Magister Legum - LLM / Enforced disappearances are a heinous violation of numerous human rights enshrined
in many international conventions. However, they have not been adequately addressed
in many jurisdictions. This crime is very common within countries on the continent of
Africa, which despite having plenty of conflicts, under report cases of enforced
disappearances. This research paper investigates the transitional justice mechanisms
implemented in Uganda to deal with the phenomenon of enforced disappearances. It
analyses the mechanisms implemented by the Government of Uganda and those by Non-
Governmental Organisations. The paper examines also how the phenomenon of
enforced disappearances has been dealt with in other countries such as Morocco, Kenya
and South Africa. The paper suggests several recommendations to Uganda after having
made a comparison with the selected countries on how to deal with the crime of
enforced disappearances.
