MAY THREATEN MILLIONS Nicholas Goche, the minister of public services, labour and social welfare, claimed the decision to bar the relief agencies from distributing food was arrived at after ZANU-PF discovered that the “food was being used to campaign for the MDC”. Meanwhile, the MDC continues to be subjected to government pressure. MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai claimed at a media briefing on June 10 that at least 66 of his party’s supporters had been killed in election violence.

  • Canada Sanctions Zimbabwe
    Canadian Sanctions and Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe: Be Very Careful! By Mark Blumberg (January 7, 2009) Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe need to be extremely careful. It is not the place for a new and inexperienced charity to begin foreign operations. In fact, only Canadian charities with substantial experience in difficult international operations should even consider operating in Zimbabwe. It is one of the most difficult countries to carry out charitable operations by virtue of the very difficult political, security, human rights and economic situation and the resultant Canadian and international sanctions. This article will set out some information on the Zimbabwe Sanctions including the full text of the Act and Regulations governing the sanctions. It is not a bad idea when dealing with difficult legal issues to consult knowledgeable legal advisors. Summary On September 4, 2008, the Special Economic Measures (Zimbabwe) Regulations (SOR/2008-248) (the “Regulations”) came into force pursuant to subsections 4(1) to (3) of the Special Economic Measures Act. The Canadian sanctions against Zimbabwe are targeted sanctions dealing with weapons, technical support for weapons, assets of designated persons, and Zimbabwean aircraft landing in Canada. There is no humanitarian exception to these targeted sanctions. There are tremendous practical difficulties working in Zimbabwe and if a Canadian charity decides to continue operating in Zimbabwe it is important that the Canadian charity and its intermediaries (eg. Agents, contractor, partners) avoid providing any benefits, “directly or indirectly”, to a “designated person”. Canadian charities need to undertake rigorous due diligence and risk management to ensure that a “designated person” does not financially benefit from the program.

Examining alleged violators and their violations pre and post the Presidential Election March 2002 A report by the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum December 2002 Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Are They Accountable? The Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum (also known as the “Human Rights Forum”) has been in existence since January 1998. Nine non-governmental organisations working in the field of human rights joined together to provide legal and psychosocial assistance to the victims of the Food Riots of January 1998. The Human Rights Forum has now expanded its objectives to assist victims of organised violence, using the following definition: “Organised violence” means the inter-human infliction of significant avoidable pain and suffering by an organised group according to a declared or implied strategy and/or system of ideas and attitudes. It comprises any violent action, which is unacceptable by general human standards, and relates to the victims’ mental and physical well-being.” The Human Rights Forum operates a Legal Unit and a Research and Documentation Unit. Core member organisations of the Human Rights Forum are: · Amani Trust · Amnesty International (Zimbabwe) (AI (Z)) · Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace (CCJP) · Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe (GALZ) · Legal Resources Foundation (LRF) · Transparency International (Zimbabwe) (TI (Z)) · University of Zimbabwe Legal Aid and Advice Scheme · Zimbabwe Association for Crime Prevention and the Rehabilitation of the Offender (ZACRO) · Zimbabwe Civic Education Trust (ZIMCET) · Zimbabwe Human Rights Association (ZimRights) · Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) · Zimbabwe Women Lawyers Association (ZWLA) Associate Member: · Nonviolent Action and Strategies for Social Change (NOVASC) The Human Rights Forum can be contacted through any member organisation or through: 1.

Distortion and censorship 3. The most popular voices THE WEEK’S TOP STORIES ALTHOUGH there was a significant increase in the media’s coverage of the constitutional reform programme compared to last week as the nation awaited the launch of the Constitutional Parliamentary Select Committee’s outreach exercise (by 58% in terms of the number of stories), the quality of the coverage still raised more questions than answers. Although COPAC inserted supplements in the Press identifying team members and venues for the consultation meetings in many of the country’s wards, there was no timetable for these meetings or any reassurances about the security of those making submissions. None of the media followed-up COPAC’s advertising initiative and few thought to pursue other issues of evident concern. In other stories, the Kimberley Process monitor Abbey Chikane’s alleged certification of Chiadzwa’s controversial diamonds sparked mixed reactions in the media and competed for attention alongside news of fresh tension in the coalition, ignited by blatant attempts to undermine the office of the Prime Minister by senior members of the ZANU PF arm of government.

  • Problems Mount on Copac's Outreach Programme
    Defending free expression and your right to know The Media Monitoring Project Zimbabwe Monday August 30th – Sunday September 5th 2010 Weekly Media Review 2010-34 Contents 1. Top stories of the week 2. The media’s loudest voices 3. Human rights abuses Top stories of the week The visit by international music icons – US-based R&B singer Akon and his Jamaican Ragga counterpart, Sean Paul – as part of government efforts to rebrand the country’s battered image, hogged media limelight at the end of the week. But it was the crisis-ridden Constitutional Parliamentary Committee (Copac)’s consultation programme, bedevilled by funding and operational problems, which still received most publicity in both the government and private media during the week. Poor service delivery, especially by local government authorities and state-run companies, attracted significant media attention too. Fig. 1 illustrates this.

But the media inadequately handled this development by largely failing to shine light on why the donors had rebuffed financing the extension of the exercise. Neither did they clear the confusion over the real reasons behind the extension given Copac’s controversial announcement in the week that it had allocated only two days for the outreach exercise in Harare and Bulawayo after initially giving the impression that the additional 25 days were mainly to accommodate the outreach programme in the two cities.
