THE WEAPONIZATION OF EXTRADITION TREATIES BY DOMINANT POWERS AGAINST THE WEAKER STATES, AND THE PERPETUATION OF NEO-COLONIAL LEGACY:
Uganda has agreed to extradite its National, a one, MICHAEL KATUNGI, to U.S to be tried for crimes he allegedly committed there. Can U.S extradite its National to Uganda to be tried? The answer is NEVER! That's why it is not a party to the ICC protocol; because they can not allow their citizens to be tried by FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS. And, indeed, in CIVIL-LAW Countries, like France, Germany, Russia, Japan..., there are strict CONSTITUTIONAL/Statutory PROHIBITIONS against handing their NATIONALS over to foreign Countries to be tried.
Because, in essence, it is an abuse of the Principle of the SOVEREIGNTY OF STATES and the Principle of SOCIAL CONTRACT, ie, The SOVEREIGN STATE'S DUTY TO PROTECT ITS NATIONALS. More so, when such EXTRADITION TREATY LACKS THE POWER OF RECIPROCITY, ie, POWER ASYMMETRY, like we see in this case.
Therefore, Uganda must evoke what's known as the ACTIVE PERSONALITY PRINCIPLE where we ASSERT our own CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM against our Citizens for crimes they could have committed abroad. Therefore, Uganda must reject the EXTRADITION of KATUNGI to U.S, and instead, subject him to our own Criminal Trial, here. By so doing, we serve both JUSTICE AND OUR SOVEREIGNTY.
Even in the CA, some of us were against these one-way-traffic EXTRADITION TREATIES. But then, like now, our economic dependency and the never ending conditional aid and leverage nonsense, always determine the outcome!
It is therefore a shame, to extradite our National to U.S when U.S CAN NEVER EXTRADITE AN AMERICAN TO UGANDA. Doing so is a clear sign of the modern MASTER-SLAVE NEO-COLONIAL RELATIONS; where historical subjugation evolved into these, even, not so subtle systems of DOMINANATION.
SHAME, Uganda 🇺🇬!
@f_l_Nix@JoelSsenyonyi Well, for someone professing to represent people with "brains," I'd expected a counter argument, not an insult, but I guess I could expect nothing less from someone who only professes.
@kasujja Recognize and sanction, they said, actually. All this is gonna do is lead to intensified Israeli action against the already vulnerable Palestinians. I personally would be happier if I saw the UK taking the kind of action it took in Bosnia in '92.
@newvisionwire Stranded in Tanzania? People walk all the way to namugongo from that country. Maybe they should try that. I also heard it's got some health benefits.
@DailyMonitor Naye banaye! There's a reason why there's two words "Cohabitation" and "Marriage" you can't start legislating to change the meaning of English words...
Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversaryالحمدلله
And I've Watched more people join up. Maybe the world also became more chaotic, factions got dumber and twitter-vaulence really kicked up a notch😂 but I still love the Blue Bird no doubt
@PoliceUg Of course the civilians will never know who, but there's 3 types of people with guns...
2. The real patriots out to serve
2. Those looking for a job
3. Criminals looking to commit crimes unimpeded coz they're the authority. The force needs to deploy these people accordingly.
@PoliceUg@PollyNamaye@CID1_UG Or maybe you've been left out of the loop this time and you're helping a bad guy get away by guiding the public eye away from him...just a speculating speculator anti emirimu eyuganda jjyabula😂😂😂
@AKasingye More like proof the world needs more listening ears and less talking mouths but then the problem becomes what will all the listening ears listen to?
@JaneRuth_Aceng Very dangerous for her and whoever put up the hundred-plus rungs on that lader to heaven.
If you see them, please ask if they worked on the tower of Babylon project way back then🤣🤣
