Research and Discussion Paper on a TJ Framework for Zimbabwe Mapping, i.e. crossing the two variables “perpetrators” and “types of violations”, generates the following matrix: Figure 3-3: Perpetrator-violation-mapping The list of types of violations and perpetrators is not exhaustive; it includes only those types, which individuals/victims have reported. The number represents individual cases of violations The benefit of this analysis is that it identifies the types of human rights violations in Zimbabwe and their perpetrators. It shows that, at least in the analysed time, Zanu-PF perpetrated the highest human rights violations followed by the Zimbabwean Republic Police (ZRP), the riot police, the army, war veterans and the youth brigades. The lack of the rule of law in Zimbabwe is prevailing. The World Justice Project Rule of Law Index for 2017/ 2018 has ranked Zimbabwe at 108 just above, Cameroon, Egypt, Afghanistan , Cambodia and Venezuela.18 The Freedom House Index for 2018 has stated that Zimbabwe is, regarding civil and political rights including civil liberties, not a free state.19These rankings indicate that Zimbabwe needs to adhere to the rule of law in order to deal with past human rights violations and to guarantee non-recurrence. 18 World Justice Project Rule of Law Index , 2017–2018; https://worldjusticeproject.org/sites/default/files/documents/WJP-ROLI-2018-June-Online-Edition_0.pdf 19 Freedom in the world 2008, freedom house; https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedomworld/2018/zimbabwe 11 DRAFT
