Court

Case number

Judge
Musa Ssekaana, J
The court found that the application did not raise issues for constitutional interpretation, nor did it establish a violation of the applicant's human rights to dignity or freedom from cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment. The applicant's claims were based on subjective distress and historical grievances, without demonstrable harm or objective evidence of rights infringement. The court emphasized that enforcement of human rights requires more than personal sentiment; it must be substantiated by facts meeting an objective threshold. While acknowledging the applicant's grievance regarding col…

Court
HC: Civil Division (Uganda)

Miscellaneous Cause 21 of 2023
Judge
Boniface Wamala, J
The court held that both applicants had locus standi to bring the application for enforcement of human rights under Article 50 of the Constitution and the Human Rights (Enforcement) Act, as locus standi is based on the claim of violation, not relationship or direct interest. The pleadings disclosed a cause of action against both respondents, as the Human Rights (Enforcement) Act permits joining parties where liability is uncertain. The 1st respondent, as the licensed recruitment agency, bore primary responsibility for the safety and welfare of Namutamba Milly, and its failure to operate withi…
