A leading international lawyer yesterday called for Robert Mugabe to
be brought to trial for state-sponsored torture, murder and . amid
fresh claims that the government in Zimbabwe is abusing its legal
system to hold on to power. Mark Ellis, from the International Bar
Association, said there was enough evidence to bring Mr Mugabe before
the international criminal court in The Hague. "It is time that the
international community took decisive steps to assure the suffering
people of Zimbabwe that Mugabe and his cohorts will be held
accountable for their crimes," he said. "Files can be opened now and
evidence can be compiled to prepare for the trials." The UN commission
on human rights, now meeting in Geneva, declined to take action on the
reports of abuses in Zimbabwe. But Mr Ellis said the trend of
international justice was to make sure that there is no impunity for
rule
