- ItemDisarmament and human rights violation in Karamoja Region: a case study of Kotido town council, Kotido District, North Eastern Uganda(Kampala International University,College of Humanities and Social Science, 09-2016) Lochoro, Albina AkwarStudy was conducted on the Impact of Disannament on Human Rights violations in Kotido town council Kotido District — Karamoja sub region. I decided to carry out on this particular topic due to the prevailing issues on Human Rights violations in the area. The purpose of the study was to examine the Impact of Disarmament on Human Rights violation in Kotido town council. Therefore a sample was drawn to represent the entire population, it consisted of 120 respondents both males and females from various categories and groups such as the rural parishes, education committee, town council technical staff, politicians and the private sector. The study was both quantitative and qualitative, Sampling methods used were simple random sampling using lottery method, stratified random sampling and judgmental method, and the main instruments used for data collection were questionnaires, interviews, observation and focus group discussions. Based on the findings, it was observed in the relationship/correlation between Disarmament and Human Rights violation that Disarmament leads to Arbitrary Searches, Arrests, and Detentions, Torture and ill- treatment, Looting and Destruction of Property, Unlawful Killings and Excessive Use of Force. Looking at the major causes of Human Rights violations during Disarmament exercise, it was found out that the major causes of Human Rights violations during Disannarnent exercise are, Ignorance of the locals over their rights, Absence of strong leadership, Absence of Human Rights commission in the local communities which lead to Torture and death, Thefi and destruction of property among others like, unlawful killings, and arbitrary detention during cordon and search. Later, it was found out that the solution to this is through Re-instating voluntary Disarmament, Punishing the Human Rights violators, and Introducing a neutral body. Lastly I came up with some possible recommendations on areas pertaining Human Rights violations in the district like for example the government has to compensate victims of unlawful killings, torture, ill treatment, arbitrary detention, and looting by the government forces and to set up an independent commission to study the district situation.

- ItemThe role of women in post war development and administration of Juba Town, Southern Sudan(Kampala International University; College of Humanities and Social Science, 2006-09) Nafuoni, Karlo P.The study aimed at analyzing and describing the role of Women in the post war development of Juba Town, South Sudan. It covered two main Women Organizations in Juba: Women Desk Department of the Archdiocese of Juba, and the General Women Union Association of Juba. Women Desk department is purely Catholic, while the general Union is a multipurpose or comprises of different denominations. The study was confined on these two departments because it was easier to collect the necessary information needed. The also aimed at how to combine skills women have, together with those of men to bear fruit more effectively on development programmes. Among the traits studied were the educated workingwomen, who qualified for the Questionnaire, and the uneducated working class who were interviewed through the discussion guide. The findings indicated that women in Juba have undergone many difficulties during the War, which are hindering them from full participation in the development process. However, it was found out that despite all these challenges, women can perform well based on their endurance of hardships during the war - and this can only be materialized when given the chance of empowerment, and full participation in the development process of Juba town. The recommendations advanced included: stopping of violence against Women, providing proper education for women, involving full participation of women in decision-making process, creating unity among women, forming women groups, bringing the perpetrators to court for justice, availing government support to women, and rendering respect towards women. Women can contribute to bring change in Juba, because they managed to keep their families during the War. They have potential which need to be put to practice only through empowerment and full participation. The past experiences need to be abandoned and a new chapter must be opened. More Research is needed on such phenomenon in order to fully realize the positive role women can play in the development of south Sudan in general and Juba Town in particular.
