6. ETIKA DALAM KEBIJAKAN LUAR NEGERI: KEBIJAKAN ETHIOPIA MENAMPUNG PENGUNGSI PERANG SAUDARA SUDAN SELATAN TAHUN 2013-2015

Abstract

Ethics is one of the important factors that could affect the pattern of a country's policies.
South Sudan civil war occuring in 2013 has enforced its residents to flee to the
neighboring countries. Ethiopia, which is a country bordering South Sudan has long had an
open border policy for refugees looking for security. For a developing country, hosting
refugees may provide economic and social burdens, but these burdens do not affect
Ethiopia to close its borders for refugees. Through Ethiopia’s Refugee Proclamation No.
409/2004, Ethiopia with its all limitations has been committed to upholding public interest,
that is to continue opening its borders for refugees under any circumstances.
