In Zambia, only the legislature (the group of people who make laws) has the power to create laws. This means that international laws (laws agreed upon by countries) don't automatically apply in Zambia. For example, if there are international agreements that protect workers' rights, those agreements won't provide any rights in Zambia until the legislature makes them part of Zambian law. This was clarified in a court case called Zambia Sugar Plc v Fellow Nanzaluka. In simpler terms, for international rules to matter in Zambia, they need to be made into local laws first.
