“…The Derg regime generally symbolized one of the most ruthless and bloody regimes in late 20th century Africa that, from 1975-78, unleashed a ‗red terror' campaign. This murder campaign and violence implemented through law -in the name of state‖ (Balint, 2012) generally decimated thousands of urban-based opposition groups and a generation of intelligentsia and also those dead in ethno-regional liberation wars (Tronvoll et al, 2009). After the demise of the Derg in 1991 by the military struggle of the ethno-regional groups, the victorious TPLF in alliance with other ethnoregional rebel groups established a coalition called EPRDF.…”

“…State crime does not exist as a concept in international law (Balint, 2011). As Balint (2011) argues, the law can be a companion to state crime when governments make laws that enable the perpetration of vast human rights violations. State crime encompasses large-scale harms, such as genocide, state-mandated murder and apartheid, carried out 'in the name of the state', frequently as part of nation building and nationalist projects (Balint, 2011: 3).…”

“…In the case of war crimes, legal processes must contend with the challenge of not just holding individuals to account for mass harm, but also the entire state (Balint, 2012). State crimes are when entire institutions are brought together in a systemic perpetration of human rights violations such as genocide, crimes against humanity and apartheid (Balint, 2012; Green and Ward, 2004; Ross and Barak, 2000; Rothe and Mullins, 2010).
