UN investigation into Tigray abuses to end despite reports of more atrocities

Failure to renew ICHREE mandate comes after human rights experts warn that abuses continue in Ethiopia

A United Nations investigation into human rights abuses committed during Ethiopia's Tigray war has been terminated, despite urgent warnings from its members about the risk of future violations in the east African country.

The mandate of the International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia (ICHREE) will expire later this month, after a deadline passed on Wednesday to table a resolution renewing it to the UN Human Rights Council.
