How will it priotise corporal punishments for peacefully Uganda ??

It is important to note that corporal punishment is not an effective or humane way to address issues in any society, including Uganda. Instead, the government should prioritize peaceful and non-violent methods of conflict resolution and punishment. This can include investing in education, mental health services, and community-based programs that promote positive behavior and address the root causes of violence. Additionally, the government should work to strengthen the rule of law and ensure that all individuals are treated fairly and justly under the legal system. By prioritizing these approaches, Uganda can create a more peaceful and just society for all its citizens.

Uganda has a long history of using corporal punishment, including for peaceful protests. In 2019, the country's parliament passed a law that criminalized "unlawful assembly," which could be used to crack down on peaceful protests. The law also increased the penalties for participating in "unlawful assembly," including the possibility of corporal punishment.

In 2020, the Ugandan government used corporal punishment to crack down on protests against the results of the presidential election. Security forces beat and whipped protesters, and at least one person was killed.

The use of corporal punishment for peaceful protests is a violation of international law. The United Nations Human Rights Committee has stated that "corporal punishment is a cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment that is prohibited by article 7 of the Covenant [on Civil and Political Rights]."

The Ugandan government should immediately end the use of corporal punishment for peaceful protests. The government should also reform the law on "unlawful assembly" to ensure that it is not used to crack down on peaceful protests.
