Article 11- Non refoulement

1/ No person shall be refused entry into Ethiopia or expelled or returned from Ethiopia to any other country or be subject to any similar measure if as a result of such refusal, expulsion or return or any other measure, such person is compelled to return to or remain in a country where: a) he may be subject to persecution on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion: or b) b) his life, physical integrity or liberty would be threatened on account of external aggression, occupation, foreign domination or events seriously disturbing public order in part or whole of the country. 2/ The benefit of sub-article (1) of this Article may not, however, be claimed by a person whom there are serious reasons for regarding as a danger to the national security, or who having been convicted by a final judgment of a particularly serious crime, constitutes a danger to the community. 3/ the Agency shall, in line with this Proclamation and other laws, ensure whether serious grounds exist for regarding a person as a danger to national security.
