Examining The Available Trigger Mechanisms To Prosecute Getachew Assefa Et Al Before The Icc

The Pre-Abiy EPRDF-lead Government of Ethiopia has been accused of grave human rights violations since 1991. The new PM Abiy Ahmed has also officially admitted these critical allegations before the parliament. Following the PM admission, the FAG has prosecuted Getachew Assefa et al. before the FHC. Despite the charge filed before and the arrest warrant issued by the FHC, so far the Ethiopian Government has failed to bring the alleged suspects before justice since the alleged suspects are shielded in the Tigray and the latter has failed to hand over the suspects. To curtail the possible impunity of the alleged perpetrators, looking for the available leeway to trigger prosecution before the ICC was the core objective of this thesis. In doing so the study has employed both primary and secondary sources and found a leeway to refer Attorney General v. Getachew Assefa et al before the ICC.
