Zimbabwe's Government said it will not seize any more foreign-owned farms after losing multimillion-dollar compensation claims under a treaty aimed at protecting overseas investments.
President Robert Mugabe started giving white-owned farms to landless blacks over a decade ago, leading to the unintended result of devastating food output.
An estimated 4000 farmers were thrown off their land without compensation and, while efforts to get legal redress in Zimbabwe failed, some have sued in international courts.
