Abstract

The primary purpose of the article is to enrich the understanding of tort laws in Ethiopia and Eritrea and of how these laws deal with environmental issues. Its secondary goal is to clarify the affinities, often hidden, between the issues raised by tort law in developing countries at present times, and the same issues as they emerged in the Western tradition in the past.
