Abstract
Any system or tribunal that exercises judicial power in a democratic society must
comply with certain minimum standards for the administration of justice. These
standards are embedded in the right to a fair trial which undoubtedly is the most
important prerequisite for ensuring justice in the adjudication of cases. This dissertation
examines the extent to which Uganda's military justice system complies with the right
to a fair trial.
It is argued that despite attempts at reform, Uganda's military justice is somehow stuck
in its historical origins and falls short of complying with some of the basic principles of
human rights.
This dissertation appraises and points out other areas that require reform and provides
recommendations which can help to make Uganda's military justice system compliant
with the rule of law particularly concerning the right to a fair trial.
