Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission Strategic Plan 2015-2020 The Government is responsible for poverty eradication, and ensuring sustainable food security. Only the successful turn-around of the economy, will lead to greater institutional and domestic capacity to guarantee and protect basic Human Rights that are currently threatened by poverty. The Commission will raise attention to the urgent need to work with cooperating partners to implement programs that promote macro-economic stability and rapid economic recovery, sustainable growth and development. (Action Plan Ref: Output 11B) 10.8.4 Justiciability of Socio-economic rights - Socio economic rights are a new group of rights introduced by the new Constitution and these rights were previously not justiciable. There is still a general lack of awareness or understanding of these rights. The ZHRC will highlight socio-economic rights in its public education campaigns so that Zimbabweans are aware of their socio-economic rights. To date, the enforceability of these rights has not been tested in the courts. The ZHRC will therefore take an active interest in observing any future court decisions pertaining to socioeconomic rights. (Action Plan Ref: Output 13A) 27
