Protecting, Promoting and Enforcing Human Rights and Fundamental Freedom Capacity Building of the ZHRC through International, Regional and Local Workshops and for a [continued] African National Human Rights Institutions (NANHRI) and the Raoul Wallenberg Institute (RWI). The objectives of the course were to explain fundamental human rights concepts; identify the main international and regional sources of human rights; explain the roles and functions of National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) and how those roles may be further strengthened; and strengthen networking between NHRIs in the region. In addition, participants shared best practices such as nursery schools in the workplace, regular team building exercises for staff that ZHRC could adopt in order to enhance the execution of its mandate. 9.3.1 Referral Stakeholder Seminar, 16 April 2015 The ZHRC noted that it may be seized with cases wherein violations have occurred but it may not have the jurisdiction to handle the cases in question; or where, due to the nature of the violation, the ZHRC is not necessarily the ideal institution to handle such cases. In this regard, the ZHRC decided that there is need for a working relationship between itself and various organisations including government and the Civil Society to ensure that human rights are promoted and protected. The ZHRC held a Referral Stakeholder Seminar which was attended by 33 organisations. At the end of the seminar, it was agreed that the ZHRC negotiates and signs Memorandum of Understanding with relevant organisations on how the referral system would work. This referral system also entails organisations referring cases to the ZHRC where it is felt that human rights situation are best handled by the ZHRC. As such, the ZHRC has a working relationship with various CSOs and the Legal Aid Directorate and this is fundamental for the protection and enforcement of human rights in Zimbabwe. 9.3.2 Training on the prevention of Torture, 23-24 April 2015 The ZHRC also convened a two day training workshop for all members of staff of the ZHRC on the prevention of torture. It was noted that ZHRC staff come across torture issues in their various capacities hence the need for them all to be knowledgeable on torture and how it can be prevented. The ZHRC, it was noted, receives and investigates complaints from the public and these complaints may include allegations of torture by either the state machinery or private persons. It was thus necessary for the ZHRC to undertake this training so that they are fully equipped to deal with these cases. The ZHRC can also prevent torture especially where they are able to visit places of detention at any 36 Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission Annual Report 2015
