It details the serious violations that victims and victim-focused civil society organisations (CSOs) believe should trigger their right to remedy and reparation. Their priorities for remedy focus primarily on truth-recovery and accountability for harms committed. Recognising that reparations constitute remedies, their priorities for reparation rights include: physical and mental health services, education services, assistance to recover housing, land and inheritance, rebuilding of livelihoods, empowering of youth, public acknowledgement of harm and apologies, information on the disappeared, and the proper treatment of the dead. The report incorporates a strong gender focus and analysis. The report provides victims, CSOs, the Ugandan authorities, the United Nations, development partners, non-governmental organisations, and foreign agencies and specialists in transitional justice with a detailed outline of victims’ rights to remedy and reparation in international law. It also highlights the remedy and reparation principles and parameters outlined in the Agreement on Accountability and Reconciliation, one of the five agreements (collectively known as the Juba Protocols) concluded in talks between the Government of Uganda and the LRA in Juba, Southern Sudan in 2006-2008. The Agreement1 and its Annexure2 form the basis on which the Government of Uganda is drawing key principles to frame policies, legislation, and programmes to determine facts around the conflict (itself a form of remedy)and determine the parameters and modalities for reparation.
