I was wondering if Ugandan people have become more mature and self actualised since independence or the introduction of contemporary democratic governance system where people chose the leader they want. However, since the coming into power of president Yoweri Museve Kaguta, change in government has had no room. Frankly, people have been able to practice the exercise of voting which is one of the fundamental principles of a democratic state.

THE STATE AND THE PROTECTION OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL RIGHTS (ESR): A CASE OF UGANDA

Written by: Mr. Otim Denis Barnabas ABSTRACT The debate about human rights has led to different thinking on its origin, contextualization and consequential documentation. This has been portrayed in a number of documents such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Charter of the United Nations, the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights to mention but a few. As a result, human rights have then become embedded in states’ constitutions and legislations. This paper seeks to study the understanding of human rights, from the perspectives of Economic and social rights, and the state as an agent in the protection of these rights. Analysis shall be based on the relevant national instruments and putting at the center of the study the case of Uganda.
