| Title | The Roles and Challenges of Ethiopian National Human Rights Institutions in the Protection of Human rights in Light of the Paris Principles |
| Summary | This paper strongly emphasized on the important role of Ethiopian national human rights institutions in the protection of human rights within the country. Accordingly, the aim of this research is to assess the compliance of Ethiopian national human rights institutions enabling legislation with the Paris principles. In so doing, the paper identified the gaps that exist within the law. Further, it analyzed the possible challenges on the effective functioning of these institutions particularly from the point of independence, accessibility, operational efficiency and accountability. The paper, additionally, examined the important relationship between Ethiopian national human rights institutions and non-governmental organizations. Hence, the research discovered the adverse effect of Ethiopian restrictive law on non-governmental organizations on the effectiveness of national institutions from the Paris principles perspective. Based on the findings, the paper proposed the amendment of Ethiopian laws on national human rights institutions and non-governmental organizations. Moreover, national institutions and government should play an active role in all aspects to enhance the effectiveness of these institutions. |
