This paper assesses the need for a comprehensive reparations policy in Uganda, and identifies key aspects for an adequate reparations policy. First of all, it analyses existing principles on the international law of reparations in the context of Uganda’s conflict, and provides instructive guidance on determining adequate, effective and comprehensive remedies for the affected population. Secondly, it applies the UN Basic Principles to the situation in Uganda in order to further define the nature of the right in the context of mass conflict.
