The war that raged between Eritrea and Ethiopia from 1998 to 2000 has caused
great loss of life and tremendous devastation. This book analyses from an
international legal perspective the nature and the state of the boundary
conflict preceding the actual armed conflict, the military actions
themselves as well as developments in the aftermath of the military
activities, like the role of the UN peace-keeping deployment and the
responsibility for the multitude of explosive remnants of the war. The
authors address the complex issues of responsibility for the use of force,
violations of humanitarian law and ‘borderline’ issues regarding situations
where the law of armed conflict and the (successive) law of peace meet.
Ample attention is paid to the decisions of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Claims
Commission and the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission.
• Examines every feature of the international trust fund model • Includes
examples and case studies of more than 300 trust funds • Summarises the
