The main objective of the East African Court of Justice Law Report (EACJLR) is to publicize the cases decided by the Court in a user friendly manner. This volume contains cases decided by the Court between 2012 and 2015. Each contains a case summary together with a list of legal instruments and cases cited plus the complete and unabridged ruling or judgment. However, the report does not include all references filed during the reporting period. This report was developed by the East African Court of Justice with advisory support of Raoul Wallenberg Institute and as part of a cooperation project financially supported through Swedish development cooperation. The content remains the responsibility of the East African Court of Justice.

Abstract Although Yoweri Museveni’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) has dominated Uganda’s political scene for over three decades, the capital Kampala refuses to submit to the NRM’s grip. As opposition activism in the city has become increasingly explosive, the ruling elite has developed a widening range of strategies to try and win urban support and constrain opposition. In this paper, we subject the NRM’s strategies over the decade 2010-2020 to close scrutiny. We explore elite strategies pursued both from the ‘top down’, through legal and administrative manoeuvres and a ramping up of violent coercion, and from the ‘bottom up’, through attempts to build support among urban youth and infiltrate organisations in the urban informal transport sector. Although this evolving suite of strategies and tactics has met with some success in specific places and times, opposition has constantly resurfaced.

  • The Institutional Framework of the EAC
    chapter 2 The Institutional Framework of the EAC Wilbert T.K. Kaahwa 2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 Conceptual Background In the law of international organizations such as the United Nations (UN), continental organizations such as the European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU) and regional organizations including the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) the term “institutional framework” often refers to the legal framework that guides the pursuit of such organizations’ objectives. The term can also refer to the sys- tems of formal laws, regulations, and procedures, and informal conventions, customs, and norms that shape socioeconomic activity and behavior. However for the purposes of this book, this Chapter will only highlight the formal orga- nizational set-up established by the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community (“the Treaty”). The second part, the legal framework of the EAC, will be discussed in Chapter 3. The importance and relevance of the institutional framework in the East African Community (EAC) can be traced to three facts. Firstly, the EAC has revived an inter-state co-operation system, whose historical antecedents and systematic development between 1967 and 1977 had given rise to an elaborate organizational framework of organs and service commissions. The Treaty for East African Co-operation 1967 had established institutions such as the East African Authority,1 the East African Legislative Assembly,2 Ministers of the Community,3 the Common Market Council,4 the Communications Council,5 the Economic Consultative and Planning Council,6 the Finance Council7 1 Articles 46–48.

  • Annual Performance Report 2013/2014
    THE JUSTICE LAW AND ORDER SECTOR ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT 2013/2014 FOREWORD The Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS) brings together 17 institutions responsible for administering justice, maintaining law and order and promoting the observance of human rights. JLOS is a significant innovation now in operation for over 14 years as a holistic Government approach focused on promoting the rule of law using a sector wide approach. The Justice Law and Order Sector in Uganda is rated as a huge success and a regional flag bearer in policy and strategic coordination in justice and law enforcement reforms. Embedded within the national planning framework and a rights based approach, the sector-wide approach(Swap) has grown from an initial local based pilot into a collaboration that draws together close to one third of government institutions. Steeped in this success, the JLOS intends to sustain this growth and its dividends. JLOS is now in the second year of implementation of the third sector strategic investment plan following the successful implementation of the first and second investment plans. The sector is proud to note that there is now a more developed system approach to evidence based budgeting with increased coordination, communication and cooperation in public service delivery and development assistance in the sector. There is growing public trust in JLOS service delivery as we strive to walk the talk of enhancing public confidence in the judicial process. The sector has also redefined the commercial and criminal justice system which is now the basis of reforms in other African countries and we have been rated the best in Africa and 4th in the World in terms of our offender rehabilitation programmes.
