Abstract
This is a study of Zimbabwe's National Peace and Reconciliation Commission Bill (hereafter
NPRC Bill). The NPRC Bill seeks to bring the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission
(hereafter NPRC) of Zimbabwe into operation. The NPRC is a truth commission set to promote
post-conflict justice, national peace and reconciliation in Zimbabwe. The study discusses the
prospects of establishing an effective NPRC in Zimbabwe by examining the provisions of the
NPRC Bill. The view of the paper is that, without proper guidance from a comprehensive law,
the NPRC is bound to be a victim of its own failure.
