6.0 Institutional Reform 1. Vetting a. Public employees who are personally responsible for gross human rights violations or serious crimes under international law must be excluded from public service to reestablish public trust and re-legitimise public institutions. b. Vetting must not be solely on the basis of group or party afliation as this tends to cast the net too wide and to remove public employees of integrity who bear no individual responsibility for past abuses. c. In vetting, there is need for a strategic approach targeting critical areas 2. Oversight a. Oversight bodies must be established to maintain a check on institutions that may have a bearing on the enjoyment of rights. b. Such agencies should be given as broad a mandate as possible, which must be clearly outlined in the Constitution or any other legislative text. In principle, there must be measures that guarantee such bodies of independence and pluralism, methods of operation and additional principles of their semi-judicial competence. c. Oversight bodies must be accessible to the people, with ofces throughout the country at least in every district 3. Structural and Legal Reform a. There is need for comprehensive reform of all state institutions and agencies 49
