Refugees (Control) Act 303. Restrictions exist on the right to freedom of movement under Section 12 (1) of the Refugees (Control) Act, Chapter 120. These restrictions require refugees to reside within a reception area or refugee settlement. Passport Bill 304. Government is currently enacting a Passport Bill whose objective will be to legalise and control the issuance of passports. Previously, there was no legislation regulating the issuance of passports. 305. The State party does not in any way hinder the free movement of persons in Zambia and citizens to any part of the world, unless a person is facing criminal prosecutions in Courts of law. This is so because the person will be expected to attend Court regularly. The withdrawal of a passport is sufficient guarantee that the person will be available for court proceedings. Further, public officials can only travel on Government business abroad if they have been granted authority to travel by the Secretary to Cabinet. This must be distinguished from the travel of such public officials in their private capacity where Government authority to travel abroad is not necessary. B. JUDICIAL MEASURES 306. There are no judicial measures to report on. 125
