HUMAN RIGHTS AND PATRIMONIAL POLITICS

This book critically examines the enforcement role of the Uganda Human Rights Commission(UHRC) amidst an esoteric , utopian , covert , manipulative , authoritarian and ethnically defined movement political regime that came to power with a pre-determined intention to infringe on the political rights which are not in tandem with its ideological paradigm . The book exposes the sophisticated' techniques which the movement system employs in order to virtually silence all opposition and cling to power at all costs . These include among others : the infiltration of all human rights stake holders and the implicit use of a one party political state to dominate the legislature and subsequently infiltrate state institutions through legislation .In conclusion book critically examines the impossibility of enforcing human rights with out fear or favour amidst a patrimonial and ethnically defined one party movement political regime and hence the need to replace it with a self critical pluralistic democracy in which opinions co-exist without any despicable manipulation
