| Title | Balancing and Safeguarding the Right to Fair Trial For Suspects of Terrorism in Ethiopia |
| Summary | This thesis will provide for safeguarding mechanisms that need to be adopted in Ethiopia to effectively guarantee fair trial for suspects of terrorism without compromising its counter terrorism efforts. Ensuring fair trial rights, in the midst of combating terrorism, requires a delicate balance which can only be achieved if the appropriate safeguards are in place. This balancing exercise will rely on a broader framework that looks at criminalization and prosecution through a fair trial lens. In an effort to devise such balancing, the thesis will assess the law and practice of Ethiopia on fair trial and terrorism to compare it with the laws of the United Kingdom and the jurisprudence of the United Nations. Such assessment will critically analyze the scope, limitations and safeguards of the right to fair trial for suspects of terrorism provided in these jurisdictions. Through this assessment, it will adopt a fair trial framework to countering terrorism. The framework provides for a balancing exercise within the scope already provided under international human rights law. Such framework will be supported by the necessary safeguards that protects suspects from abuse of overstretched standards. |
