(Kampala International University, School of Law, 2010-10) Kanyike Bwete, Fred
AIDS was first identified in Uganda around 1982 in the District of Rakai .The early responses to the epidemic were the establishment of the AIDS control program [ACP] in 1986 which was coordinated by the ministry of health. The program concentrated mainly in areas of heath, care, information, education and communication. Thus, AIDS was tackled as a medical issue and other sector had limited participation in the control of the epidemic. By the early 1990, it was realized that the epidemic was not restricted of specific categories of people or classes but had infiltrated the general population Of Uganda sexually active adults and adolescent in Uganda. Evaluation of AIDS prevention measures revealed that while a large percentage of population was knowledgeable about AIDS, its causes and how to avoid it positive behavioral change was happening at a much slower rate than infection. It was therefore realized by the Government and the policy makers that narrowly focused prevention strategies were likely to neither stop the spread of the infection nor address the effect of HIV I AIDS on people living with HIVI AIDS and that there was need therefore to dynamic and adopt new strategies. A multi-sartorial approach encompassing all areas was therefore adopted by the Government, through the Uganda AIDS commission in 1992 to address all other political, economic, social cultural, legal and ethical aspects of epidemic in addition "to medical and scientific aspects of the disease. Currently, its estimated that there are at least 1.5million people already infected with HIVIAIDS. Despite the reported stabilization of prevalence rate of HIV I AIDS in limited urban areas, inflected in 1995 HIV/ AIDS its surveillance report, the infection rate are still high. The rights of those are infected and affected with HIV I AIDS continue to be violated throughout the country without adequate legal protection in place. Today, the AIDS epidemic is still threatening the future of this country. There is no cure in prospect and yet the war can't be lost.

When this happens, the employee is not entitled to any legal remedies except his wages earned during the period when the contract existed. The latter period of the contract is marred by the breaching conduct which severs the employee's entitlements.

Analysis of the causes and implications of child marriages in Uganda: a case of Luweero District
(Kampala International University.College of Law, 2017-10) Jamiru, Ssesanga
The past two or so decades in Uganda have witnessed a surge in incidents of early or child marriages. This research attempts to analyze the age-old practice from the lenses of the sociocultural dynamics. In so doing, these dynamics are understood or at least perceived to create a socio-economic classification of "superiority" and "inferiority" amongst males and females respectively. As such, female bodies are viewed as mere objects and in this context "sexual objects" that men can use at any time of their choosing and pleasure. Of major discomfo1t to the analysis shall therefore be the role played by culture and socio-economic factors on the surge of child maniages. My conclusion therefore is that through the spectacle of child marriages which unsurprisingly largely affects the girl child, society is trying to re-write the script of history underpinned by male domination and looking at the female gender using "sexual lenses".
An analysis of the effectiveness of migration law in Uganda
(Kampala international international: School Of Law, 2012-09) Kasifa, Nabirye
The law governing migration differs according to countries. Each country has its own laws about migration.

The analysis of the Land Tenure System in Uganda.
(Kampala International University, School of law., 2017-10) Tabingwa, Diana
Kampala exhibits informal urban expansion typical of cities in Sub Saharan Africa. Of note about Kampala's urbanization process is the extent of informality estimated to comprise about 60% of all urban developments. Though there exists a diversity of circumstances and factors that contribute to informal urban developments, this study focused on land tenure considered key in land development because being the rules underlying a people's relation to land, rules of tenure define rights to land, how these rights are accessed and even influence developments put on land depending on the security accorded to land rights. This study assessed the effect rules of tenure have on urban developments in Kampala by examining land access, land subdivision and land development processes (considered the three stages where informality can occur) in the land and property development process. Qualitative and quantitative methods including key informant interviews, household intervievvs, literature review, observation, in-depth interviews and case studies were applied in data collection. Research findings show that land in Kampala is held under the Mailo, Leasehold, Freehold and Customary tenure systems with Maio being the dominant land tenure system and Customary tenure being negligible. A defining characteristic of land holding in Kampala is the separation of land ownership from the ownership of developments on land, designed to accommodate rights of occupants (called Kibanja occupants) who own developments on land under the Mailo and Freehold tenure systems. Rights ascribed to occupants and processes proposed to administer these rights by The Land Act 1998 have never been real ised because they are contested by the registered land owners. This emerged as the cause of informal land access under the Mailo and Freehold tenure systems. Informality in land access is perpetuated in land subdivision and land development processes as the KCCA only approves subdivisions and developments on land with formal land ownership documents, in Kampala comprised of land under Leasehold tenure hut which constitutes less than 30Fo of overall land holding. To address informality in land access, land subdivision and land development processes under the Maio and Freehold tenure systems, the study identified positive aspects of the current informal structure applied in administering Kibanla rights especially the role played by Local Councils in registering, demarcating and adjudicating Kibanja rights which could form the basis on which the KCCA could build on (through formulation of subdivision and development regulations responsive to Kibanja rights and incremental implementation of planning standards on land under Kabanja occupancy) to achieve planned urban developments in spite of persisting conflicting tenure relations. These proposals made in view of the considerable time and financial resources it would take to resolve the disagreements over occupant registered owner rights as currently constituted and in light of the rising demand for land in Kampala caused by high population growth. Keywords: land tenure; land access; land subdivision; land development.

An analysis of the law regarding the rights of children and women with disabilities in Uganda
(Kampala International University; School of Law, 2019-03) Olek, Bosco
The study examined "an analysis of the law regarding the rights of children and women with disabilities in Uganda. People bear incredible political significance for states of asylum and states of origin. In the same way, protracted people caseloads operate as tangible evidence of sustained state negligence, violence, and responsibility. People are political, social and economic burdens to hosting states and can undermine the legitimacy of those in power in the state of origin. Children and women issues, as with other trans-sovereign issues, are managed through state cooperation and global governance mechanisms. The legal instruments and the bodies administering women protection are most heavily financed by and headquartered in developed/Northern/OECD states, while the absolute majority of people in states of asylum are in the northern part of Uganda. This thesis contributes to the investigation of how lack of oversight and legitimate veto points in women decision-making, together with disproportioned responsibilities and regional factors affecting states of asylum in Uganda, has allowed for international women Jaw to succumb to national interests and become increasingly instrumentalised by states to the detriment of women populations. The study finally advocates the responsible persons to improve on the living conditions of children and women with disabilities in the designated camps by ensuring that such persons are protected and the rights guaranteed. It should be the responsibility of the government of Uganda, International and Regional bodies and well as the rest of the world to ensure that the needs of these people are met. Uganda as a country is handicapped due to Jack of finances.
