Abstract The right to self-determination is one of the human rights enshrined under the Ethiopian constitution. It is also one of the rights mentioned under ICCPR and ICESCR as well as the constitutions of different countries. Being unique to many other human rights instruments and constitutions in the world, the Ethiopian constitution includes the unconditional right to secession as a part of self-determination for every one of the ethnic groups (nations, nationalities, and people) in the country. As argued among many scholars, the inclusion of unconditional secession as a part of self-determination right in the Ethiopian constitution was based on the wrong narrative that nations, nationalities and people in the country were oppressed. Thus, it is a point of political debate between elites and became the major cause of widening the divergence among views of different political parties in the country. Of course, within the constitution, there are hurdles that can potentially deny exercising of this right. Therefore, this study qualitatively analyses the impracticability of secession and unacceptability of narratives to its inclusion in the constitution of the federal democratic republic of Ethiopia.

行使分离权的宪法障碍和关于将其纳入埃塞俄比亚宪法的论点

摘要 自决权是埃塞俄比亚宪法规定的人权之一。这也是ICCPR和ICESCR以及不同国家宪法中提到的权利之一。作为世界上许多其他人权文书和宪法所独有的，埃塞俄比亚宪法包括作为该国每个族裔群体（民族、民族和人民）自决权的一部分的无条件分离权。正如许多学者所争论的那样，在埃塞俄比亚宪法中将无条件分离作为自决权的一部分是基于错误的叙述，即该国的民族、民族和人民受到压迫。因此，它是精英之间政治辩论的焦点，并成为该国不同政党意见分歧扩大的主要原因。当然，在宪法范围内，存在可能否认行使这一权利的障碍。因此，本研究定性地分析了分裂的不切实际和叙述的不可接受性，以将其纳入埃塞俄比亚联邦民主共和国宪法。
