protection of human dignity serving as the foundation up on which many
other human rights are built. Different international and national law
protects privacy through legislation. The birth of FDRE constitution is
viewed as the most important events for the establishment of democracy.
The right to privacy and other similar fundamental human rights are granted
by this constitution. Any law, customary practice or decision of an organ of
state which contravenes this constitution shall be of no effect. Criminal code
of Ethiopia, anti-terrorism proclamation and anti-corruption proclamation
are laws which have a mandate of search and seizure through restricting
privacy. These laws stipulate the condition of search and seizure which are
inconsistence with the constitution and over restrict privacy. Our laws on
search and seizure are legally in line with international trends. the law
related to search and seizure is complex but not impossible to understand.

knowing the law to respect individual protection of privacy during search
