“The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission, UN agencies and other stakeholders will also be given an opportunity to make general comments on the review of Zimbabwe.”
Zimbabwe presented its national report on November 2 last year and received 260 recommendations from various UN member States on several human rights issues.
“Out of these recommendations, the Zimbabwean delegation supported 142, noted 18 and deferred 100 in order to allow for further consultations at national level,” said Mrs Mabiza. “The deferred recommendations have since been considered and 14 of these now enjoy the support of Government, while 86 have been noted.
“In the final analysis, therefore, Zimbabwe supports a total of 156 of the recommendations made, while 104 have been noted. The Zimbabwe delegation looks forward to a fruitful and constructive interaction with the Human Rights Council. The Government of Zimbabwe remains committed to the promotion, respect, protection and fulfilment of the fundamental rights and freedoms of its people and will continue to interact with the Human Rights Council and participate in the UPR process.”
