A Review of the Legal Framework of Refugees in Uganda : A Descriptive Approach

In its entire history, Uganda experienced the highest inflow of refugees between 2000 and 2010, yet it also experienced (at the same time) a serious lack of scholarly information on how these refugees were handled. This, as a result, caused serious information gaps, especially with regard to how these refugees were vetted for refugee status, the rights they enjoy(ed) while in Uganda, and how they were assisted by the United Nations Higher Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and Government of Uganda (GoU) to realize their rights. This Book, therefore, was written basing on a study which was specifically conducted to fill the foregoing information gaps. It is the Author's hope that readers will find it very informative and enriching, especially in aiding their better understanding of the issues written about.
