Foreword This set of Guiding Principles for Transitional Justice Policy and Practice in Zimbabwe is an outcome of a long dialogue among transitional justice actors in Zimbabwe spanning into the past two decades. This dialogue led to the birth of the National Transitional Justice Working Group (NTJWG) which is now charged with providing an interface between transitional justice stakeholders and the official transitional justice processes in Zimbabwe. In pursuit of a comprehensive and participatory transitional justice process in Zimbabwe, NTJWG has brought together over 48 organisations to deliberate and agree on these Guiding Principles. The details of these deliberations are captured in the report of the Stakeholders Conference on Transitional Justice Principles in Zimbabwe. The conference took place from 23 to 24 July 2015 in Nyanga. 48 organisations representing various transitional justice actors participated in the conference. The conference was structured along the six transitional justice themes: Institutional Reform, Reparations, Truth-telling, Gender, Justice and Accountability as well as Memorialisation. Delegates were divided into six respective committees. The list of the committees and members 6 is attached to this report. The committees deliberated through the discussion points presented by thematic leaders. The committee discussions and plenary sessions which followed produced the agreed principles for each thematic area. Under Justice and Accountability, stakeholders agreed on sets of principles to guide criminal prosecutions, amnesties, application of the principle of universal jurisdiction, restorative justice, civil litigation and some cross-cutting general principles. Under Memorialisation, the conference adopted two sets of principles; purpose related principles, as well as process related principles. In a landmark decision, the conference decided to change the name of the thematic area on gender and renamed it 'Women and Transitional Justice.' Under the newly named theme, a number of principles were adopted, many which cut across different themes to ensure meaningful participation of women and accurate documentation of their contribution and representation of women's issues. Under the reparations theme, delegates adopted eight key principles which mainly focused on restoration of the dignity of Guiding Principles for Transitional Justice Policy and Practice in Zimbabwe
