Zim fails to explain human rights abuses

THE United Nations (UN) report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review of Zimbabwe says the country has failed to explain alleged human rights abuses and enforced disappearances.

The UN reviewed Zimbabwe’s human rights situation on January 12, 2022, through a troika comprising Armenia, Luxembourg and Namibia that was set up to facilitate Zimbabwe’s review process.

A list of questions, that were prepared in advance by Belgium, Germany, Liechtenstein, Panama, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland and the United States, were transmitted to Zimbabwe through the troika.
