Evaluating the application of human rights principles in crime investigation in Ethiopia : a case study of the Addis Ababba city policeTulu, Alemayehu Shiferaw 10 1900 (has links)
In any society the police are organized with the responsibility of keeping peace and order, ensuring the rule of law, justice, prevention of crime as well as protection of human rights. Regardless of the circumstances in which the police find them, they should act towards every human being with a sense of duty and care for human rights; it is the responsibility of the police to conduct the process of arrest, search and seizure according to the law with no neglect of duties. The police are expected to comply with the arrest, search and seizure procedures designed to ensure the protection of human rights. Nevertheless, usually, the task of investigation is vulnerable to human right violation. This is particularly true in the case of the developing countries where the process of democratization is so infant that most of them not only lack the required level of awareness/understanding pertaining to the human right principles but also the necessary institutional mechanisms that contribute to the proper application of human right principles are missing. The report of the Ethiopian Federal Police Inspection Service conducted in the year 2003 indicated that there were some suspects arrested without court warrant and with the existence of reasonable doubt for their guiltiness. Moreover, findings of a research conducted in the same year on certain Addis Ababa sub-city police stations also clearly indicate this fact. The objective of the this research is to evaluate the extent to which crime investigator, who are duty bearers in the Addis Ababa city police, adhere to the human right principles pertaining to the rights of suspected, accused and arrested person that are recognized in pertinent international instruments and enshrined in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) constitution and other related laws of the country while fulfilling their duties and responsibilities throughout the crime investigation process. Specifically the study is also aimed at exploring the form and type of commonly violated human right, if any and the determinant factors behind the respective types of human right violation by crime investigation belong to the Addis Ababa police .Methodologically the study followed and is mainly relied on the qualitative empirical approach to social science research. / Police Practice / M.

Urban and peri-urban EcoHealth markers and health promotion intervention in Addis Ababa EthiopiaTariku Berhanu Desalegn 10 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the EcoHealth markers and
health promotion interventions in the behaviour and practices of vegetables growers
in Addis Ababa. The objectives were to assess the urban and peri-urban community
members’ knowledge and practices on the existing environmental health
policies/regulations/guidelines, assess the perspectives of women and youth on urban
and peri-urban EcoHealth promotions and protections and evaluate the development
and implementation of the health promotion activities on waste water use by applying
an ecological model aimed at changing behaviour and by providing Bio-sand filter to
promote hand wash practice which helps to reduce potential health risks among urban
vegetable growers.
Both quantitative and qualitative descriptive researches were conducted to identify the
urban and peri urban community members’ knowledge and practices of the existing
environmental health regulators and the perspectives of women and the youth on
EcoHealth. Additional quasi experimental method; multiple baseline survey along with
the EcoHealth Stress Process promotion method was employed to identify stressors,
measure changes in environmental health promotion intervention and use of hand
wash (biosand filter for hand wash).
Six woredas from two subcities of the Addis Ababa City Administration were purposely
selected, and a total of 845 (98.9% response rate) households participated in the
quantitative study, while 142 community members (public sector offices, factories and establishments’ management and employee), participated in the qualitative survey.
For quasi experimental method, six settings/blocks (of which 3 sites were provided
with a bio-sand filter for hand washing) cultivated by 6 to 8 vegetable growers and their
family members, were included in the intervention (multiple baseline survey).
The findings revealed that about 77 percent of participants reported, knowledge of one
or more of the selected environmental health and EcoHealth regulations. Ownership
of assets and education tend to influence the public awareness of selected EcoHealth
and environmental health regulations. Women and youth found to be significant
contributors to better urban and peri-urban EcoHealth conditions and were the ones
primarily affected by environmental hazards. The intervention study results also
indicated evidence-based IEC interventions and ecological health promotion methods
proved useful in promoting EcoHealth in an urban environment. Moreover, the biosand
filter used to provide evidence of health promotion was found to be valuable for
wastewater treatment and significantly reduced chemical, physical and biological
contaminates from the wastewater. / Health Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Health Studies)

The roles and challenges of household care giving in child headed households affected by HIV/AIDS : the case of 10 child households heads in Addis AbabaWoldeyohannes, Moges Jemaneh 03 1900 (has links)
Ethiopia faces large and growing numbers of child household heads, mainly due to AIDS-related parental deaths. Many of them are vulnerable to abuse and are forced to look after themselves and their siblings, drop out of school and find work.
This exploratory study employed qualitative research methods using purposive sampling. The aim was to ascertain how child household heads affected by AIDS adapted to changed life circumstances. The study entailed fieldwork for five weeks in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, where evidence was gathered from 10 selected households headed by children (aged 12 to18), their siblings and key informants.
It was found that all the children in the study are in dismal living conditions although some reported feelings of satisfaction and happiness. The need to provide special recognition and support to child household heads and their siblings by policy makers and service providers in Ethiopia is highlighted. / M.A. (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV/AIDS) / Social Work
