Ethiopian Criminal Law

Abstract

Ethiopian Criminal Law is a pioneering textbook that presents the general principles and specific offences of Ethiopian criminal law based on a systematic approach and consistent methodology. Chapters on the sources and history as well as the international dimension of criminal law in Ethiopia are included. Current case law is extensively incorporated and explained. Definitions, examples, and discussion questions make the book an essential reading for both students and scholars of criminal law, as well as practitioners and judges working in the field.

The volume forms part of the African Criminal Law Series (eds. G. Werle & F. Jeßberger). The Series publishes peer-reviewed monographs open access and aims to create a hub for criminal law in Africa. It emerged in the context of the African German Research Network for Transnational Criminal Justice which is based at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Germany).
