    PRE-ELECTION PERIOD AND THE VOTING; A LATER REPORT WILL

    DETERMINED THAT:

    -- THE ZIMBABWEAN PEOPLE VOTED IN LARGE NUMBERS, SHOWING
    DETERMINATION TO INFLUENCE THE FUTURE OF THEIR COUNTRY
    DESPITE VIOLENCE AND INTIMIDATION.

    -- ELECTORAL OFFICIALS DID NOT OPERATE IN AN OPEN AND
    TRANSPARENT MANNER, AND AS A RESULT FAILED TO SECURE THE
    CONFIDENCE OF BOTH THE POLITICAL PARTIES AND OF THE
    INSTITUTIONS OF CIVIL SOCIETY IN THE ELECTORAL PROCESS.

    -- ADMINISTRATIVE OBSTRUCTIONS IMPEDED THE WORK OF DOMESTIC
    AND INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS.  THIS WAS "NOT DUE TO
    ADMINISTRATIVE INCOMPETENCE BUT TO A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO
    REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INDEPENDENT MONITORING OF THE
    ELECTION."

    -- HIGH LEVELS OF VIOLENCE, INTIMIDATION, AND COERCION,
    PARTICULARLY BY ZANU-PF, MARRED THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN.
    "ZANU-PF LEADERS SEEMED TO SANCTION THE USE OF VIOLENCE AND
    INTIMIDATION AGAINST POLITICAL OPPONENTS AND CONTRIBUTED
    SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE CLIMATE OF FEAR SO EVIDENT DURING THE
    ELECTION CAMPAIGN."

    -- EU OBSERVERS' "OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF THE POLLING IS
    HIGHLY POSITIVE."  HOWEVER, THERE WERE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH

    ZIMBABWE ELECTIONS 2000

    INTERIM STATEMENT

    PIERRE SCHORI
    HEAD OF EU ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION

    INTRODUCTION

    THE PEOPLE OF ZIMBABWE HAVE VOTED IN LARGE NUMBERS IN THIS
    WEEKEND'S PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS. DESPITE A HIGH LEVEL OF
    VIOLENCE AND INTIMIDATION DURING THE CAMPAIGN, AND SERIOUS
    FLAWS AND IRREGULARITIES IN THE ELECTORAL PROCESS, THEY HAVE
    SHOWN A CLEAR DETERMINATION TO INFLUENCE THE FUTURE OF THEIR
    COUNTRY -- BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND THROUGH THE STRUCTURES OF
    CIVIL SOCIETY.

    THE EUROPEAN UNION AND ITS MEMBER STATES HAVE CO-OPERATED
    WITH ZIMBABWE POLITICALLY AND FINANCIALLY SINCE INDEPENDENCE
    IN 1980. THE EU IS THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
    ASSISTANCE. AS AN ACT OF COMMITMENT TO THE PEOPLE OF
    ZIMBABWE, THE EU DEPLOYED SOME 190 EXPERIENCED EU OBSERVERS
    THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, THE LARGEST INTERNATIONAL OBSERVER
    MISSION, WITH THE AIM OF CONTRIBUTING TO A MORE FAVOURABLE
                           UNCLASSIFIED

    PAGE 04        HARARE  03482  01 OF 03  261435Z
    CLIMATE FOR THE ELECTIONS. WE SEE OUR PRESENCE HERE AS A
    NATURAL CONSEQUENCE OF OUR SUPPORT FOR THE STRUGGLE FOR
    INDEPENDENCE; AND WE WISH TO BUILD A STRONG PARTNERSHIP WITH
    A PEACEFUL AND DEMOCRATIC ZIMBABWE.

    EU OBSERVERS WERE IN GENERAL WARMLY WELCOMED. THEY
    ESTABLISHED CONTACTS WITH POLITICAL PARTIES, LOCAL
    AUTHORITIES AND CIVIL SOCIETY. THEY ATTENDED SOME ONE
    HUNDRED POLITICAL RALLIES.  THE EU MISSION ALSO BENEFITED
    FROM CO-OPERATION WITH THE MONITORS AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL
    OBSERVER MISSIONS.

    THE EU ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION'S ASSESSMENT OF THE
    ELECTORAL PROCESS FALLS INTO THREE PHASES: THE ELECTION
    PREPARATIONS AND CAMPAIGN; VOTING AND THE COUNT; AND THE
    POST-ELECTION PERIOD. A FINAL REPORT WILL BE PRESENTED ON 3
    JULY 2000.

