The rights enshrined in article 28 of the Constitution are non derogable and the courts must apply them. The accused persons are afforded all these rights to enable them defend themselves in court; to afford them human dignity and to promote self-respect these rights are applied, the accused persons would have been accorded a fair, speedy and public hearing Once this is done it helps the inmates in their rehabilitation and integration into society since justice would not only have been done but would have been seen to be done to them. There is always a need to show the accused persons that society cares of them and that they have a social responsibility. Mediation system in Uganda have for a long time been provided by both stole and non-stole actors without any comprehensive policy backing from the Government. Due to lack of a national legal aid policy and a comprehensive legal .framework to guide mediation provision, dispute resolution services in Uganda are currently provided in an adhoc manner using, various models of service delivery. | en_US |
