<jats:p>In <jats:italic>Gramara (Private) Ltd. & Others v. Government of Zimbabwe & Others</jats:italic> (‘‘<jats:italic>Gramara</jats:italic>’’)<jats:sup>1</jats:sup> and <jats:italic>Von Abo v. Government of South Africa</jats:italic> (‘‘<jats:italic>Von Abo</jats:italic>’’),<jats:sup>2</jats:sup> the legitimacy of Zimbabwe’s land reform program has once again come under the judicial microscope. In <jats:italic>Gramara</jats:italic>, Judge Patel of the Zimbabwean High Court refused to enforce a decision of the Southern African Development Community (‘‘SADC’’) Tribunal that declared the program inconsistent with a range of human rights protections. By contrast, in <jats:italic>Von Abo</jats:italic>, Judge Prinsloo of the South African High Court virulently condemned the South African government’s failure to afford the applicant farm-owner diplomatic protection in relation to the government of Zimbabwe’s confiscations of land owned by South African nationals. The decisions throw into sharp relief both the potential and the limitations of the application of international law in the domestic context.</jats:p>
