What recent assessment has been made of the human rights situation in Zimbabwe? There are worsening political, economic, and human rights issues. The community here is concerned, especially about children dying from malnutrition.
We remain seriously concerned about human rights abuses in Zimbabwe. We have imposed sanctions on specific individuals responsible for human rights violations and engage with South Africa, the African Union, our ambassador in Zimbabwe, and local communities to address these issues. The new Foreign Minister will be engaged once he starts international engagements.
