Impunity for past electoral violence is a major barrier to a free and fair election in Uganda in 2011. Perpetrators from all sides of the political spectrum have very rarely faced justice for crimes committed in past elections. Those responsible for earlier offences, as well as those contemplating crimes, will feel unconstrained in future elections barring new measures and increased enforcement,” reads a summary of the Human Rights Watch report Preparing for the Polls: Improving Accountability for Electoral violence in Uganda. The report was released in Kampala on December 4, 2009.
