Micheal,
I don't think there should be too much worries. All we need are names of
those fighting not only to kill people in Uganda, but also keep a population
unproductive and in concentration camps, like this Francis Butagira is, by
blocking the issue of human right in the North and East to reach the world.
That is treasonable, and a firing squad would be the right medicine.
When time comes, those names are what we will need, for rule of law to take
its course. I will be one of those who will advocate for firing squad, if an
individual actions contributed to the deaths of many wananchi.
Watch this space.
Ocii.

I find this really strange. This is the same UN that is sending rebel leader
Josef Kony to the Hague for War Crimes. It would be interesting to know what
the opposition in Uganda will say about this issue.
Whatever evidence the UN has; Kony has now got a strong defense.

Isn't the Darfur mission interfering in Sudan's internal affairs?

report on north at UN Assembly *

October 11, 2007
UGANDA has blocked a move by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human
Rights to include on the Agenda of the UN General Assembly a report on the
human rights situation in northern Uganda.
Uganda's Permanent Representative to the UN, Mr Francis Butagira,
successfully put up a fight that resulted in leaving the report out of the
Agenda. He said adopting the report would amount to, "political interference
in Uganda's internal affairs."
The report was presented by Louise Arbour, the UN High Commissioner for
Human Rights.
"We believe the high commissioner has no mandate to ambush member states on
such sensitive issues even if she was authorised," Mr Butagira told the 3rd
Committee of the General Assembly on Monday.
"We are surprised because Uganda has cooperated with her office."
In August, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)
released a report accusing the UPDF of human rights violations and the use
of excessive force while disarming the Karimojong.
"She should have shared it with the Ugandan government if her aim was to
promote human rights," Mr Butagira later told Daily Monitor in an interview.
Mr Butagira said the latest report, which he is yet to read, was in bad
taste, especially at a time when the north is enjoying peace and residents
are leaving the IDP camps for their homes.
"The report may poison the progress so far achieved in the Juba Peace
Talks," Mr Butagira said. He added that the report could be the work of
politicians "fighting the regime and working to tarnish the image of the
country."
Uganda's top diplomat at the UN said the government has been constantly
demonised over issues of the north. "Behind it all was this fellow called
Olara Otunnu, but we fought off that agenda," he said.
Mr Olara Otunnu, a former UN Under-Secretary General and Special
Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, served as Uganda's permanent
representative to the UN from 1980 to 1985.
A few years ago, he referred to the LRA war in northern Uganda as a
genocide.
When the matter was put to vote at the end of the debate that lasted four
hours, those in favour not including the report on the Agenda were 76
against 54 while 20 members abstained. Uganda was supported by China, the
African Group, majority of who were members of the defunct Non-Aligned
Movement and the Group of 77 countries.
The OHCHR declined to comment on the issue
