This book is based upon the authors' long-term research and advocacy work for human rights in Eritrea. The direct inspiration for the book is a commissioned study undertaken by Kjetil Tronvoll on behalf of the Oslo Centre for Peace and Human Rights in 2009. The President of the Oslo Centre, Mr Kjell Magne Bondevik, former Prime Minister of Norway, had at that time just stepped down as a UN Special Envoy to the Horn of Africa and wanted to continue his human rights engagement in the region – thus commissioning a report on the dire situation in Eritrea. Thanks are thus due to Mr Bondevik and the Oslo Centre for commissioning the initial report. This book, however, is based upon an expanded and updated manuscript.
Several individuals have served as research assistants to this work, and special thanks go to Annie Golden Bersagel, Anette Frölich, Dag Rune Sameien, Tarana Riddick, Ann-Therese B. O. Kildal and Natasha Telson.
The International Law and Policy Institute (ILPI) has a dedicated Eritrea research group of some of the world's leading experts on human rights and political development in Eritrea.
