Critically analyzes the existing legal framework for counter terrorism in Uganda and draws from relevant regional and international instruments related to the topic. In conducting this analysis, the author assesses the conformity of the antiterrorism legislation in Uganda in comparison with relevant African states. Uses regional and international counter terrorism frameworks. Also examines the human rights implications of practically enforcing these legislations. Lastly, the author compares international and regional human rights standards and best practices in combating terrorism in other parts of the world.
