EHRM provides a platform to document, monitor, and report human rights violations, operated at ethiohrm.org as an independent .org initiative based in Maryland, United States. The Service is provided for documentation and advocacy purposes and is not legal advice.
This Service does not solicit or accept donations or any form of payment, and does not conduct charitable solicitation through this website.
You must be at least 18 years old (or have the consent of a parent or legal guardian) to submit content.

You are responsible for the content you submit. By submitting reports, evidence, or applications, you represent that you have the right to share that content, and you grant EHRM a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, review, store, and (for verified incidents) publish the information for the platform’s documentation and advocacy purposes, consistent with our Privacy Policy. Do not submit content you are not legally permitted to share.
Submissions are reviewed before publication, but EHRM does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any user-submitted content. Published information is provided for documentation and advocacy and should not be relied upon as legal or professional advice.
The Service may contain links to third-party websites (for example, video links submitted as evidence). We are not responsible for third-party content or practices.
The Service’s design, text, and software are owned by EHRM or its licensors and protected by applicable laws. User-submitted content remains subject to the license described above.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EHRM AND ITS VOLUNTEERS AND OPERATORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless EHRM from claims arising out of your content or your violation of these Terms.
We may suspend or remove content, or restrict access, that violates these Terms or applicable law.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Maryland, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
We may update these Terms; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
