Objectives
The aim of the Conference is to take stock of access to justice policies, laws and mechanisms and how these were impacting on access to justice for victims of ESCRs violations and abuses. The Conference will discuss the different mechanisms and remedies available to victims and how effective and efficient these are. This will cover both formal and informal mechanisms, as well as judicial and quasi-judicial systems, in addition to administrative mechanisms.
Participant information and structure
Expected outcomes
It is hoped that the Conference will contribute to ensuring that the access to justice mechanisms in Uganda address the needs of victims of ESCR violations and abuses. This will be achieved through the discussion of the successes and failures of the existing mechanisms, in addition to the best practices from comparative jurisdictions. The international standards will help to determine what needs to be done to improve our legal framework to make it deliver justice to victims. The Conference is expected to act as a platform networking by different stakeholders working on access to justice and ESCRs.
