CV
Endalew Lijalem Enyew is currently a researcher at the Norwegian Center for the Law of the Sea (NCLOS). His ongoing research relates to the project "Developing good ocean governance of the Arctic in times of unpredictable and rapid changes (DOGA)". He holds a PhD in Law and a Master of Philosophy in Peace and Conflict Transformation from UiT in 2020 and 2013 respectively, an LL.M. in Business Law from Addis Ababa University in 2011, and a law degree (LLB) from Hawassa University in 2009. Endalew completed both his LLB and LLM with great distinction, receiving a Gold Medal and a Top Scoring LLM Student Award respectively. He also received a diploma in Law of the Sea from the Rhodes Academy of Oceans Law and Policy (University of Virginia, 2015), and has taken one-year courses in Indigenous Studies at the Center for Sami Studies (SeSam) of the University of Tromsø, Norway (August 2013- May 2014).
While Endalew's academic qualification spans diverse fields of law and social science, his research for the last decade focuses on the law of the sea, human rights law, indigenous peoples' rights, and critical legal theory focusing on Third World approaches to international law (TWAIL ). Using the TWAIL as a theoretical and methodological lens, his PhD thesis explored 'The Rights of Indigenous Peoples to Marine Space and Marine Resources under International Law'. He has also widely researched on international human rights law and the rights of indigenous peoples in relation to marine space and marine resources, the indigenous model of ocean connectivity, indigenous rights and climate action, and indigenous peoples' rights to permanent sovereignty over natural resources. In his postdoctoral research, Endalew extended the utility of the TWAIL approach to examine the limits and possibilities of the law of the sea in addressing systemic challenges impacting developing States and indigenous peoples.
Endalew is the author of 2 books, namely "Indigenous Peoples, Marine Space and Resources, and International Law: The Interaction between the International Human Rights Law and the Law of the Sea" (Routledge, 2024), and "Piercing the Corporate Veil: Its Recognition and Application in Ethiopia", published by LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing (2014). He has also authored and co-authored several articles and book chapters on indigenous peoples' rights (focusing on international human rights law and the law of the sea), indigenous peoples and climate change, Third World perspectives on the law of the sea, restorative justice, and the Ethiopian criminal, company, and competition laws. His publications in these fields appear, inter alia, in Oxford University Press, Routledge, Hart, Edward Elgar, Arctic Review on Law and Politics, Bergen Journal of Criminal Law and Criminal Justice, African Journal of Conflict Resolution, LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing, Mizan Law Review, and Addis Ababa Student Law Review. In addition to publications, Endalew has also disseminated the findings of his research in various ways, inter alia, by giving presentations at national, Nordic, and international conferences on different occasions, and writing several blog posts at several blogs, including the NCLOS blog, Opinio Juris, and the blog of The Arctic Institute. Endalew has also been teaching various courses at different higher education institutions in Ethiopia, including Addis Ababa University (from 2009 to 2011) and at the Faculty of Law of UiT-The Arctic University of Norway (2015-2024).
