No judgement- South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal today reserved judgment in the appeal hearing that that South Africa was obliged under international law to probe alleged atrocities by officials in Zimbabwe. A lower court had ruled that the National Prosecuting Authority could prosecute Zimbabweans alleged to have committed atrocities if they ever set foot in South Africa.
