Abstract
Freedom of Expression is becoming a theme of growing importance and visibility in
Uganda. The study will aim at investigating how freedom of expression is commonly
violated and what recommendations are currently being enforced in the effort of curbing
the evermore increasing violation cases of this fundamental right in Uganda. It will
tiniher explore the gaps or contradictions in the existing and new laws that limit the
enjoyment of freedom of expression in Uganda- which in return is expected to trigger a
comprehensive review of these laws in addition to enforcing them- while drawing from
the domestic, regional and international laws. Qualitative methods will be used in this
research with interviews and content analysis being central.
This research proposal will identify and generate a list of recommendations among other
things that the government of Uganda should follow or adhere to with regards to
fostering an enjoyable enviromnent for freedom of expression as clearly laid down
under the constitution, and international laws. Secondly, that the laws prohibiting
freedom of expression in Uganda should be increasingly revised, to meet the
international standards by way of revoking clauses that are hostile and unfriendly to the
enjoyment of freedom of expression.
