Sommario/riassunto

Military Service Tribunals were formed in 1916, to consider applications for exemption from men deemed by new legislation to have enlisted. To the military, they were obstructionist old duffers . To most who came before them, they were the unfeeling civilian arm of a remorseless machine. This work challenges both perspectives.

Sommario/riassunto

The papers by international and Ethiopian scholars included in Human Rights and Development: Legal Perspectives from and for Ethiopia focus on the interconnectedness between the protection of human rights and the achievement of development. The book adds to the international debate by providing a unique insight into the Ethiopian perspective on the nexus between rights and development and by discussing how this nexus manifests itself in the Ethiopian context. The comparative and international frameworks and examples constitute a valuable resource for the debate on human rights and development in Ethiopia, which is currently taking place in the context of the developmental state approach pursued by the Ethiopian government.
