On this #InternationalHumanRightsDay we’re reminded that peaceful elections depend on protecting every voice,even the ones we disagree with. Safety, free expression, and tolerance for divergent views are not luxuries. They’re the foundation of credible elections.

“Demanding for accountability and respect for rule of law is not a crime but a sign of an empowered citizenry. An open and pluralistic civic space that guarantees freedom of expression and opinion as well as freedom of assembly and association, is a prerequisite for making development and peace sustainable,” Rev. Canon Augustine Magala Musiwuufu, Board Member, @actvuganda giving opening remarks at the Commemoration of the International Human Rights Day, 2025 at Golf Course Hotel this morning.

🎙️Earlier today, UHRC in conjunction with partners held a press conference about upcoming Human Rights Day commemoration activities. This year’s International Human Rights Day (IHRD) will climax into a Multi-stakeholder National Dialogue on 10th December 2025 at Golf Course Hotel, Kampala starting at 8:30am. It will feature Political parties, Ministries, Departments and Agencies of State, Security agencies, Non-Government Organizations and Development partners. These will come together to discuss and lay strategies for a peaceful atmosphere during and after the general elections. UHRC and its partners called for the following actions; 1.The State should appropriate adequate resources towards voter education and civic education. 2.Journalists and the media should ensure professional and impartial reporting on election related activities and incidents. 3.The general public to always use legal means to advocate for their rights, and respect each other to avoid political violence. 4.Political parties should institute mechanisms that promote political dialogue and tolerance during the electoral process and provide access to professional and timely documentation of survivors of torture and violence. #HumanRightsUG25 @PoliceUg @UCC_Official @UCC_ED @ChairpersonUhrc @EUinUG @UgandaEC @irc_uganda @UNinUganda @NRMOnline @NUP_Ug @FDCOfficial1 @DemocraticParty @EPUOfficial @DP1954Uganda @ckaheru @lo_apitta @SimeoNsubuga @shifrahl @mutumba_n @RSsekindi @alex_bukumunhe @mutumba_n @BKamadi @actvuganda @HRCUG @UNFPAUganda @JusticessP #JointPresseronElections #HumanRightsUG25 #UgandaDecides2026
