It focuses on the plight of children with disabilities (CWDs) under Uganda's current educational curriculum. These children are doubly marginalized as children and as persons with disabilities (PWDs). The\u0000author analyzes “disability” from different disability models – charitable, medical, human rights and social models. It is argued that the biased categorization in the curriculum of special needs as “difficulties,” “impairment,” “disability,” and “retardation” perpetuates victimization and discrimination of CWDs. Segregation of CWDs from the mainstream schools bars their full inclusion and participation. If PWDs in Uganda are to overcome their deplorable conditions, education must act as the launching pad. The article\u0000recognizes the strides made by Uganda to adopt inclusive education policies for special needs education as evident under the Constitution 1995, Children's Statute 1996, and Universal Primary Education (UPE). Nevertheless, the government is advised to ensure coherence and consistency in its conceptualization of inclusive education, lest contradictions in inclusive policies might operate to frustrate the entire strategy.

This has necessitated various measures to be put in place to ensure that this right is protected and promoted. Measures have been put in place, not only at the international level, but also in the three regional human rights systems: the Inter-America, the European and the African. This article looks at the history of the measures that have been put in place to protect the right to freedom from torture in the Inter-American System of human rights for the last 57 years, that is, from 1948-2005. The author critically examines the relevant instruments and how they have been interpreted or implemented by the relevant enforcement bodies. The author in particular looks at: the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man; the American Convention on Human Rights; and the Inter-American Commission and the Court; the Inter- American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture and recommends that the African human rights system should emulate the developments in the Inter- American system on human rights in the field of promoting and protecting the right to freedom from torture.

The policy framework identifies the\u0000protection of reproductive health rights as one of government's priorities.\u0000Employing library and desk research, the article critically examines the policy\u0000framework within which poor women's reproductive health rights are\u0000protected. This article argues that the policy framework is geared more\u0000towards protection of the interests of globalization than reproductive health\u0000rights of poor women. Privatization of health care services ignores the fact\u0000that because of their poverty, poor women cannot afford such services. Private\u0000sector led growth, whether in health or agriculture has a deleterious impact on\u0000poor women's reproductive health rights. Reproductive health policies that\u0000exalt contraception over critical areas such as emergency obstetric care,\u0000nutritional and occupational health are bound to fail. Any policies designed\u0000to protect the reproductive health rights of poor women must take into account\u0000their interests, realities and experiences. This can be achieved by involving\u0000women in the design, implementation and evaluation of policies intended for\u0000their benefit. Short of this, poor women will continue to be mere spectators of\u0000the so-called benefits of the globalization process.

This article looks at the\u0000effects of the recent multiparty elections on the process of democratization\u0000and peace building in Uganda. It recognizes that both democratic governance\u0000and peace have eluded Uganda for a long time. The article is built on the\u0000background that Uganda's perennial socio-political crises have been partly a\u0000result of the failure of the state to conduct free and fair elections. We conclude\u0000that if the 2006 multiparty elections had been better organized, they could\u0000have formed a milestone in furthering democracy and restoring peace and\u0000order in this turmoil-ridden country, and that since this was not the case; the\u0000prospect of mitigating the dangers of political conflicts will remain a maze.

There are thus no answers to several key questions\u0000related to the establishment, operation and growth of an East African Political\u0000Federation. Nonetheless, if the political federation is to be successful, it\u0000requires the participation and genuine ownership by the people through their\u0000institutions of choice. The ultimate decision of when and how to federate has\u0000to be put to East Africans in a referendum to endorse or reject a widely\u0000negotiated Federal Constitution. Wide consultation are essential because a\u0000review of the three East African partner states in 2005 and part of 2006\u0000highlights constitutional developments some of, which have serious\u0000implications for the advancement and launch of a political federation in 2010.\u0000If the processes leading up to the political federation are not people-centered\u0000the East African Community faces the potential risk of collapsing like its\u0000predecessor. Therefore, participatory consultations that are all-inclusive have\u0000to be set in motion immediately and all modes of reaching the wanainchi\u0000should be expansively utilized.

This article takes issue with this universalism as neither\u0000deterring the use of children in conflict nor providing appropriate post-conflict\u0000reintegration of child soldiers. The article instead provides a critical pluralist\u0000approach to the post-conflict treatment of child soldiers. In particular, the\u0000discussion focuses on the potential options for handling former Liberian child\u0000combatants who fought in the Liberian civil war. The case of Liberia poses\u0000an opportunity to institutionalize the first active juvenile chamber for the\u0000prosecution and rehabilitation of former child soldiers. Such a\u0000chamber–modeled after the framework set forth by former United Nations\u0000Secretary-General Kofi Annan in response in Sierra Leone–would incorporate\u0000principles of Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) to\u0000encourage both domestic political transition and a changed understanding of\u0000what is a child soldier and what constitutes their appropriate post-conflict\u0000treatment.
