Uganda's trial of civilians by court-martial is unconstitutional

Andrew Wabwezi
Andrew Wabwezi, a Ugandan lawyer, has written a very clear explanation for The Observer of why, without even referring to international human rights principles, the continued use of military courts to try civilians is unlawful. Check it out here.

Does the existence of domestic-law reasons make the government's course of conduct better -- or worse? To a foreigner, what makes this all the more remarkable is that Uganda's press continues to be robust and free.
