Transitional Justice and Truth Commissions in Ethiopia: A Comparative Analysis
(Daystar University Law Journal, 2025) Gelaye, Andualem Tsega
Ethiopia has implemented different transitional justice measures to deal with gross violations of human rights committed in different periods. A recent initiative in this regard is the one that began following the conclusion of the conflict between the Ethiopian federal government and Tigray regional state in November 2022 with the signing of the Pretoria agreement (COHA).This article analyzes the evolution of truth commissions in Ethiopia by focusing on the emerging Ethiopian Truth and Social Cohesion Commission. It analyzesthe adequacy of the draft law establishing the Commission by using doctrinal and comparative methodology. The key argument of the article is that the draft law establishing the Ethiopian National Truth and Social Commission has many gaps in it when it is analyzed in light of international standards and best practices of other jurisdiction. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the Commission in the future, the gaps identified in the paper should be rectified.
Intellectual Property Rights in Artificial Intelligence Systems for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
(Daystar University Law Journal, 2025-12) Amenya, Dammarys
This article examines the intersection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems in addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation. As AI technologies increasingly contribute to climate solutions, ranging from predictive models to renewable energy optimization, the adequacy of existing IPR frameworks in fostering innovation while ensuring equitable access becomes a pressing concern. The article explores how patents, copyrights, and trade secrets apply to AI driven innovations and highlights the challenges of ownership, authorship, and accessibility in the context of AI-generated works. It argues that current IPR regimes, designed for human inventions, struggle to accommodate AI’s autonomous contributions, creating ambiguities that could hinder collaboration and deployment of climate technologies. The article advocates for reform, including recognition of AI’s role in innovation, specialized protection categories, and international harmonization of laws. It further proposes collaborative mechanisms such as patent pools, open-source platforms, and tiered licensing models to balance proprietary incentives with the urgent global need for accessible climate solutions. By analyzing the tensions between innovation, ownership, and equity, this article underscores the necessity of rethinking IPR frameworks to enable AI-driven responses to the climate crisis.
