    Abstract:
    This document reprints provisions of Ethiopia's 1987 Constitution. Article 10 calls for protection of an ecological balance and natural resources and encouragement of aggregation of scattered rural population sites. Article 13 claims state ownership of key production, distribution, and service enterprises as well as natural resources. Article 20 identifies the family as the basis of society and calls for special care on the part of the state and society in rearing children. Article 33 provides for the granting of asylum, and article 34 gives immigrants the rights, freedoms, and duties determined by law. Article 35 provides that Ethiopians are equal before the law and that this equality is realized through equal participation. Article 36 notes that women and men have equal rights but that women will require special support in order to participate on an equal basis with men. The state is responsible for instituting appropriate health services and measures to protect women during pregnancy and maternity. Spouses are given equal rights in family relations, and marriage is protected by the state. Additional articles give Ethiopians the right to free education, to health care, and to freedom of movement. Ethiopians also have the duty to protect and conserve the environment and Ethiopia's natural resources.
