Criminal justice system: a perspective for Uganda

Abstract

"Criminal Justice System – A Perspective for Uganda" by Ahimbisibwe stands as a seminal treatise that meticulously dissects the complexities of Uganda's Criminal Justice System. As an esteemed legal practitioner and an ardent advocate for human rights, I have had the honor of championing these principles both within the Ugandan Parliament and on a regional platform as a representative in the East African Legislative Assembly. I wholeheartedly endorse Ahimbisibwe’s incisive examination of the entitlements bestowed upon victims, suspects, and convicts, as well as the circumstances under which these rights have been upheld or egregiously neglected. My extensive experience in criminal law has afforded me a vantage point from which to appreciate the intricate challenges embedded in Uganda’s criminal justice framework, as so eloquently articulated in this volume. Ahimbisibwe's work is a masterful exploration of the labyrinthine nature of Uganda's criminal justice system, reflecting the author's profound commitment to rigorous research in this vital domain. In addition to delineating the myriad challenges facing Uganda, the author proffers astute recommendations for reforming the system. These proposals encompass enhancements to judicial efficiency, investment in rehabilitation initiatives, and the adoption of progressive methodologies such as restorative justice.
