dc.description.abstractWe interrogated Uganda’s legal framework to determine whether it effectively addresses land governance and environmental protection in the oil-rich Albertine Graben. The review benchmarks against the legal international agenda on environmental protection established by the 1992 Earth Summit and its subsequent conventions. We used documentary analyses and focused on determining the state of access to justice regarding land rights and the conservation of biodiversity from literature. Our investigation discovered inconsistencies in enforcement practices and legislative gaps in the domestication of international environmental law.
