Summary: The use of Emergency Powers and the Law and Order (Maintenance) Act was continued by the Mugabe government, but extended considerably by the Presidential Powers Act, and always finally the use of formal impunity and pardons to cover human rights violations. There remains a consistent pattern in Zimbabwe: of periods in which gross human rights violations are permitted and even encouraged, followed by the formal excusing of such violations by impunity.