    THE PRE-ELECTION PERIOD AND THE CAMPAIGN

    IT IS CLEAR FROM THE DAILY REPORTS AND WEEKLY ASSESSMENTS
    MADE BY EU OBSERVERS IN EVERY PART OF THE COUNTRY THAT THERE
    WERE SERIOUS FLAWS AND FAILURES IN THE ELECTORAL PROCESS.

    THE BODY EFFECTIVELY RUNNING THE ELECTIONS, THE OFFICE OF
    THE REGISTRAR-GENERAL, DID NOT OPERATE IN AN OPEN AND
    TRANSPARENT MANNER, AND AS A RESULT FAILED TO SECURE THE
    CONFIDENCE OF BOTH THE POLITICAL PARTIES AND OF THE
    INSTITUTIONS OF CIVIL SOCIETY IN THE ELECTORAL PROCESS.

    THE ELECTORAL SUPERVISORY COMMISSION, WHICH IS
    CONSTITUTIONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING THE ELECTORAL
    PROCESS, WAS SYSTEMATICALLY RENDERED INEFFECTIVE BY BOTH
    LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE MEANS.

    CHANGES MADE TO THE ELECTORAL REGULATIONS ONLY DAYS BEFORE
    THE VOTE, TOGETHER WITH A SERIES OF DELIBERATE
    ADMINISTRATIVE OBSTRUCTIONS, SEVERELY UNDERMINED THE ABILITY
    OF DOMESTIC MONITORS TO CARRY OUT THEIR WORK. THE EU
    ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION REACHED THE CONCLUSION THAT
    THIS WAS NOT DUE TO ADMINISTRATIVE INCOMPETENCE BUT TO A
    DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
    INDEPENDENT MONITORING OF THE ELECTION. SIMILAR OBSTRUCTIONS
    WERE PLACED IN THE WAY OF INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS.

    VIOLENCE AND INTIMIDATION

    HIGH LEVELS OF VIOLENCE, INTIMIDATION AND COERCION MARRED
    THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN. AN ASSESSMENT OF VIOLENCE AND
    INTIMIDATION SINCE FEBRUARY 2000 MADE BY THE EU ELECTION
    OBSERVATION MISSION, TOGETHER WITH REPORTS FROM EU OBSERVERS
    OPERATING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY SINCE EARLY JUNE, INDICATE
    THAT ZANU-PF WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BULK OF POLITICAL
    VIOLENCE.
                           UNCLASSIFIED

    PAGE 03        HARARE  03482  02 OF 03  261435Z

    ZANU-PF LEADERS SEEMED TO SANCTION THE USE OF VIOLENCE AND
    INTIMIDATION AGAINST POLITICAL OPPONENTS AND CONTRIBUTED
    SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE CLIMATE OF FEAR SO EVIDENT DURING THE
    ELECTION CAMPAIGN. CALLS FOR PEACEFUL CAMPAIGNING AND
    EFFORTS TO RESTRAIN PARTY SUPPORTERS, INCLUDING THE WAR
    VETERANS, WERE OFTEN AMBIGUOUS.  OVERALL, THE CONDUCT OF THE
    GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED TO UPHOLD THE RULE OF LAW AND
    COMPROMISED LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.

    MDC SUPPORTERS WERE ALSO ENGAGED IN VIOLENCE AND
    INTIMIDATION, BUT THE DEGREE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY FOR
    SUCH ACTIVITIES WAS FAR LESS. MOREOVER, MDC LEADERS WERE
    CLEARER IN THEIR CONDEMNATION OF VIOLENCE.

    THE LEVELS OF VIOLENCE AND INTIMIDATION, AND THE ABILITY TO
    CAMPAIGN IN RELATIVE PEACE, VARIED CONSIDERABLY FROM ONE
    PART OF THE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER. EU OBSERVERS MONITORED
    SCORES OF POLITICAL RALLIES IN ALL PROVINCES OF THE COUNTRY
    ORGANISED BOTH BY ZANU-PF AND MDC.

    IN THE MAJOR CITIES, ALTHOUGH INTIMIDATION WAS FAR FROM
    ABSENT, THE CAMPAIGN WAS ROBUST. IN MANY RURAL AREAS,
    HOWEVER, THE LEVELS OF INTIMIDATION BY ZANU-PF WERE SO
    INTENSE AS TO MAKE IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE
    OPPOSITION TO CAMPAIGN.

