Model Land Lease Regulation
The House of People’s Representatives has enacted the controversial urban land proclamation No.721-2011 on January 2011. Even though the law is a Federal law, the power of implementation through subsidiary legislation is given to Regions and city administrations. According to article 33 of the proclamation, Regions and city administrations shall have the powers and duties to issue regulations and directives necessary for the implementation of the Proclamation. This being the case, the Ministry of Urban Development and Construction has prepared a model land lease regulation two months after the issuance of the proclamation. This document was submitted for discussion mainly in Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa and some regions.
The model land lease regulation is not a binding document. However, it is expected that it will significantly affect the subsequent regulations to be issued by Regions and city administrations. (I don’t have information whether they have already issued the regulation.)
The model land lease regulation is drafted only in Amharic. (This is a typical problem of subsidiary legislations in Ethiopia.) You can get the document from the official web site of the Ministry, but I advise you not to do so. There is some annoying advertisement displayed on each page of the document, telling you that the document was converted to pdf using an inactivated version certain software. For this reason, you will not be able to read at least two articles on each page. They are totally covered by this irritating advertisement. May be someone can help the Ministry by sending a pdf converter.
I have removed all the objects from the original document and now you can download the model land lease regulation from this blog.

Effect of Formalities on the Enforcement of Insurance Contracts in Ethiopia
Effect of Formalities on the Enforcement of Insurance Contracts in Ethiopia
Fekadu Petros
(LL.B, LL.M; Arbitration Tribunal Manager, Ethiopia Commodity Exchange; Part-time Lecturer at AAU Faculty of Law)
Introduction
The problems addressed in this article are related to the functions, purposes, and effects of non-observance of legal formalities in contracts of insurance in Ethiopia. Failure to meet the formality requirements provided in the law entails nullity of a contract. However, this paper attempts to explore and examine the various perspectives of this proposition with regard to insurance contracts. To this end, the writer has reviewed literature, conducted extensive interviews and analyzed cases.
The first section deals with formalities in Ethiopian contract law in general, and makes a general overview in respect of all types of formal contracts. It attempts to show the broad social and institutional purposes and justifications of formalities beyond narrower immediate effects viewed in the context of individual cases and present needs. The last two sections are devoted to analysis of insurance formalities both in the law and in the practice.

International Trade and Human Rights: An Unfinished Debate

A. Introduction
We are living in a world in which the moral legitimacy of cultures, religions, ideologies, and the practices of states, international organizations, and even corporations is being measured against human rights norms. The moral significance of and practical respect for human rights has grown so much that human rights have been described as a global religion, and a new standard for civilization. International trade, a popular and much debated issue of our time, is one of those phenomena that is currently being measured against the standards of human rights. Leading experts remain divided about whether global trade is good or bad for human rights. There are those who are utterly convinced that the world trade regime has a mutual basis with human rights and see potential in the growth of one as a positive sign for the other. There are also those who, on the other hand, are equally convinced that human rights and international trade regimes are in a relationship of enmity.
One should, however, conceive of the relationship between world trade and human rights as, fundamentally, a relationship in tension, but also as a relationship in which that tension can be significantly minimized through accommodation, convergence, and inter-penetration. It is conceivable that solutions that are acceptable to the majority of political participants in the international community can be reached even where the two regimes—human rights and free trade—clash. This comment argues that the relationship between human rights and international trade is not, and should not be viewed as, a zero-sum game in which one’s gain is necessarily the other’s loss. The comment begins with an explanation of the core tension between the two regimes and goes on to explain, or at least make a proposal for, how this tension could be negotiated…
