Abstract

The Final Awards rendered by the Eritrea-Ethiopia Claims Commission established the amounts of compensation payable by either State for damages resulting from violations of international law arising out of the 1998–2000 armed conflict. After briefly presenting the approach and methodology adopted by the Claims Commission, this chapter will delve into the Commission’s response to claims for violations of jus in bello and jus ad bellum. Furthermore, the present chapter will provide an overview of the Commission’s findings on rejected damages that deserve to be highlighted in order to better underscore the Commission’s peculiarities. Finally, some concluding observations on the legacy of the Claims Commission and the significance of its work, and in particular of its Final Awards, will be offered.
