FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT, RIGHT OF ASYLUM, AND PROHIBITION OF MASS EXPULSION (Article 12) Constitutional Guarantee Freedom of movement and the right to choose one‟s residence is guaranteed under the Constitution and subsidiary legislation. The Constitution (Article 32) stipulates that any Ethiopian or foreign national lawfully in Ethiopia has, within the national territory, the freedom of movement and freedom to choose his residence, as well as the freedom to leave the country at any time he wishes to. This is a clear departure from previous laws which demanded Ethiopians to obtain an exit visa from the government when leaving the country. All Ethiopian nationals have the constitutional right to leave the country and to return back. A person may only be prevented from leaving the country by an explicit court order given in accordance with the law. Special laws such as refugee and immigration laws have been enacted for the full enjoyment and implementation of this right. With regard to minors, the law states that the guardian shall fix the place where a minor is to reside. The minor may not abandon such place without the authorization of the guardian, if he does so, the guardian may compel him to return. Policy measures The Policy on Democratic System Building and the other Policies and Strategies provide the basis to promote freedom of movement and right of refugees to seek asylum and protection from mass deportation.
