NPRC Watch, Issue 4, May 2018 38 NPRCWATCH “Amnesties are prima facie in violation of international law and promote impunity and recidivism. Zimbabwe's past amnesties have been subject to international condemnation. The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights in the case Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum versus Zimbabwe (245/2002) noted that amnesties have a tendency of robbing victims of their access to remedy.” www.ntjwg.org.zw from the Commission, during and after its work. The Act should have contained a provision compelling Government entities to make sure all information in their custody required by the Commission is made readily available in line with section 62 of the Constitution. The Act must also have made provisions for mechanisms for safe archival of the information and material collected by the Commission during its operations and clear mechanism for the speedy implementation of the recommendations of the Commission. There is a window of opportunity to address these anomalies in the regulations.
