How was democracy voilanted in Zimbabwe
Answers
Explanation:
The human rights situation in Zimbabwe remained stable throughout 2014, though nonetheless vulnerable. Politically-motivated human rights violations continued, although cases decreased overall. The non-governmental organisation (NGO) Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) recorded fewer than 5,000 cases of politically motivated violations between January and November. This followed a continued downward trend over the past five years from 23,755 cases in 2008 to less than 5,000 in 2013. During 2014, ZPP reported that politically-motivated human rights abuses more commonly took the form of harassment and intimidation, rather than violent assault. The Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency recorded progress in the delivery of socio-economic rights, including areas such as maternal mortality, education outcomes and the use of improved drinking water and sanitation facilities. In other areas, there was limited or slow progress – in particular, progress on aligning laws with the new constitution remained slow. Concerns remained around repressive legislation, access to justice, media freedom, and harassment of human right defenders (HRDs).
