Eritrea Ethiopia Claims Commission, Partial Awards, Civilian Claims, Eritrea’s Claim 15, 16, 23 & 27-32
Facts
In May 1993, a new state of Eritrea (P) was admitted to the United Nations after persons of Eritrean origin voted overwhelmingly in favor of creating the new state from a portion of Ethiopia (D). Those eligible to vote were those with Eritrean “national identity card”. After the 1998-2000 border war between the two countries, Ethiopia (D) expelled approximately 66,000 people who had voted for the creation of the new state on the premise that since they had voted, they were Eritreans nationals and under international law, they were the enemies’ nationals. But to this, Eretria (P) claimed that they had never relinquished their Ethiopian nationality and were being unlawfully denationalized and expelled however, the claims commission which was established by both countries concluded that those who had voted and were still living in Ethiopia were dual nationals-meaning they acquired Eretria nationality by voting and retained Ethiopian nationality by continuing to live in Ethiopia (D) and receive the benefit of Ethiopian nationality.
