Critical Assessment of State Obligations towards the Protection of Internally Displaced Persons in Ethiopia: The Case of East Wollega Zone of Oromia Regional State

Abstract

This thesis critically examines the degree to which the Ethiopian government has implemented its obligations towards the protection of internally displaced persons, with a particular focus on the East Wollega Zone of Oromia Regional State of Ethiopia. It mainly evaluated the alignment between Ethiopian normative commitments and the practical implementation on the ground in light of its obligation under international human rights law, the Kampala Convention, and relevant regional and national legal frameworks.
