Some countries recognize trade union rights only for those workers in the private sector and deny these rights for public sector employees. Other countries follow a procedure whereby a limited category of workers are entitled to trade union rights provided in labour law. There are also countries that recognize trade union rights for most sectors such as civil servants, teachers, journalists, medical personnel and even the police. Countries with liberal legal framework may extend the recognition of trade union rights protection to workers in the informal sector including domestic workers. Assessing the scope of protection provided for government employees (civil servants) in Ethiopia is the main aim of this article.

It takes a collaborative effort and synergy of powers. The role played by NGOs, working in the field of human rights, in complimenting this effort can neither be undermined nor ignored. Infact, they have been and continue to be at the forefront of each battle fought to uphold the protection of human rights both at the international and national level. However, recently their role is being threatened and undermined by regulatory mechanisms put in place by governments. An increasing number of states are adopting legislations, under the disguise of fostering and regulating the not-for-profit sector, aimed at stifling the work of NGOs functioning in the field of human rights, democratization and good governance. This research paper is therefore a very humble attempt to give insight to incapacitating regulatory mechanism and their effect on the function of NGOs based on international human rights standards and supported by a comparative case study of laws regulating NGOs in Ethiopia and Ghana.
