Bensouda to head Ethiopian War probe Team

The UN Human Rights Council has appointed Fatou Bensouda, a former International Criminal Court, ICC, prosecutor and Gambian lawyer, to head a team that will probe alleged violations during the conflict in Ethiopia.

The team will have two other international experts: Kenyan lawyer Kaari Betty Murungi and Steven Ratner of the United States.

They will serve on the ”newly created International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia.

”
The UN rights body agreed last December to send international investigators to Ethiopia, where the federal troops and rebels have been fighting.

The commission was handed a one-year renewable mandate to ”impartially investigate allegations of violations and abuses committed by all sides in the conflict.
