Uganda, Course Instructor

Dr. Busingye Kabumba is Lecturer-in-Law at Makerere University. He holds an LLB (1st Class Hons) (Muk), Dip LP (LDC), BCL (Oxford), LLM (Harvard) and LLD (Pretoria). Recent relevant assignments include an appointment to a 5-person regional panel of experts established to analyze the Presidential election disputes decided in Uganda and Kenya and to make recommendations regarding how such high-stakes disputes may be best resolved. He has in the past facilitated various courses on Electoral Law, International Human Rights Law, International Law, and Constitutional Law (among others) for senior members of the judiciaries of Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, Lesotho, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, and Tanzania. In March 2016, he was among a group of nine scholars who were recognized by the Ugandan Supreme Court as being widely researched and highly experienced with regard to constitutionalism, human rights, and good governance and who were, on this basis, admitted by that Court as Amici Curiae (Friends of Court) in Presidential Election Petition No.1 of 2016. His most recent publications are the books entitled Soft law and legitimacy in international law (2018); Militarism and the Dilemma of Post-Colonial Statehood: The Case of Museveni’s Uganda (2017), with Dan Ngabirano and Timothy Kyepa; and A Comparative Review of Presidential Election Court Decisions (2016), with Professor Frederick Ssempebwa, Justice Eusebia Munuo and Justice Professor Lillian Tibatemwa Ekirikubinza. His main current research inquiry is the relationship between power and vulnerability.
