3. Identifying, Accessing and Collating Existing Human Rights Reports During the course of the research, over 500 reports were collected relating to the human right situation in Zimbabwe. These reports are broken down into a number of sub-categories: • Organised Violence and Torture – Pre-Independence • Organised Violence and Torture – Post-Independence • Organised Violence and Torture and elections • Organised Violence and Torture and Land • Organised Violence and Torture – Psychological/Psycho-social • Legal and Constitutional Considerations • Legislation • Judiciary and the Criminal Justice System • Media and Repression • Refugees and Migrancy • Social and Economic Violations • Food Security and Agriculture • Gender and Human Rights Violations Electronic and hard copies have been collected of over half these reports and a draft electronic database has been collated, with hyperlinks between the 50-page index of reports and the available reports that have been collected. This material is available on CD-ROM. It is intended that this resource will be further developed as we access more of the ‘hard copy’ material, which we intend to scan and make electronic copies of. A full listing and copies of the report will be subsequently made available to Zimbabwean civil society. 40
