On 9 December 2016, ZLHR officially opened its new home, KodzeroAmalungelo House, as the organisation continued to celebrate 20 years of its
existence. This event coincided with the annual commemoration of the United
Nations International Human Rights Day that is held on 10 December each
year. A total of 110 people attended the official opening representing CSOs,
the diplomatic community, beneficiaries, ZLHR members, members of the
law society, Judicial Service Commission and funding partners. The guest
speaker, Justice Moses Chinhengo, commended the work done by human
rights lawyers over the years who had worked tirelessly to promote and protect
human rights and encouraged the organisation to also deal with issues of
corporate complicity in gross human rights violations. The Charge d’Affaires
of the Royal Danish Embassy officially opened the building together with
the ZLHR board chairperson. The opening of the building did not only
provide an opportunity for ZLHR members and partners to celebrate the
opening of the new refurbished premises but also to reflect generally on the
achievements, and gaps that needed to be addressed, in contributing to the
promotion and protection of human rights.
