A/HRC/44/50/Add.3 63. Recommendations pertaining to amending the MPOA to remove the good practice safeguards against abuse by violent and spontaneous demonstrators and the PVOA to remove public interest safeguards may be difficult to implement as these laws are in sync with the Constitution of Zimbabwe. 64. The recommendation on cooperation with stakeholders is very noble and progressive as Zimbabwe continues to cooperate with its domestic and international stakeholders such as the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Human Rights Council mechanisms to improve its human rights situation. The Government is already working closely with the UN Country Team on several projects to entrench human rights based approaches in its human rights programming. VI. Conclusion 65. In conclusion, the Government of Zimbabwe appreciates the visit by the Special Rapporteur, but regrets the fact that the Special Rapporteur departed from his role of gathering evidence because in some instances he overstepped his mandate by becoming an active participant in a manner that eliminates objectivity. His use of subjective language and insinuations and references to unnamed sources as well as being over prescriptive renders the report unbalanced and biased towards certain opinions. 66. It should be noted, however, that although the Government of Zimbabwe is hamstrung by hostile foreign policies and sanctions, which have hindered expeditious constitutional development and legislative reform to ensure a robust civil and political human rights regime, it remains committed to discharging its responsibility of upholding the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association for the benefit of its citizens. 67. The Government remains grateful for the invaluable assistance that it continues to receive from UN Agencies and other development partners in its human rights programming activities. 14
