This document consists of the 'Notes' (endnotes) section of Monograph 159, published by the Institute for Security Studies. It provides a comprehensive list of citations, legal references, and supplementary annotations regarding the legal system, human rights, governance, and criminal justice in Zambia.

• Zambia is characterized as a dualist state, meaning international treaties do not become binding domestic law until Parliament passes a specific enabling statute, a process known as 'domestication'. The document notes that Zambia has not strictly domesticated any international human rights treaties, although the government has acknowledged this issue through the National Capacity-Building Programme for Good Governance.
• The document references significant issues regarding judicial and political corruption in Zambia, including allegations that former President Chiluba bribed Chief Justice Ngulube with US$168,000, which led to the Chief Justice's early retirement.
• Zambia has a very young demographic profile, with individuals under the age of 18 making up more than 50 per cent of the total population.
• The document outlines the legal definition of 'seditious intention' in Zambia, which includes advocating for the unlawful overthrow of the government, inciting resistance to law, or promoting hostility between different communities or classes of the population.
• The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) is described as a voluntary self-monitoring tool for African Union member states intended to promote political stability, human security, sustainable development, and economic integration.