    MEDIA COVERAGE

    DURING THE CAMPAIGN THE GOVERNMENT-CONTROLLED MEDIA DID NOT
    PROVIDE EQUAL ACCESS TO THE POLITICAL PARTIES CONTESTING THE
                           UNCLASSIFIED

    PAGE 04        HARARE  03482  02 OF 03  261435Z
    ELECTION. BOTH THE PUBLIC BROADCASTER, THE ZBC, AND
    GOVERNMENT-CONTROLLED NEWSPAPERS WERE USED AS PUBLICITY
    VEHICLES FOR ZANU-PF. THE ZBC FAILED TO ENSURE INFORMED
    POLITICAL DEBATE. PROPAGANDA CROWDED OUT THE REAL ISSUES OF
    THE CAMPAIGN. OPPOSITION PARTIES HAVE HAD TO RELY ON
    COMMERCIAL MEDIA ONLY.

    VOTING AND THE COUNT

    GENERALLY SPEAKING THE VOTING WAS CALM AND WELL ORGANISED.
    THE EU OBSERVER TEAMS, WORKING IN CO-ORDINATION WITH OTHER
    INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS, AND WITH THE SUPPORT OF CIVIC
    ORGANISATIONS, VISITED SOME 1,700 POLLING STATIONS OVER THE
    TWO DAYS OF VOTING, MORE THAN 40 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL.

    THEIR OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF THE POLLING IS HIGHLY POSITIVE.
    PRESIDING OFFICERS AND THEIR STAFF ON THE WHOLE WERE
    COMPETENT AND EFFICIENT.  THERE WERE, HOWEVER, SERIOUS
    PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE VOTERS' ROLL AND THE NUMBER OF
    INTENDING VOTERS WHO WERE UNABLE TO CAST THEIR BALLOTS.
    MOREOVER, AS A RESULT OF THE OBSTRUCTIONS PLACED IN THE WAY
    OF DOMESTIC MONITORS, THEIR EFFECTIVENESS WAS SERIOUSLY
    COMPROMISED.

    OUR VERDICT ON THE COUNTING PROCESS WILL BE MADE CLEAR AT A

    LATER STAGE.

    INTERIM ASSESSMENT

    IN SUMMARY, THE VIOLENCE AND INTIMIDATION DURING THE PRE-
    ELECTION PERIOD MUST BE CONDEMNED. THE COURTS SHOULD DEAL
    WITH ALL CASES OF HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE
    ELECTORAL PROCESS. THIS WILL BE ESSENTIAL IN HELPING TO RE-
    ESTABLISH RESPECT FOR THE RULE OF LAW IN ZIMBABWE.

    THE SERIOUS DEFECTS IN THE ELECTORAL PROCESS, PARTICULARLY
    IN REGARD TO THE VOTERS' ROLL AND THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY
    OF THE ELECTORAL AUTHORITIES SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS A MATTER
    OF URGENCY.

    WE BELIEVE THAT THE PRESENCE OF INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS HAD
    A CALMING AND STABILISING EFFECT.

    WE COMMEND THE IMPRESSIVE MANNER IN WHICH THE PEOPLE OF
    ZIMBABWE HAVE SHOWN THEIR DETERMINATION TO INFLUENCE THEIR
    OWN DESTINY.

    THE POST-ELECTION PERIOD

    OUR FINAL ASSESSMENT WILL COVER THE WHOLE PROCESS INCLUDING
    THE IMMEDIATE POST-ELECTION PERIOD. THE REPORT WILL BE
    PRESENTED TO EUROPEAN UNION MEMBERS STATES, TO THE EUROPEAN
    PARLIAMENT AND TO THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, AS WELL AS TO THE
    EUROPEAN DEVELOPMENT FUND (EDF) WHICH WILL MEET ON 5 JULY
    ¶2000. THE ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED WILL INCLUDE:

    RESPECTS THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE;

    -- HOW THE GENERAL ENVIRONMENT WITHIN THE COUNTRY
    ACCOMMODATES THE NEW POLITICAL REALITIES;

    -- THE MANNER IN WHICH THE POLITICAL FORCES WITHIN THE
    COUNTRY WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS CONFRONTING
    ZIMBABWE;

    -- THE EXTENT TO WHICH RESPECT FOR THE RULE OF LAW AND THE
    PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IS PROMOTED BY THE NEW
    GOVERNMENT; AND

    -- WHAT EFFORTS ARE BEING MADE TO ENSURE THAT POLITICALLY-
    MOTIVATED CRIMES AND ELECTORAL MALPRACTICE ARE PURSUED.

    WITH HIGH AUTHORITY COMES HIGH RESPONSIBILITY. THE PRESIDENT
    OF ZIMBABWE WILL HAVE TO PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN THE POST
    ELECTION PHASE.
