Kampala

The Uganda Law Society (ULS) has announced its intention to legally challenge the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (Amendment) Act, 2025, recently signed into law by the President on June 12. The society, known for its commitment to constitutional governance and human rights, views the new law as a threat to judicial independence and the separation of powers.

The ULS has historically opposed military influence over civilian institutions, a stance reflected in Constitutional Petition 18 of 2005. The organization remains firm in its rejection of policies that could undermine democratic principles and the rule of law. In a statement issued today, ULS Vice President Asiimwe Anthony reaffirmed this dedication, stating that “the Radical New Bar stands steadfast in its commitment to protecting citizens’ rights.”

A key focus of the ULS’s legal campaign is the plight of detainees affected by the Kabaziguruka Supreme Court ruling, which may lead to the annulment of past military court actions. Through its High Profile Case Unit, the ULS President’s Office will spearhead efforts to ensure justice is served. Despite transparency challenges and funding obstacles, the organization is exploring alternative financing options to support its advocacy.

The Uganda Law Society is calling on citizens to remain vigilant as it embarks on this legal challenge, reinforcing its longstanding mission of promoting constitutionalism and human rights. Legal experts and civil society groups are closely watching how this battle unfolds, with its potential to reshape Uganda’s approach to military governance and civilian oversight.

As the ULS prepares its constitutional challenge, questions remain about the broader implications of the UPDF Amendment Act, 2025. Observers anticipate a contentious legal battle that could define Uganda’s democratic trajectory in the years to come.
