ICC-CPI-20200207-PR1513

ICC Registrar Peter Lewis meets with Ugandan Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Hon. Ephraim Kamuntu.

From 3 to 7 February 2020, the Registrar of the International Criminal Court ("ICC" or "the Court") Peter Lewis visited Kampala, Uganda and Bunia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). During these visits he met with Government officials and United Nations representatives and had direct interactions with ICC staff members working in these countries. This was the Registrar's first visit to those countries since his election in March 2018.

In Kampala, Uganda, the Registrar met with the Ugandan Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Hon. Ephraim Kamuntu as well as the United Nations resident coordinator Rosa Malango. In Bunia, DRC, the Registrar held a courtesy meeting with Cecilia Piazza, Head of Office of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Ituri Province, DRC (MONUSCO). The Registrar of the Court thanked these interlocutors for their support for the ICC's independent mandate and ongoing operations in these two countries.

"The Court is thankful for the excellent support received over the years in both situation countries," said ICC Registrar Peter Lewis at the end of his visit. "We look forward to continuing our close collaboration in effectively fulfilling the Court's mandate."

Cooperation and support is essential for the Court to deliver on its independent mandate under the Rome Statute. The ICC relies on the cooperation of States and International Organisations for its activities and for the benefit of the affected communities looking for justice and accountability to be done.

During his meetings with ICC staff members in Uganda and the DRC, the Registrar thanked his teams for their constant and valuable efforts. Discussions focused on operational issues and the continuous improvement of the Court's working methods.

The ICC has 7 Country Offices in situations where it is conducting investigations, including in Kinshasa and Bunia (DRC) and Kampala (Uganda). ICC Country Offices are essential to develop and maintain cooperative relationships with key stakeholders in situation countries and to support the Court's mandate and resulting activities in these countries.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda. I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know. It got me totally messed up. This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood. He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations. His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion. So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe? Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly. After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.
