	ASIL Insight: Alien Tort Claims Act re R. Mugabe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)

	Is Robert Mugabe a dictator? \| World dispatch \| Guardian Unlimited

		But it is Mr Mugabe's repeated defiance of the courts that has raised greatest concern because it opens the way to almost any abuse, including an attempt to cling to power beyond the 2002 presidential election that he is almost certain to lose.
		Mr Mugabe's actions have led to a widespread view at home and abroad that the Zimbabwean government no longer considers itself bound by the rule of law - that the president is, in effect, a dictator.
