Amnesty International has a number of serious concerns about the Regulation of Interception of Communications (RIC) Bill, published on 25 May 2007 and due to be submitted for debate in Parliament. Amnesty International’s concerns in this memorandum focus primarily on the proposed legislation’s incompatibility with international human rights standards, particularly the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, Uganda being a party to both treaties.
