Rtd. Maj. Okwir Rabwoni: The way NRM conducts business is the same way African revolutionary movements conduct business. They believe in consensus and not competition.

Congratulations to Justice Julia Sebutinde, who has been re-elected to the International Court of Justice. I thank the team at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that worked tirelessly to ensure Uganda keeps the slot.

Absurd to use Covid to send #Kabuga to The Hague, even if temporarily, rather than Arusha (already a poor substitute for Kigali). Covid stats in Tanzania are sketchy but almost certainly lower than the Netherlands. The judgment assumes Paris-Hague transit essentially risk free.

As I was saying:

Another nugget from the discussion. Omar Muhammad, war survivor noted that the strategy for ensuring sustained victim engagement in TJ processes needs to be sustainable rather than demand-driven. This requires donor and civil society collaboration focused on the long term.

[Lorraine SmithvanLin @smithvanlin]

The Speaker of @Parliament_Ug noted that although Covid-19 is pressing this does not mean that transitional justice should be placed in the background. Once the Transitional Justice Bill is tabled, it will be fast-tracked.

[Lorraine SmithvanLin @smithvanlin]

Wow! Technical challenges couldn't stop this powerful discussion with solid interventions by the Speaker of @Parliament_Ug, the Chief Justice, Christ Ongom, Omar Mahammud and Margaret Ajok. Thank you Judge Elizabeth Nahamya, @ESA_UG and @REDRESSTrust . Looking fwd to the replay

[Lorraine SmithvanLin @smithvanlin]

Thank you Omar Mahammud, war survivor, for reminding us that acknowledgment of and apology by the govt for what happened to victims is crucial to redressing the wrongs done to them. Not all reparative measures have to be costly to be meaningful to victims. @MargaretAjok

@ICTJ Uganda TJ webinar. Need for a robust analysis of the gendered impact of COVID-19 and engagement with conflicted affected populations and marginalised groups in the post-COVID-19 TJ response. @ESA_UG @REDRESSTrust
