Ethiopia Finalizes Legal Frameworks for Transitional Justice

The Ethiopian Ministry of Justice has announced the completion of draft legal frameworks necessary for the implementation of the national transitional justice policy. The Ministry is preparing to release these draft laws for public review in the coming period. Simultaneously, a government-led civil society forum has been launched to support the implementation process. However, this new platform is currently facing scrutiny regarding its independence, inclusivity, and level of public trust. While the legal preparation marks progress, concerns persist over the genuine participation of stakeholders in the transitional justice process.
