Background

Since the end of 2020, appalling atrocities are being committed against civilians in the Ethiopian region of Tigray and beyond. The actions of Ethiopia, Eritrea and nonState actors have created a crisis with devastating humanitarian consequences, with at least 2 million displaced. The UN and other International Organizations have been unable to stop the fighting and secure access to those in need of help. In order to understand what options are available to halt the conflict and mitigate the suffering, it is key to understand its root causes, the actors involved and the legal framework applicable. Urgent action is needed. International public opinion can no longer idly stand by. Concerned citizens everywhere can engage in efforts to halt these atrocities and mitigate the suffering of the affected populations.
