Truvada® was approved for use in prevention of sexually acquired human immunodeficiency virus in 2012. Consumers may require information about pre-exposure prophylaxis from pharmacists since consultation is free. The aim of the study was to assess pharmacists’ knowledge, perception and willingness to adopt pre-exposure prophylaxis. In this descriptive cross-sectional study, community and hospital pharmacists in Harare were interviewed using a standard questionnaire between September and October 2012. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis were used for data analysis. The response rate was 90%. Females comprised 47% of respondents. Most pharmacists had a negative perception about pre-exposure prophylaxis. Most pharmacists (94%) were willing to stock pre-exposure prophylaxis in their pharmacies. Cost, accessibility and increase in promiscuity were cited as major hindrances to future implementation. Only 58% of respondents were knowledgeable about pre-exposure prophylaxis. There is need for the government to increase accessibility and improve on awareness strategies for pre-exposure prophylaxis in Zimbabwe.Keywords: Truvada®, pre-exposure prophylaxis, pharmacist, knowledge, perception

The Lubanga decision, despite procedural missteps further anchors the prohibition of child soldiers and child auxiliaries under international law. Feminist criticisms of Lubanga misapprehend the potential of Lubanga to attain the types of legal victories feminists strive for. While one can criticize Lubanga as a matter of procedure, Lubanga methodically strengthens the prohibition of child soldiery. The prohibition of child soldiers, like the prohibition of wartime rape, forced prostitution, and child sex-tourism are or are becoming jus cogens norms. Lubanga contributes to this coherence of jus cogens and sets the stage for extension of its logic into other wrongs committed to children.

This comment examines Uganda's 2005 Access to Information Act, and points out a number of critical issues that have been left out of the legislation, and those that are likely to undermine its effective implementation. Several recommendations are made that would ensure that the Act is rendered more workable and effective within the context of existing conditions in the country.

This article examines the nexus between access to information and equitable gender participation in the context of good governance. It demonstrates that access to information and its flow mechanisms from the Uganda government to the public is not only gender insensitive but also inimical to practices of good governance. It also illustrates that the gender content and responsiveness of government policies and programmes, and the level of participation of women in their formulation and implementation cannot in their current fashion meaningfully influence good governance. It is argued that issues of ransparency and accountability in government are positively correlated with information access and equitable gender participation. The article thus advocates the restructuring of access and flow of public information to facilitate both men and women to meaningfully participate in the governance of their country.

本文探讨了善治背景下信息获取与性别平等参与之间的关系。它表明，乌干达政府向公众提供信息及其流动机制不仅对性别不敏感，而且不利于善政的做法。它还表明，以目前的方式，政府政策和方案的性别内容和响应能力以及妇女参与其制定和执行的程度不能对善政产生有意义的影响。文章认为，政府透明度和问责制问题与信息获取和性别平等参与呈正相关。因此，这篇文章主张调整获取和传播新闻的方式，以便利男子和妇女有意义地参与其国家的治理。东非和平与人权杂志，Vol. 14 (1) 2008: pp. 45-68

Generally speaking, a refugee is a person forced to leave home for certain specified reasons and who is outside the country of his or her origin and does not have its protection. It is currently estimated that between 20 and 40 million refugees are spread across the world due to forced and involuntary movements, and is thus one of the most traumatic problems facing the world today. Conflicts and other life threatening disasters occur daily, forcing people to flee their countries of residence to seek refuge in other countries for safety. Africa has the largest number of refugees, hence there is a need for a regional convention that will adequately provide a cushion for the problems that may arise from this deluge. As the name implies, the 1969 OAU Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugees' Problems in Africa seems to be such a desirable Convention. The Convention has many positive aspects, but leaves much to be desired in terms of tackling the basic problems encountered by refugees in Africa. There is consequently a need for a total overhaul of the Convention to make it more positively responsive to the contemporary challenges posed by refugee problems in Africa.

