Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001

Summary

Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001 - Declares it is U.S. policy to support the Zimbabwean people in their struggles to effect peaceful, democratic change, achieve broad-based and equitable economic growth, and restore the rule of law. Provides for certain bilateral and multilateral debt relief for Zimbabwe (including the establishment of a Southern Africa Finance Center for the development of commercial projects there and the Southern Africa region) upon the President's certification to the appropriate congressional committees that: (1) the rule of law has been restored in Zimbabwe; (2) certain election or pre-election conditions have been met; (3) the Government of Zimbabwe has demonstrated a commitment to an equitable, legal, and transparent land reform program; (4) such government is making a good faith effort to end the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo; and (5) the Zimbabwean Armed Forces, the National Police of Zimbabwe, and other state security forces have become subordinate to the elected civilian Zimbabwean government. Restricts multilateral assistance to Zimbabwe until such certification is made. Authorizes the President to waive such requirements if it is in the national interest of the United States. Authorizes the President to provide certain foreign assistance funds to Zimbabwe to support the establishment of democratic institutions, free press and independent media, and the rule of law. Urges the President to consult immediately with the governments of European Union member states, Canada, and other appropriate foreign countries on specified actions to be taken against individuals responsible for violence and the breakdown of the rule of law in Zimbabwe.
