these rights.

To institute a secular government that respects the equality of all religions and beliefs and to curtail those religious activities dangerous to stability and harmonious co-existence of peoples of all races and faith. The official Oromian state policy shall be no politics in religion, and no religion in politics.

4. To set up legal system that is free from the influence of executive body and guarantee fundamental human right, not only of those who are citizens but also of those who seek refuge due to the absence of
the rule of law in the country of their birth.
