victims and ensuring their participation in policy formulation. Ten principles were adopted under Truthtelling with emphasis on comprehensiveness, inclusivity and victim participation. On Institutional Refor ms, seven principles were adopted covering vetting, oversight bodies, structural and legal refor m, security sector refor m, disarmament, demilitarisation and asset recovery. After the adoption, stakeholders agreed to carry the adopted principles further to the broad stakeholder base and to continually refine the principles. It is in line of that recommendation that the NTJWG now presents this set of principles to the people of Zimbabwe. The main objective is that these principles become a point of further discussion on how Zimbabwe must frame the policy on transitional justice. While some policy makers may use different terms to refer to measures with which our society tries to build sustainable peace, in substance, these principles outline the fundamental pillars upon which there is a general agreement that without such, our society cannot function justly, equitably and sustainably. It is in the spirit of cooperation and dialogue that we present these principles to the people of Zimbabwe. It is ever yone's duty to take up these principles to the next level – translating them to policy and practice. The NTJWG continue to make itself available as the inclusive space for continued dialogue among stakeholders, and willing partners for policy makers.
