In light of the significant shifts in circumstances following the submission of the 2019 Universal Periodic
Review (UPR) recommendations for Ethiopia, it is no longer feasible to base interventions solely on these
guidelines for addressing the current situation. The outbreak of a genocidal war in Tigray, which began in
November 2020, after the UPR submission, has surpassed the realm of policy adjustments or minor
infractions. As a result, the primary focus must now shift towards alleviating the urgent and profound
humanitarian crisis stemming from this conflict.
