This is a comment on the remedies available to victims of torture in Uganda. Against the backdrop of the evidence and procedures in the international and regional legal regimes, the paper analyzes the law relating to evidence obtained through torture in Uganda. It is shown that whereas torture is prohibited in Uganda, there is ample evidence to show that in practice, the vice is prevalent. The crux of the paper is a critical appraisal of the remedies available to victims of torture or their relatives in Uganda. East African Journal of Peace and Human Rights Vol. 14 (1) 2008: pp. 201-220
这是对乌干达酷刑受害者可获得的补救办法的评论。本文以国际和区域法律制度中的证据和程序为背景，分析了乌干达通过酷刑获得证据的相关法律。报告显示，虽然酷刑在乌干达是被禁止的，但有充分的证据表明，在实践中，这种恶习是普遍存在的。本文的关键是对乌干达酷刑受害者或其亲属可获得的补救措施进行批判性评估。东非和平与人权杂志，Vol. 14 (1) 2008: pp. 201-220

The South African Constitutional Court has given effective the economic, social and cultural rights in the South African Constitution by defining the nature of the obligations that they engender. In this respect, both the Constitution and the jurisprudence offer immense lessons to other domestic jurisdictions on the African continent and elsewhere. In spite of this, the approach of the Court still falls behind international jurisprudence in some respects. The most visible shortfall is rejection of the minimum core obligations approach which would obligate the state to provide to everyone a minimum level of goods and services. The Court has instead opted for a reasonableness review approach. However, the failure to give substantive content to the rights has made it impossible to fully interrogate the reasonableness of the means chosen by the state to realize the rights. This article proposes a proportionality test to be used to interrogate the means chosen to realize the rights, which is only effective after giving substantive content to the rights. The article also proposes ways through which the minimum core approach could be used without over burdening the state. The provision of a minimum core should be directed towards those who need it.

This article looks at the process of constitution-making in Kenya from 1990s to 2005 when the proposed new constitution (the product of the process) was rejected in a national referendum held in October 2005. It avers that Kenyan women had succeeded in getting many of the issues that they considered important included in the constitution and should have lobbied to have that constitution adopted. The defeat of the constitution, the authors assert amounted to throwing away the baby with the bath water. It also negated gains that seemed so close to being realised setting the quest for gender equality back considerably. East African Journal of Peace and Human Rights Vol. 14 (1) 2008: pp. 1-44
本文检视肯亚自1990年代至2005年的制宪过程，2005年10月的全民公决否决了新宪法提案(制宪过程的产物)。它声称，肯尼亚妇女已经成功地将许多她们认为重要的问题纳入了宪法，并且应该游说通过宪法。宪法的失败，作者断言等于把婴儿连同洗澡水一起倒掉。它还否定了看似即将实现的成果，使对性别平等的追求大幅倒退。东非和平与人权杂志，Vol. 14 (1) 2008: pp. 1-44
