Kampala, Uganda: In a significant move to strengthen human rights in Uganda, the Chairperson of the Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC), Hon. Mariam Wangadya, held a constructive meeting with the European Union Head of Delegation to Uganda, H.E. Jan Sadek. The meeting, which took place yesterday, focused on key human rights issues, particularly the UHRC’s role in safeguarding electoral processes and protecting vulnerable persons.
The discussions highlighted the importance of ensuring the integrity of electoral processes, which is essential for upholding democratic principles and protecting human rights. The UHRC’s efforts in this regard are crucial, as they help to promote transparency, accountability, and fairness in elections.
Hon. Wangadya also emphasized the need to protect vulnerable persons, including those who are at risk of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. The UHRC has been working tirelessly to promote the rights of these individuals, ensuring that they receive the protection and support they deserve.
H.E. Sadek commended the UHRC’s work, acknowledging the significant progress made in promoting and protecting human rights in Uganda. He also extended his best wishes to the Commission as it prepares for its accreditation review at the UN Human Rights meeting in Geneva this month.
The accreditation review is a critical process that evaluates the UHRC’s compliance with international human rights standards. A successful review will not only enhance the Commission’s credibility but also strengthen its ability to promote and protect human rights in Uganda.
The meeting between Hon. Wangadya and H.E. Sadek underscores the importance of collaboration and cooperation in promoting human rights. The UHRC’s partnership with the European Union and other stakeholders is crucial in supporting its efforts to safeguard electoral processes and protect vulnerable persons.
As Uganda prepares for future elections, the UHRC’s role in promoting transparency, accountability, and fairness will be more critical than ever. The Commission’s efforts to protect vulnerable persons will also continue to be essential, ensuring that those who are most at risk receive the protection and support they deserve.
