  • Civil Judge in Uganda: Remuneration Systems and Promotion Possibilities
    Civil Judge in Uganda: Remuneration Systems and Promotion Possibilities. How to Reward Efficient and Independent Decisions Asiimwe Jackline-Bainipai* Abstract This piece of work is discusses the systems of remuneration of judges and promotion possi- bilities as well as rewarding efficient and independent decisions in Uganda. The research finds that whereas these three form part and parcel of the core of an independent judiciary, and whereas there are adequate legal provisions, the enforceability is lacking due to the fact that there are high levels of interference by the executive in the function of the judiciary. The remuneration, reward of an efficient judge are largely dependent on paying allegiance to the executive and deciding cases in appeasement of the executive. Yet, the remuneration, promotion and reward are supposed to be on merit. They should also be established by law and not subject to arbitrary interference from the executive. This study has revealed how the executive has substantial impact on remuneration, promotion and reward of efficient judges. Judges that decide cases according to the law irrespective of the interests of the exe- cutive are sidelined in the promotions, remunerations and reward. The study makes relevant conclusions and recommendations. “The remuneration of the judges is not sufficient to induce the ablest lawyers in the prime of life to accept judicial office. If that state of affairs is allowed to continue it must have serious effect upon the administration of the law. It will impair those intel- lectual standards which have made our English legal system a great legal system; it will tend to impair that law abiding instinct which is the condition precedent for the maintenance of a high standard of civilization, and it will weaken the chief remaining guarantee for the prosecution of the liberties of that subject.”1 With reflection on the above statement on remuneration, this piece of work discusses remu- neration systems and promotion possibilities and how to reward efficient and independent judges from the Ugandan perspective.

It was clear that African countries needed support if they were to meet the requirements and aspirations enunciated in Agenda 21 as well as in Rio Declaration. Such support should be directed towards initiatives which develop demonstrative practices in making of environmental law with public participation, ownership of such laws by nationals and efficacious machineries for enforcement of such laws. The funds were provided to UNEP because of its established global mandate in capacity building in environmental law. But given that UNEP does not maintain country offices which would coordinate national level work in an intensive project, the Dutch Government proposed too that UNDP should be a partner in the project to derive benefits from the agency's experience in technical assistance and capacity building. This was to be the basis of the title of the project as UNEPIIJNDPIDutch Joint Project on Environmental Law and Institutions in Africa.

  • The Gender Bench Book
    THE GENDER BENCH BOOK WOMEN’S ACCESS TO JUSTICE IN UGANDA A PUBLICATION OF THE JUDICIARY FIRST EDITION SEPTEMBER 2016 Published by The Judiciary with support from the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) and funded by the Embassy of Sweden. ii The Gender Bench Book 2016 Foreword Access to justice for women is a critical component of delivery of justice globally and at the national level. In Uganda, the Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS) conducted an audit in May 2011 which revealed, among other factors, the limited capacity of the judiciary to deliver gender-sensitive justice to the general population of Uganda, and more specifically to women. Although a number of training sessions on gender justice have been conducted for judicial officers, some of the court procedures and judgments clearly demonstrate their inability to translate the gender training into concrete benefits for women. The major reason identified for this gap is the lack of tools for thejudiciary to make court processes and judgments more gender-sensitive. In the JLOS work plan, under the Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) III (2011 - 2016), one of the key strategies identified for addressing this gender capacity gap in the judiciary was the development of gender bench briefs for judicial officers to use and refer to in adjudication of cases. TheGender Bench Book presents judicial officers with local and international best practices, including recommendations from treaty bodies such as the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. It offers guidelines for use by court officials when determining cases wherewomen’s rights are involved.
