Today, 10th December 2023, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights turns 75.
Restoration
of Human Rights (ROHR) Zimbabwe joins the rest of the world in commemorating
the day on which the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted and
proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in December 1948.
In line with this year’s theme, “Freedom,
Equality and Justice for All”, we take this opportunity to urge the State in Zimbabwe
to stop being the perpetrator of human rights abuse and to start upholding and
respecting all the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, the African (Banjul) Charter on Human and People’s Rights and the
Constitution of Zimbabwe.
We note with concern that the rights of
the citizens and residents of Zimbabwe have been sacrificed on the altar of
political expediency by the State and ZANU-PF in Zimbabwe since independence
and that many state-sponsored atrocities, including an arguable genocide, enforced
disappearances, incarcerations, abductions and murder, have been and continue
to be committed.
We also urge the citizens and residents
of Zimbabwe to join us in our continued fight for human rights in Zimbabwe and
to guard their rights jealously in their daily endeavours.
Human rights are everyone’s rights.
