Background
The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is established by Establishment Proclamation No. 210/2000 as amended by Proclamation No. 1224/2020 to promote and ensure the protection of human rights in Ethiopia. EHRC has the mission to educate the public about human rights and to ensure that human rights are protected, respected and enforced, as well as to take the necessary measures whenever those rights are found to have been violated.
Monitoring is one of the key strategies in promoting and protecting human rights that the EHRC uses to deliver on its mandate. Monitoring is a process of continuing oversight and review. It has been defined as ‘the activity of observing, collecting, cataloguing and analysing data and reporting on a situation or event’. Human rights monitoring commonly has two dimensions:
As in all its core functions, the Commission has particular responsibility to carry out its monitoring and inspection work through a gender lens, and to ensure that human rights situation of women, children and other vulnerable groups are identified, assessed, given due consideration and addressed. As monitoring requires comparison over time, to determine whether the observance of human rights standards has improved or deteriorated over time, it requires developing baseline, indicators, benchmarks or milestones and targets. As part of the reform EHRC is undergoing, the Commission intends to assess its existing tools and methods, revise/update as appropriate and build the capacity of staff at the head and branch offices to effectively implement them.
