    Country: The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia

    Committee: United Nations Human Rights Council


    Agenda: “Addressing rights beyond borders: Discussing the safeguarding of refugees and the
    challenges of climate migrants”

    The United Nations Human Rights Council, founded in 2006, is a vital UN entity dedicated
    to safeguarding and advancing human rights on a global scale. Comprising 47 elected
    members who each serve three-year terms, the council replaced the former United Nations
    Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR). Tasked with overseeing human rights
    implementation and monitoring nations for potential violations, the UNHRC also formulates
    necessary interventions to assist vulnerable populations. To date, the UNHRC has facilitated
    the rehabilitation of over 1 million refugees in host countries, marking a significant milestone
    in its humanitarian efforts.

    The challenges encountered by refugees and climate migrants are not isolated incidents, but
    rather interconnected threads woven into the fabric of a complex global crisis. As countries
    navigate the responsibility of providing refuge to individuals fleeing conflict and oppression,
    they are simultaneously confronted with the harsh reality of displacement driven by
    environmental factors. Rising sea levels, intensified weather events, and ecological
    degradation are compelling communities to abandon their homes in search of safer havens.
    This convergence of humanitarian and environmental crises underscores the urgent need for
    collaborative and sustainable solutions on a global scale to address the multifaceted
    challenges faced by vulnerable populations worldwide.

    The Republic of Ethiopia has maintained an active presence within the United Nations
    Human Rights Council since its inception, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to
    upholding and enhancing human rights protections through proactive measures. Ethiopia
    upholds an open-door policy for refugees, extending its support to over 823,000 individuals
    primarily from South Sudan, Somalia, and Eritrea. The country diligently allocates these
    refugees to designated camps, ensuring the efficient provision of essential services. Notably,
    Ethiopia enacted a significant law on January 17, 2019, enabling refugees to obtain work
    permits and essential documentation, affording them the opportunity to work legally, register
    vital life events, and access financial services. Ethiopia remains dedicated to ongoing
    enhancements to enhance the quality of life for refugees and actively seeks global
    partnerships to address challenges related to climate-induced migration and refugee
    protection. Ethiopia, in collaboration with the international community, is resolutely
    committed to fostering a more robust and inclusive global society that addresses the pressing
    needs of all affected individuals.
