Title   Zimbabwe's Non-Governmental Organizations Bill: out of sync with SADC standards and a threat to civil society groups
Author Human Rights Watch
Published New York; London: HRW
Year 2004-12-03
Pages 20
Serial HRW Briefing
Abstract The Zimbabwe government’s draft law to regulate non-governmental organizations, the NGO Bill, threatens the existence of civil society groups in the country. Scheduled for a vote in parliament next week, the bill substantially restricts freedom of association and thus falls far short of the Southern African Development Community’s principles to protect human rights during elections.
