  • Zambia’S Constitutional Court Shows It Is Strongly Independent
    Legalbrief | your legal news hub Friday 01 October 2021 Zambia’s Constitutional Court shows it is strongly independent Until almost the last minute, high-ranking foreign guests as well as ordinary Zambians were in the dark: would the presidential swearing-in ceremony for Edgar Lungu go ahead on Tuesday this week as scheduled? It all depended on the courts. It was touch and go: then, just hours before the event, came news that the High Court judge approached by the opposition to stop the ceremony had declined to grant the application, saying that as a single judge he lacked jurisdiction in the matter. And so Tuesday’s planned swearing-in took place after all, with the opposition United Party for National Development promising that this was not the end of the matter and that further court challenges could be expected. Zambia’s contentious 11 August elections have been dominated as much by the courts as by vote-casting. A new constitution, finalised before parliament was dissolved for the elections, was supposed to have made the polls and their results more stable. Among others, it provided for a two-stage process if required: a presidential candidate would have to win at least one vote more than 50% of the ballot in order to avoid going to a second round run-off. But what actually happened severely tested the efficacy of this provision. The Patriotic Front’s Lungu, who won the last elections by barely 28 000 votes, won 50.35% this time. His main rival, in this election and the last, Hakainde Hichelema, won 47.67% of the votes.

    Country Gender Profile Democratic Republic of the Congo Final Report March 2017 Japan International Cooperation Agency（JICA） IC Net Limited EI JR 17-045 Summary The Socio-Economic Situation and Gender in the DRC The General Social, Political, and Economic Situation of the DRC Conflicts following its independence and its oppressive dictatorship have become complex and prolonged owing to factors such as ethnic tension and disputes about control over mineral resources. The eastern part of the country is still unstable. Of the population in the DRC, which is blessed with vast land and abundant natural resources, 63% still live under the poverty line, and the economic inequality among the population is widening. Gender As indicated by the Gender Inequality Index and SIGI, gender relations in the DRC are determined by strong male-dominant gender norms. Women’s political participation is limited; women account for only 8.4% of the National Assembly and 4.6% of the Senate (2010), which is one of the lowest in Africa, and 6th from the bottom among 51 African countries. The 2015 revision of the electoral law dropped the 30% quota for women, which is considered a retrogressive sign. Women’s labour participation is high (70.7%), and almost the same as that of men (73.2%); however, women are in a more difficult situation than men. Women’s unemployment rate was 6.7% in 2014 while that of men was 9.4%. Women’s labour is concentrated in agriculture and the informal sector and gender norms limit their access to productive assets such as land and capital.

The ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) exerted considerable influence through its patronage and allotment of government resources. In a 2008 by-election, then-vice president Rupiah Banda was elected president in generally free and fair multiparty elections. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. Human rights problems included unlawful killings; torture, beatings, and abuse of suspects and detainees by security forces; official impunity; life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary arrests and prolonged pretrial detention; long trial delays; arbitrary interference with privacy; restrictions on freedom of speech, press, assembly, and association; government corruption; violence and discrimination against women; child abuse; trafficking in persons; discrimination based on sexual orientation and against persons with disabilities; restrictions on labor rights; forced labor; and child labor.

Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were no reports that the government or its agents committed politically motivated killings; however, security forces committed unlawful killings during the year. The Legal Resources Foundation (LRF), an independent human rights nongovernmental organization (NGO) that counseled victims' families and represented them in actions against the government, consistently investigated and publicized such incidents; however, the government rarely punished perpetrators.
