1.0 INTRODUCTION On 5 January 2018, the Government of Zimbabwe gazetted the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission Act (NPRC Act) operationalizing the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC). This set into motion a very important chapter in the history of Zimbabwe. In this Code of Inclusion, NTJWG advances the mandate given by stakeholders to ensure that the processes of transitional justice in Zimbabwe are aligned to the expectations of the people of Zimbabwe and meet the best international standards. In November 2014 (revised in 2015), NTJWG published the Minimum Standards for an Effective National Peace and Reconciliation Commission in Zimbabwe. Standard number 5 reads as follows: Inclusiveness, Public Information and Participation The legitimacy of the NPRC does not end with its constitutionality but perpetuates and strengthens in the manner in which it is going to conduct its work. The NPRC must strive to promote an inclusive national truth-seeking and healing process with greater public participation and transparency. No member of the Zimbabwean society must feel left out or deprived of information regarding the work of the NPRC. Measures must be put in place to ensure that the NPRC works with everyone who is willing to be involved and that the public is adequately informed of its work at every stage. Selected public hearings and debates must be broadcasted as wide as possible without interfering with the integrity of the process and with due consent from the participants. Inclusivity and participation must not be a token but a major priority allowing the NPRC engagements to take a genuinely national character. The NPRC must ensure that expediency does not come at the expense of meaningful participation of all interested parties. There must be a clear demonstration by the NPRC of its willingness to engage and facilitate meaningful and effective participation. This is not just about the availability of information, but also the structures and facilities that make information meaningful and accessible to everyone in all languages and locations. 1 THE CODE OF INCLUSION
