I can name over 50 forms of injustices in Africa that go unnoticed. Who is to blame?

About 3 in 10 people don't know their basic fundamental human Rights in society. The few who claim to know, don't know the right avenues to address these issues.

Is the justice system broken and unable to educate the masses? We stand behind the law and claim that "Ignorance of the law is no defence" to justify placing an affected illiterate farmer behind bars.

*WHO IS TO BLAME ?*

There are defenses for Negligence liability.

For example, if you notice that a bottle of fruit juice has spilled in the aisle of your grocery store and you block off the aisle with a rope and put up a sign reading, "Danger: Do Not Enter," and a customer ignores the sign, removes the rope, then injures himself, you can defend against liability by stating that the customer assumed the risk by disregarding the warnings you put in place.

Negligence is a liability in Law.

If a customer slips and injures himself because you failed to clean up a bottle of fruit juice that spilled in the aisle of your grocery store, you are legally liable for injuries resulting from the customer's fall because you were negligent.

Lack of legal awareness is one of the challenges of access to Justice in Uganda..

Where the users of justice institutions lack sufficient information to seek redress. There is general lack of information on the mandates and procedures of the JLOS institutions in languages that people understand. Court use legal jargons, the formality of the processes and technicalities also hinder access to justice This has multiple effects including but not limited to loss of interest in pursuing the justice process due to unclear outcomes, manipulation of duty bearers and intermediaries, poor presentation prolonging the realization of outcomes, delayed and therefore failed justice.

Unchained YoLaw is here to erase this by all means.
Sign up now. For a better access to Justice.

Uganda has signed many international and regional treaties on human rights. ... The Constitution makes it an obligation for all organs, agencies of government, all security agencies, including police and all persons to respect, uphold and promote human rights.
Along with the Human Rights (Enforcement) Act.

Still saddened by the death of Mr. Medi Kaggwa 😥

Why do some people get caught by the Law?

Reality: Not everyone gets caught, but someone does. The hosts on a NJ radio talk station described being pulled over for speeding as a “reverse lottery” where many people are doing it alongside you, but only one car gets singled out and pulled over. “What about all those other guys?” is not a defense.

Unchained YoLaw.

The reason why knowing some laws is important is because it allows you to protect yourself against tyranny, and it also allows you to make sure that you are acting lawfully at all times. ... In any event, understanding basic and fundamental laws is one of the most important life skills that you can have.
