The Center for Human Rights’ focus in research and publications concentrates on certain thematic areas where the Centre aspires to deliver strategic contributions to the study, promotion and effective implementation of human rights in Ethiopia. The state of knowledge of human rights in Ethiopia conspicuously features the absence of primary textbooks in human rights and the national human rights system, inadequacy of research outputs on the normative and practical aspects of human rights, and a significant dearth of national and thematic human rights assessments by independent institutions. Through research and publications, the Center for Human Rights aspires to attend to these lingering problems both in policy setting and implementation of human rights, and hence bridge the gap in the national human rights jurisprudence.
