Recommendations
In order to address torture properly and avoid possibility of impunity, as well as to enable the country to comply her duties to criminalize and prosecute torture in light with international laws particularly UNCAT and ICCPR, based on the above findings and conclusion the researcher recommends the following solutions. The legislature should enact anew and separate anti-torture law that criminalize crime of torture and come up with a definition of torture. In so doing the legislature should comprehensively address (prohibit) the issue of defense of justifiable acts, application of amnesty, pardon, statute of limitations and immunities. In addition in defining torture the legislature should include all the purposes listed in the UNCAT and developed through human rights bodies. Further, the legislature should avoid requirement of state official capacity. Rather it should make effort to ensure the wider protection from torture based on Ethiopia obligation under ICCPR. As the Federal General Attorney is mandated with power to initiation and drafting laws, and as agent for enforcing criminal laws the institution should take the responsibility for initiating the anti-torture law.
