The Declaration of Rights also states that courts and other relevant authorities must consider international law, which includes all treaties and conventions accepted by Zimbabwe. According to Madhuku, the two main purposes of freedom of association in labour law are to protect an individual's right to form, join, and participate in an association and to protect the association from undue interference by the government once it has been formed.
THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE JUDICIAL SERVICE COMMISSION TO THE JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE, INTEGRITY, TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY AND THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE JUDICIAL SECTOR, 2022

It resonates well with the doctrine of the rule of law. An independent Judiciary is the crux of the rule of law. The Judiciary is required to act in a transparent and accountable fashion in the implementation of judicial functions. The judicial system in a nation is fundamental to the safeguarding of human rights and freedoms. The judicial system is an essential check and balance on the other branches of government, ensuring that laws of the legislative and the acts of the executive comply with international human rights and the rule of law. This premise is based on an assumption that the judiciary acts in a way separate from the other members of the trias politica,2 namely members of the executive and legislative organs of the State. This paradox is embedded in an excessive emphasis on judicial independence which creates the danger that authoritarian regimes may achieve a cloak of legitimacy for their laws by having them enforced by independent judiciaries.
