Abstract
The study analyzed the provisions in the various legislations and case law to establish their relevance and effectiveness in the promotion of human rights in Uganda. The researcher used a comparative analysis method to arrive at his conclusions inter alia that there is no effective legislative frame work for the institution of cases of public interest litigation on the promotion of human rights in Uganda as the country does not have a specific law on public interest litigation cases. The laws on public interest litigation are lacking as the laws have lots of Lacuna. Even the institutional framework is facing a number of challenges. The researcher winds up this research with recommendations for improvement while suggesting an urgent need for the passing of public interest litigation legislation.
