The United Nations Human Rights Council has ordered an international investigation into abuses carried out during the conflict in Ethiopia.
The European Union had called for a special sitting of the council in Geneva after rights groups said violations committed during more than a year of conflict might amount to war crimes. Ethiopia has dismissed the move as politically motivated.
The UN rights council again warned that all sides in the civil war were committing severe violations. It said there was a risk to the entire region and called on all parties to pull back.
