10 .RG]HUR$PDOXQJHOR+RXVHRSHQLQJ 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.
