of the measure was to affect adversely an identifiable group of Zambian citizens by reason of their common ancestry, ethnic origin, language or cultural habits. The allegedly offensive provisions in the Zambia Constitution (Amendment) Act, 1996 do not seek to do that. FOR THE ABOVE REASONS, THE COMMISSION Finds that the Republic of Zambia is in violation of Articles 2, 3(1) and 13 of the African Charter; Strongly urges the Republic of Zambia to take the necessary steps to bring its laws and Constitution into conformity with the African charter; and Requests the Republic of Zambia to report back to the Commission when it submits its next country report in terms of Article 62 on measures taken to comply with this recommendation. Done at the 29th Ordinary Session, held in Tripoli, Libya from 23rd April to 7th May 2001.
