ZIMBABWE is among the nations which are attending the United Nations International Conference on Sanctions, Business and Human Rights in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Zimbabwe delegation is being led by the Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, Honorable Ziyambi Ziyambi, who is expected to give a presentation this morning calling for the United States to remove the sanctions it imposed on Zimbabwe.
Honorable Ziyambi is also expected to brief the house on how sanctions are affecting the generality of Zimbabweans, as opposed to the claims by the United States and its Western allies that the embargoes are targeted.
The two-day international Conference on Sanctions, Business and Human Rights, co-organised by the Special Rapporteur on the Negative Impact of Unilateral Coercive Measures on the Enjoyment of Human Rights, Professor Alena Douhan, and Group of Friends in Defence of the Charter of the United Nations, aims to unite diverse stakeholders in addressing the complexities surrounding unilateral sanctions.
