Please find attached several documents that
provide information on the composition and role of the Supreme
Court of Ethiopia in the early 1980s. The names of the judges of
the Court could not be found among the sources currently available
to the IRBDC.
According to the attached documents, the
Supreme Court was administered by the Ministry of Law and Justice
until 1987 (Legum 1989, B301). Until 1987, the Supreme Court's
jurisdiction was reportedly confined to hearing appeals from the
High Court (Africa South of the Sahara 1990 1990, 469). The
Europa World Year Book reports that the Supreme Court
consisted of a president and two judges, although the presidency of
the Court was reported vacant (Europa 1984 1984, 1559;
Europa 1983 1983, 334).
Also attached, please find sections of
Africa Contemporary Record (listed below) that provide
information on the Workers' Party of Ethiopia (WPE) hierarchy and
structure, which adds to the information provided in Response to
Information Request ETH11448 of 1 Sept. 1992.
