Abstract: The international responsibility of states is a key concept in international law that refers to how states are accountable for unlawful or wrongful acts and non-prohibited actions. Given the complexities of international relations and the profound impacts of state actions on global security and welfare, this issue holds special significance. The aim of this article is to closely examine the international responsibility of states concerning wrongful acts as well as lawful and non-prohibited actions that may harm other states and individuals. This article analyzes the criteria for identifying wrongful and non-prohibited acts of states and explores the methods for determining international responsibility. The research question is how to identify and determine the responsibility of states regarding wrongful and non-prohibited acts, and what methods exist for compensating for incurred damages. The findings of this research indicate that even when actions are lawful, states must be accountable for their consequences. Additionally, the role of international institutions in supervising these responsibilities and determining compensation in cases of violations of international obligations is crucial. This research utilizes a descriptive-analytical method and contributes to a better understanding of the international responsibilities of states.

Abstract: The Horn of Africa, comprising Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Eritrea, Sudan, and Djibouti, is one of the most geopolitically significant yet unstable regions in the world. This paper explores the complex interplay of internal conflicts, regional power struggles, and the influence of global actors in shaping the region’s security and political landscape. Internal divisions, particularly ethnic tensions and contested political systems, have led to protracted conflicts, such as the Somali civil war, the Ethiopian-Tigray conflict, and ongoing instability in Sudan. These conflicts are further compounded by external interventions, with global powers like the United States, China, and the Gulf States seeking strategic and economic footholds in the region. China’s Belt and Road Initiative and military investments, along with the Gulf States' engagement in regional proxy wars, illustrate the heightened geopolitical competition. The African Union (AU) and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) have played critical roles in mediating conflicts and providing peacekeeping forces, but their efforts have often been undermined by internal political divisions and external pressures. The findings suggest that long-term stability will require more effective regional cooperation, stronger governance, and a balanced approach to external engagement that prioritizes peace over geopolitical rivalry.

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the impact of Chinese manufacturing investments on Ethiopia's economic diplomacy, focusing on industrialization, skills development, and trade relations. The objectives include analyzing the role of Chinese investments in Ethiopia's industrial growth, assessing the effectiveness of trade and investment agreements, and exploring the alignment between economic diplomacy and Chinese manufacturing. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis. Key stakeholders from government ministries, Chinese companies, and industry experts were interviewed to gather insights.

The study concludes that Chinese manufacturing investments have reshaped Ethiopia's economic landscape, fostering industrial growth, skills development, and enhanced trade relations. This symbiotic relationship underscores the importance of strategic economic engagements in achieving broader development objectives and strengthening diplomatic ties. Recommendations include diversifying industries, enhancing skills transfer, and fostering sustainable economic practices.
