Prisoners of War Ethiopia’s Claim 4 (Part 3), (Partial Award)

Permanent Court of Arbitration, Eritrea-Ethiopia Claims Commission
Decision of July 1, 2003

RW

Facts

In 2000, the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (Ethiopia) (plaintiff) and the State of Eritrea (Eritrea) (defendant), both of them very poor countries, ended their two-year war by agreeing to submit their grievances to an international arbitration panel for resolution. Ethiopia sought compensation for the abuses Ethiopian prisoners of war (POWs) faced at the hands of their Eritrean captors. Evidence persuaded the arbitrators that Eritrea (1) under the circumstances found it impossible to give wounded POWs adequate battlefield medical treatment; (2) abused POWs during their forced marches to POW camps; (3) tortured POWs during interrogations; (4) subjected POW-camp internees to continuous, pervasive physical and mental abuse; (5) interned POWs in camps ill-equipped to provide suitable medical care or prevent the spread of infectious disease; and (6) denied permission for the International Commission of the Red Cross (ICRC) to visit POWs or inspect POW camps.
