Though the Universal Periodic Review mechanism is a newrndevelopment of HRC, in its two previous cycles achieved 100% engagement of all states. It hasrnchanged the landscape of human rights monitoring with its consensual approach. The principalrnobjective of the Universal Periodic Review is the improvement of human rights situation on thernground. However, for the effectiveness of the Universal Periodic Review mechanism, thernexistence of relevant domestic institutional and legal framework, government commitment,rneffective participation of other stakeholders in all stages of UPR, and implementation of UPRrnrecommendations is vital.rnEthiopia has engaged in both of the previous UPR cycles. Other stakeholders also participatedrnby submitting their own alternative report and attending a consultation on the national report inrnboth of the previous UPR cycles. Hence, UPR brought some new development in the humanrnrights situation of Ethiopia. However, lack of well-established institutions and systems, lack ofrnappropriate statistical data regarding the situation of human rights in Ethiopia, the absence ofrnpolitical commitment, and the principles adopted by Ethiopia for accepting recommendation arernproblems in the UPR process. Moreover, lack of the culture of self-evaluation in the governmentrnof Ethiopia, and lack of standing institutions, which prepare and submit national reportsrnchallenged the effectiveness of UPR in Ethiopia. Additionally, 10% fund limitation of CSOsrnproclamation no. 621/2009, governments’ bad perception towards domestic human rights CSOs,rnlimited access to government information and problems pertaining towards to CSOs like theirrntendency of excuse and weak capacity are challenges entangled for the effectiveness of UPRrnprocess in Ethiopia.rnNevertheless, there are new developments in a country, which serve for future effectiveness ofrnUPR in enforcing human rights in Ethiopia.
