Madam Chair, I give notice that at the next sitting of the Council, I shall move:
That the Council -
(1) resolves in respect of Zimbabwe that -
(a) it deplores the flagrant disregard for the rule of law in failing to give effect to a High Court order and in failing to protect people seeking to exercise their fundamental right to peaceful demonstration;
(b) it deplores the manner in which racial tensions are being inflamed and manipulated for political purposes; and (c) it regards these orchestrated disturbances as a setback for regional integration within SADC and further regards such behaviour as an impediment to the African renaissance; and
(2) further resolves to inform the Consul-General of Zimbabwe of this resolution for onward transmission to his government.
