Mechanism for Investigation of Atrocities in Ethiopia's Tigray Region

 Ethiopia Insight posted on 12 April 2021 a commentary titled "Justice Will Not Be Served By a Joint Ethiopia-UN Inquiry into Tigray Atrocities" by Getachew Gebrekiros Temare, human rights activist.

The author argues that the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission should be excluded from any investigation in Tigray Region because it lacks political independence, capacity, and experience.  He adds the office of the UN High Commission for Human Rights should launch an independent investigation.

Comment:  It goes without saying that whatever the composition of the investigation it include the killing of Amhara at Mai Kadra as well as the atrocities committed against Tigrayans.
