Time for accountability 29 Public officials and employees who are subject to criminal or disciplinary proceedings should be suspended from official duties during those proceedings. Any provisions on disclosure or repentance in order to encourage revelation of the truth should not provide for exemption from criminal or other responsibility. In the case of violations which constitute crimes under international law, there should be no amnesties, pardons or similar measures which prevent the emergence of the truth, a final judicial determination of guilt or innocence, and full reparation for the victims. 4. The government should ensure that victims receive reparation and have the possibility to seek redress in civil or other proceedings from those responsible for human rights violations against them. The right to reparation must apply to all injuries suffered by victims and must include measures of restitution, compensation, rehabilitation and satisfaction. 5. In order to ensure non-recurrence of human rights violations, the government should undertake a programme of institutional and other reforms to ensure respect for the rule of law and foster and sustain a culture of respect for human rights. This reform programme should be developed through a process of broad public consultations, including the participation of victims and other sectors of civil society. Public officials and employees, particularly those in the security forces, who are personally responsible for human rights violations should be removed from their posts according to procedures which comply with the requirements of due process. The Law and Order section of the Criminal Investigations Department of the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), which has appeared to operate under political instructions and without accountability to the ZRP command structures, should be disbanded. Members of the anti-riot police should receive comprehensive and ongoing training in how to comply with international standards on the use of force, including the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force or Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials. The government should ensure that non-state actors, such as “war veterans”, are not allowed to perpetrate human rights abuses and should bring to justice those who are suspected of responsibility for such abuses. Legislation and administrative regulations that have contributed to or legitimized human rights violations must be repealed or amended. In particular, steps should be taken to review and amend existing rules for the Amnesty International AI Index: AFR 46/028/2008
