London - Archbishop Desmond Tutu said on Sunday he would support international intervention to stabilise Zimbabwe and called on the African Union to unite in rejecting President Robert Mugabe's new administration.

"I think that a very good argument can be made for having an international force to restore peace," he was quoted as saying by the BBC in an interview to be aired on Sunday.

African Union leaders are due to meet on Monday. Mugabe is expected to be sworn back into power in Zimbabwe on Sunday.

"If you were to have a unanimous voice, saying quite clearly to Mr Mugabe ... you are illegitimate and we will not recognise your administration in any shape or form - I think that would be a very, very powerful signal and would really strengthen the hand of the international community," Tutu said.
