  • Zambia 2013 Human Rights Report
    ZAMBIA 2013 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Zambia is a constitutional republic governed by a democratically elected president and a unicameral national assembly. International and local observers considered national elections held in 2011 to be generally free and fair. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. Serious human rights abuses occurred during the year. The most important were abuses by security forces, including reports of unlawful killings, torture, and beatings; life-threatening prison conditions; and restrictions on freedom of speech, assembly, and association. Other serious human rights problems included arbitrary arrest, prolonged pretrial detention, arbitrary interference with privacy, government corruption, violence and discrimination against women, child abuse, trafficking in persons, discrimination against persons with disabilities and members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community, restrictions on labor rights, forced labor, and child labor. The government took limited steps to prosecute officials suspected of corruption or human rights abuses during the year; however, impunity remained a problem. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were several reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. After local police authorities were unable to apprehend three men suspected of several killings, the government directed the military to use deadly force against the suspects. On June 25, after a much-publicized investigation into the killings, army soldiers killed Mika, Fabian, and Stefan Mailoni in Mkushi District. The Human Rights Commission (HRC) criticized the killings. On June 14, soldiers belonging to the Zambia National Service shot and killed unarmed civilians Clement Muloongo and Pumulo Lungwangwa in Kampasa village during a scuffle over land rights.

  • Breaking Down Barriers for Improved Health of Young Generations: a Multisectoral Approach Side Event at the 136Th IPU Assembly Sunday 2 April 2017 1.30 – 3.00 P.M
    Breaking down barriers for improved health of young generations: A multisectoral approach Side event at the 136th IPU Assembly Sunday 2 April 2017 1.30 – 3.00 p.m. Windy Town room, first floor, Bangabandhu International Convention Centre (BICC) A light lunch will be served Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals will in large part depend on countries’ ability to adequately invest in the health of the largest adolescent cohort the world has ever seen. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development set ambitious targets for improved health and wellbeing as part of a comprehensive approach to eradicating poverty and stimulating development. The Every Woman Every Child (EWEC) Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (Global Strategy), launched by the UN Secretary‐General in September 2015, provides a roadmap for the achievement of the SDG targets related to women’s, children’s’ and adolescents’ health. The IPU has made a commitment to support the Global Strategy, pledging to engage the global parliamentary community in ensuring national accountability for results and for allocating resources for women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health from domestic sources. Improving health outcomes is dependent on many factors that fall outside of the health sector; research shows that about half of the gains in the health sector result from investments in other sectors. The EWEC Global Strategy, in line with this evidence, promotes an approach to ensuring adolescent health and well‐being that includes multisectoral approaches and innovative partnerships that account for social determinants and health‐enhancing sectors. While the evidence demonstrates that multisectoral policies and interventions are essential to achieving better health and wellbeing for adolescents, siloed structures, programmes and financing in most countries, and globally, often render this difficult.
