The work of the Zimbabwe Democracy Trust (ZDT) is intended to give hope to the people of Zimbabwe; to raise awareness of the crisis in the wider world; to support the cause of good governance and democracy; to expose corruption and to assist in safeguarding the mechanisms of an open and democratic society.
The ZDT particularly looks to find ways in which the democracies of the world can act in solidarity with the people of Zimbabwe to stand up for the universal humanitarian principles and respect for human rights that their international treaties and conventions oblige them to uphold.
