  • Lesotho 2019 Human Rights Report
    LESOTHO 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Lesotho is a constitutional monarchy with a democratic parliamentary government. Under the constitution the king is head of state but does not actively participate in political activities. The prime minister is head of government and has executive authority. In 2017 former prime minister Pakalitha Mosisili of the Democratic Congress Party lost a vote of no confidence and a snap election. All major parties accepted the outcome, and Motsoahae Thomas Thabane of the All Basotho Convention Party (ABC) formed a coalition government and became prime minister. Mosisili transferred power peacefully to Thabane, and Mathibeli Mokhothu assumed leadership of the opposition. Local and international observers assessed the election as peaceful, credible, and transparent. The security forces consist of the Lesotho Defense Force (LDF), the Lesotho Mounted Police Service (LMPS), the National Security Service (NSS), and the Lesotho Correctional Service (LCS). The LMPS is responsible for internal security. The LDF maintains external security and may support police when the LMPS commissioner requests assistance. The NSS is an intelligence service that provides information on possible threats to internal and external security. The LDF and NSS report to the minister of defense; the LMPS, to the minister of police and public safety; and the LCS, to the minister of justice and correctional service. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces. The Southern African Development Community (SADC) Preventive Mission in Lesotho contingent of troops, deployed to foster stability as the government moved forward with SADC-recommended security-sector reforms, departed the country in November 2018. In May the government did not meet an SADC deadline for completion of constitutional and security reforms.

  • Human Trafficking in Lesotho: Root Causes and Recommendations
    SHS/CCT/2007/PI/H/7 Lesotho is mainly a country of origin and transit for human trafficking activities and the country experiences internal and international human trafficking flows. The main actors involved in this crime are the trafficked persons, the traffickers and the users of trafficked victims. These people end up being part of the human trafficking chain because of various reasons that are either push or pull factors. Pull factors might include a demand for domestic and sexual services or economic differentials POLICY PAPER that make even relatively poor neighboring cities, regions or countries seem a likely Human Trafficking source of livelihood. Push factors mainly include poverty, gender discrimination, lack No 14.6 (E) of information and education, HIV and AIDS, violence against women, harmful socio- in Lesotho: cultural practices and lack of legislative and policy frameworks. The infrastructure and trends associated with a rapidly globalizing world – such as increasingly open borders, better transport, and increased overall migration flows – complement the Root Causes forces of supply and demand that underlie trafficking. Globalization has provided and ReCommendations the impetus to both those who wish to migrate and those who traffic the unwilling. Women and children tend to be the most vulnerable to human trafficking as they very often carry the burden of poverty. The laws that are currently in place in Lesotho are inadequate. Furthermore, it is not helpful to enact laws without giving the law enforcement agents the capacity to do so. The Child and Gender Protection Unit, which should play a key role in the fight against trafficking, is under-funded, under-staffed and lacks sufficient trained personnel to deal with this specialised area of law enforcement.
