Between 2000 and 2004, the Forum documented over 3,500 cases submitted by its members. The database is violation focused, with 16 categories of violations (and four sub-categories of torture), and includes detailed categorisation on the victim, perpetrator, location of incident etc. Brief narratives relating to the violation are also included on the database. In addition, the Forum has a separate press-clipping database compiled from Harare-based newspapers, which focuses on reported incidents of violation and not individuals. Media Monitoring Project of Zimbabwe The Media Monitoring Project of Zimbabwe, which was established in 1999, monitors Zimbabwe’s broadcast and print media (all national papers and most regional papers), and has constructed a considerable electronic archive, with over 70 different categories. The MMPZ gives specific attention to human rights issues, and records all reports relating to a range of civil and political violations. This is an important resource that can be used to identify additional cases, corroborate existing sources, and identify patterns and trends of repression, organised violence and torture. The MMPZ also records media reports relating to gender, hate speech, food security, media repression, information rights, the security and intelligence forces and elections. This provides an important spectrum of subjects that can be examined in relation to issues of organised violence and torture. The MMPZ produces a weekly report disseminated electronically that assesses a range of thematic and topical human rights issues, relating to policy, legislation, specific violation, political, social and economic developments, hate speech, propaganda and so on. These reports are submitted to the Forum. The MMPZ is in the process of designing a new relational database that will require a detailed review of existing data. Transparency International Zimbabwe Transparency International Zimbabwe remains a relatively new organisation and retains a focus on issues of governance as it relates to public sector corruption. The organisation is actively engaged in monitoring anti-corruption activities and is participating in efforts to strengthen anti-corruption legislation and programme implementation. Although the organisation is committed to broad human rights objectives, it does not collect or submit case material to the Forum. It does not provide regular public reports. Consequently, an examination of the relationship between corruption, anticorruption initiatives and human rights violations remains a pressing priority. Zimbabwe Civic Education Trust The Zimbabwe Civic Education Trust is a member of the Forum, but does not provide regular reports relating to specific human rights violations. Its current director is the former head of Zimrights. Zimcet has in the past been involved in civic education (democracy, voter education, human rights), but has focused its recent attention (since 2002) on the establishment of Peace Committees comprised of local political and social actors from various ‘sides’ of the conflict. There are now 57 across the country. Detailed information about what these Peace Committees are doing, the kinds of issues they are addressing and how they are addressing, however has not been forthcoming. Consequently, it is not clear whether the committees are dealing with violation issues ‘in-house’, what records they keep of them (if any) and whether they refer these matters to specific remedial mechanisms in the State or non-governmental sector. Although the regional Zimcet structures do compile reports, and Zimcet produces a monthly bulletin (primarily for internal distribution), these have not specifically addressed issues of justice and accountability. 33
