Abstract: On August 17, 2009, the Eritrea-Ethiopia Claims Commission issued its Final Awards on the claims of the two sides for injury and loss suffered during their 1998-2000 conflict. These Awards dealt with a number of important issues concerning the responsibility of states in armed conflict and the method by which the resulting damages are to be evaluated and compensated. This article reviews the main elements of these Awards and compares them to the results of other international claims processes in modern armed conflicts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
