Janmyr Civil Militias in Uganda NJHR Aug 2014.Pdf (150.8Kb)
Nordic Journal of Human Rights, 2014 Vol. 32, No. 3, 199–219, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/18918131.2014.937203 Recruiting Internally Displaced Persons into Civil Militias: The Case of Northern Uganda Maja Janmyr* Researcher, Faculty of Law, University of Bergen, Norway This article explores the state-sanctioned recruitment of internally displaced persons (IDPs) into civil militias in northern Uganda between 1996 and 2006. Drawing upon international and Ugandan domestic law, as well as empirical research in Uganda, it provides an illustrative case study of the circumstances in which IDPs were mobilised into an array of civil militias. By applying a framework elaborated by the UN Commission on Human Rights, it discusses, and subsequently determines, the lawfulness of this mobilisation. When doing so, the article highlights how, in Uganda, civil militias were dealt with completely outside of domestic law, despite repeated calls from Ugandan MPs to establish their lawfulness. It finds that government authorities long denied any liability for the conduct of the militias, and argues that the uncertain position of the civil militias created plenty of room for unmonitored conduct and substantial human rights abuse. Keywords: Military recruitment; forced recruitment; civil militia; civil defence forces; auxiliary forces; internally displaced persons; Uganda 1. Introduction Military recruitment in the context of displacement has taken place on almost every continent and constitutes one of the most problematic security issues within refugee and internally displaced persons (IDP) camps.1 Refugees and IDPs have long been recruited by both state and non-state actors, forced or otherwise. At the same time, from the perspective of international law, one form of recruitment – recruitment into civil militias – is particularly understudied. -

Land Politics and Conflict in Uganda: a Case Study of Kibaale District, 1996 to the Present Day
7 Land Politics and Conflict in Uganda: A Case Study of Kibaale District, 1996 to the Present Day John Baligira Introduction This chapter examines how the interplay between politics and the competing claims for land rights has contributed to conflict in Kibaale district since 1996. It considers the case of Kibaale district as unique. First, as a result of the 1900 Buganda Agreement, 954 square miles of land (mailo land in Luganda language) which constituted 58 per cent of the total land in Buyaga and Bugangaizi counties of present Kibaale district was allocated by the British colonialists to chiefs and notables from Buganda. It is unique because there is no other district in Uganda, where most of the land is statutorily owned by people from outside that district. Second, people from elsewhere migrated massively to Kibaale district to the extent that they constitute about 50 per cent of the total population. No other district in Uganda has so far hosted new settlers constituting such a high percentage of its population. The chapter argues that the massive immigration and acquisition of land, the existence of competing land rights regimes, and the politicization of claims for land rights have contributed to conflict in Kibaale district (see map 1). 7- Land Politics.indd 157 28/06/2017 22:54:21 158 Peace, Security and Post-Conflict Reconstruction in the Great Lakes Region of Africa Map 7.1: Location of Kibaale district in Uganda Source: Makerere University Cartography Office, Geography Department, 2010 The ownership of mailo land in Buyaga and Bugangaizi counties by mostly Baganda was vehemently opposed by the Banyoro who considered themselves the original land owners. -
