Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Zimbabwe came into existence in 1980 following the Lancaster House Agreement (1979) that ended the civil war for political independence and racial equality. The negotiations leading to this agreemtn were considered to be a success, yet just two and a half decades later, the country is in crisis and there are on-going efforts to establish a new set of negotiations to restablish effective governance and avert widespread bloodshed. This paper examines the conditions established by the Lancaster House Agreement, questioning whether it was indeed the success that it is generally assumed to have been. It proceeds then to an examination of events throughout the 1980s and 90s that exacerbated the problems left unsolved at independence. Finally, it regards the current prospects for mediation, arguing that legacies of history in the period following independence are impeding attempts to find a solution. However, Zimbabwean citizens are suffering infringements of their human rights and they face serious threats to their security. The international community has a responsibility to protect Zimbabweans. Hopefully, history may provide answers to questions about the appropraite way to proceed.
