Mujuzi, Jamil Ddamulira
Journal of LGBT Youth, v6 n4 p441-445 2009
The Ugandan Penal Code criminalizes same-sex relationships. The author analyzes the Ugandan High Court decision where the judge relied on the Constitution and international human rights instruments to hold that law enforcement officers must respect the rights to privacy and human dignity even of those people presumed to be in same-sex relationships.