The paper analyses the central role played by the Malawian judiciary in the 2004 presidential and parliamentary elections. We argue that the judiciary assumed four crucial functions in the electoral process: it performed an accountability function, serving to “unblock the democratic channels” and secure the integrity of the electoral process (although not succeeding); it functioned as a safety-valve diffusing tension and averting violence; it served as an internal arbiter for political parties; and it provided political leverage for individuals and parties contesting the elections. Particularly in terms of the first two functions, the judiciary contributed positively to the electoral process. Nevertheless, the growing prominence of the courts in the political arena is cause for concern, reflecting a lack of trust in the political institutions. It also makes the courts vulnerable; the more political battles are channeled into the legal arena, the more tempting it becomes for the executive to assert control over the judicial branch.

HIV/AIDS is the main cause of death in Uganda. Access to ARVs is therefore a vital component of the right to health. Human rights treaties oblige Uganda to implement the right to health progressively within the available resources. Uganda has undertaken measures to fight HIV/AIDS though prevention, education, and support for people living with HIV/AIDS. Uganda has also committed to providing free ARV drugs to people in need. However, these measures are being threatened by the introduction of trade-related intellectual property (IP) laws that risk limiting affordability and access to ARVs. Structural, economic, social and human factors like poverty, low GDP, malnutrition, shortage of medical personnel and equipment for diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS and corruption have hindered access to ARVs. Questions remain unclear as to which categories of persons are accorded priority of access to free treatment access. The result has been a regression on the right to health.

艾滋病毒/艾滋病是乌干达的主要死亡原因。因此，获得抗逆转录病毒药物是健康权的重要组成部分。人权条约要求乌干达在现有资源范围内逐步落实健康权。乌干达已采取措施，通过预防、教育和支持艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者来防治艾滋病毒/艾滋病。乌干达还承诺向有需要的人免费提供抗逆转录病毒药物。然而，这些措施正受到与贸易有关的知识产权法律的威胁，这些法律有可能限制抗逆转录病毒药物的可负担性和可及性。贫穷、国内生产总值低、营养不良、诊断和治疗艾滋病毒/艾滋病的医务人员和设备短缺以及腐败等结构性、经济、社会和人为因素阻碍了获得抗逆转录病毒药物。仍然不清楚的问题是，哪一类人优先获得免费治疗。其结果是健康权的倒退。东非和平与人权杂志，Vol. 14 (1) 2008: pp. 69-103

In recent years, the wearing of the female Islamic dress (generally referred to as the hijab), or any feature of this dress such as the headscarf (khimar), face-veil (niqab) and the head-to-toe all enveloping garment (jilbab) has raised complex human rights issues particularly in the context of women's rights to freedom of religion and its manifestation, equality and nondiscrimination, education and work. This article focuses on the status of the hijab in Islam and selected recent cases concerning the wearing of the Islamic dress in schools. On the basis of these, two conclusions are made. Firstly, to prevent a person from making a choice to wear religious clothing (like the hijab) in public or private schools or institutions, in the absence of justification compatible with human rights law, may impair the individual's freedom to have or adopt a religion. Secondly, the general exclusion of women from schools or work on account of the Islamic dress might lead to further discrimination against girls and women in education and employment. A human rights perspective to the Islamic dress should involve as a starting point respecting choices of individual Muslim women to wear or not to wear the hijab. East African Journal of Peace and Human Rights Vol. 14 (1) 2008: pp. 148-200
近年来，女性伊斯兰服饰(一般称为希贾布)的穿着，或这种服饰的任何特征，如头巾(khimar)、面纱(niqab)和从头到脚的包衣(jilbab)，引起了复杂的人权问题，特别是在妇女的宗教自由及其表现形式、平等和不歧视、教育和工作权利的背景下。这篇文章关注的是头巾在伊斯兰教中的地位，并选择了最近关于在学校穿伊斯兰服装的案例。在此基础上，得出了两个结论。首先，在没有符合人权法的理由的情况下，阻止一个人选择在公立或私立学校或机构中穿着宗教服装(如头巾)，可能会损害个人拥有或接受宗教的自由。其次，由于伊斯兰服装而普遍将妇女排除在学校或工作之外可能会导致在教育和就业方面对女孩和妇女的进一步歧视。对伊斯兰服饰的人权观点应该包括作为一个起点，尊重个别穆斯林妇女戴或不戴头巾的选择。东非和平与人权杂志，Vol. 14 (1) 2008: pp. 148-200
