dc.description.abstractThis research explores mechanisms for enforcing human rights in Uganda, moving beyond traditional concepts of state sovereignty and the Responsibility to Protect. Despite Uganda having a good legal framework on human rights enforcement, it has failed to progressively realize the fundamental human rights and shields behind the clock of sovereignty, the study investigates the responsibility of Uganda as a sovereign state in protection of human rights viz-a-viz mechanisms for enforcing human rights as well as the legal and institutional framework on human rights and its efficacy, challenges and opportunities in enforcing human rights. The study used a doctrinal research methodology analyzing the primary and secondary sources of data. The study found out that the human rights environment in Uganda is unstable due introduction of claw back and restrictive human rights laws. The study concluded that in exploring the landscape of human rights enforcement in Uganda beyond state sovereignty and Responsibility to Protect, it becomes evident that a multifaceted approach is essential, while traditional framework emphasis state accountability, they often overlook the complexies of local contexts. The study thus recommended that there is a need for diplomatic engagement, capacity building and strengthening of the legal framework.
