Forced displacement is a violation of fundamental human rights that often occurs during conflicts, natural disasters, and other crises worldwide. The criminalization of forced displacement under international law is a crucial aspect of ensuring accountability and justice for the victims. This study delves into the legal frameworks that govern the criminalization of forced displacement at the international level, examining key principles and precedents. By exploring these legal foundations, this research aims to extract valuable insights that can inform the development and implementation of appropriate measures in Ethiopia to combat forced displacement effectively. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on protecting internally displaced populations and refugees and seeks to enhance Ethiopia's ability to address forced displacement issues in a manner compatible with international legal standards.
