 Zimbabwe: Appeal to the Commonwealth Heads Of Government meeting, Coolum, Australia, 2-5 March 2002.

In talking about the inequity in the land distribution, the government seeks to draw attention away from more than 100 political killings, thousands of cases of torture, and the displacement of tens of thousands of Zimbabwean citizens committed by state-sponsored militias or state agents during the past two years.
As the UN Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers noted in his urgent appeal on 21 February 2001 to the Government of Zimbabwe, incidents of 'harassment, intimidation, attacks and threats against the independent judiciary and its judges' in Zimbabwe remain of concern to the international community.

In this way, poverty- related issues are viewed from the perspective of the exercise of human rights, demonstrating the inalienability of the right to not be poor, which goes beyond the political will of governments.
