This report recommends a range of fundamental reforms that the power-sharing government
should undertake to improve the human rights situation in Zimbabwe. Without these
institutional and legislative reforms, as well as the establishment of genuine respect for the
basic rights of all Zimbabweans, there can be no long-term, sustainable peace and stability
in Zimbabwe. These changes will also finally allow Zimbabweans to elect leaders of their
choice. And once these reforms are in place, Zimbabwe will be better placed to attract
international development assistance and private sector investment.
