In this three-year programme, human rights reports shall continue to be published and will be focusing on a number of campaign issues. On a six-month periodic basis, FHRI will audit a major human rights theme and present her findings in a timely and qualitative report while documentation of other breaches of rights will be an on-going activity that will culminate into an Annual Country Human Rights Status Report.
The areas of focus include freedom of expression, association and assembly including the media; extra-judicial executions; administration of justice; juvenile justice, disability, labor rights, police and prison conditions; torture; the post conflict in northern Uganda, conditions in internally displaced persons camps; electoral process, and cross cutting issues namely; gender, HIV/AIDS, minorities and refugees and the application of the death penalty within the criminal justice system in Uganda.
In every report, a set of recommendations made to the state organs indicating the appropriate action to be taken in order to eliminate human rights abuses in Uganda will be given. The reports not only create awareness on violations occurring in a particular sector of society, but are also used as approaches in gauging impact and benchmarking human rights progress. The reports are also tools used by others in order to sustain human rights advocacy within Uganda and to lobby the government to implement further reforms within a specific area of concern.
