Zimbabwe: Hold Mugabe accountable for 'crimes against humanity'

Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe should be held accountable for crimes against humanity, delegates attending the Second World Bar Conference of the Forum for Barristers and Advocates heard in Cape Town on Tuesday. "What is happening there could be summed up as a gross violation of human rights and Robert Mugabe and his henchmen must be made accountable for crimes against humanity," said Dato' Param Cumaraswamy, the former United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers.
