A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa). Prepared under the supervision of Dr Ben Kiromba Twinomugisha of the Faculty of Law, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda. This dissertation intends to analyse the practice of amnesties in the context of grave human rights violations using northern Uganda as a case study. It also examines its consistency with the obligation upon states to protect human rights through the prosecution of perpetrators of the said violations. It will, accordingly, analyse the implications of the complementary mandate of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to national jurisdictions. Furthermore, the author also explores the tension which results from national amnesties and the principle of international criminal responsibility, a principle that the ICC has the mandate to enforce. http://www.chr.up.ac.za Centre for Human Rights LLM 2008-05-22T11:16:12Z 2008-05-22T11:16:12Z 2007 Mini Dissertation Kameldy, N 2007, Challenging impunity in northern Uganda : the tension between amnesties and the principle of international criminal responsibility, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/5448> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/5448 en LLM Dissertations Centre for Human Rights, Law Faculty, University of Pretoria 599465 bytes application/pdf application/pdf University of Pretoria |
