The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission was established by Proclamation No 210/2000 on 4th July 2000. The grand objective of the nations, nationalities and peoples of Ethiopia to jointly build one political community founded on the rule of law through the instrumentality of guaranteeing the respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual and of nations/nationalities and peoples is one of the bases for its establishment.
The budget of the Commission shall be drawn from the following sources:
a) budgetary subsidy to be allocated by the Government
b) assistance, grant and any other source.
Since its establishment, the Commission has carried out a diverse set of activities planned to accomplish the core mission, values and objectives of the Commission in partnership with a variety of national and international entities working with issues of human rights. Accordingly, it has managed to produce a number of reports on human rights situation of the country as well as conducted various human rights trainings and monitoring activities.
