Abstract/Description:

The relationship between the development system and the human rights system has traditionally been a difficult one. On the basis of a case study in Ethiopia this chapter will illustrate a range of human rights challenges and dilemmas donors may face when they cooperate with weak or undemocratic governance structures. Taking a closer look at the background and context of both systems it will provide insights on why human rights aspects are still marginalised in a range of development undertakings, particularly economic ones.
