To the United Nations • The Secretary General should establish a Commission of Inquiry to identify those responsible for planning and carrying out Operation Murambatsvina and whose actions violated the human rights of hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans. • The Secretary General should call on the government of Zimbabwe to provide internally displaced persons with protection from and remedies for alleged human rights abuses. • The UN Country Team should place human rights protection at the centre of all interactions with the government of Zimbabwe.
