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 Prof Pierre de Vos of the Faculty of Law, University of the Western Cape, Cape Town South Africa. The general objective of the study is to assess the role of culture and traditions as stumbling blocks in the legal reform that would lead to the decriminalization of same-sex sexual intercourse. Focuses on the sodomy laws in Africa with specific reference to Uganda. Compares the Ugandan and South African legal regimes. Uganda is chosen because it represents one of the African countries where same-sex unions are specifically prohibited by the Constitution. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ Centre for Human Rights LLM 2008-06-10T05:43:04Z 2008-06-10T05:43:04Z 2007 Mini Dissertation Singiza, DK 2007, Exorcising the antiquity spirit of intolerance : possibilities and dilemmas of decriminalising sodomy laws in Uganda, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/5851> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/5851 en LLM Dissertations Centre for Human Rights, Law Faculty, University of Pretoria 345756 bytes application/pdf application/pdf University of Pretoria |
