitation: Specific measures are put in place to protect women and children from exploitation, abuse, and violence, ensuring their safety and well-being in society. These rights are crucial to foster a society where women and children can thrive, free from fear and harm. #EU GIZ Ethiopia and Djibouti #Ethiopia #CriminalJusticeReform #Justice4All #RightsOfWomenAndChildren #LegalReform #RuleOfLaw #HumanRights #AccessToJustice #JusticeReform #Safety #Protection

What is the point of the European Union as a whole signing up to Council of Europe treaties, when all 27 EU members are already part of the CoE? Well, just last month, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that the EU’s common asylum system must now be interpreted in line with the Council of Europe’s #IstanbulConvention on #ViolenceAgainstWomen. That’s an important step forward for women seeking protection from gender-based violence. https://lnkd.in/eZKRmhqG #HumanRights #OneEurope #IstanbulConventionSavesLives
The CJEU says the Common European Asylum System must be interpreted consistently with the Istanbul Convention

Very important decisions today.
Super Friday! Today, the #CJEU has delivered 3 landmark judgments with important consequences for EU asylum policies: 1) Women and girls in Afghanistan are at risk of gender-based persecution and must be protected: https://lnkd.in/euGGQUeS. In its reasoning, the Court made direct reference to #UNHCR's observations on this case: https://lnkd.in/em4vKjxW. 2) National authorities cannot designate countries of origin as safe only for some parts of the territory: https://lnkd.in/e6t9Kt6a. 3) Third countries that do not readmit asylum-seekers on their territory can be designated as safe. BUT Member States cannot adopt inadmissibility decisions on individual asylum applications, if that country will not in fact readmit them: https://lnkd.in/epmiKGJ3. #AfghanWomen #SafeCountryofOrigin #EUTurkeyDeal

#Libya: New UN report points to the renewed violence and repeated violations that have resulted from the failure to deliver justice in Turhana, which itself emphasises the importance of accountability in Libya. “Years have passed since these terrible violations were committed [in Turhana], but the perpetrators have still not been brought to justice, nor have truth, justice or reparations been delivered to victims and their families,” said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk. “The impunity must end – there must be accountability in accordance with international due process and fair trial standards.” https://lnkd.in/emPVxD2N #torture #enforceddisappearance

The current Abiy Ahmed-led Oromo PP regime in Ethiopia has initiated ambitious multi-billion dollar projects, yet the country finds itself entangled in a deepening humanitarian crisis.
