Welcome

The Refugee Law Project (RLP) seeks to ensure fundamental human rights for all asylum seekers, refugees, and internally displaced persons within Uganda. We envision a country that treats all people within its borders with the same standards of respect and social justice.
We work to see that all people living in Uganda, as specified under national and international law, are treated with the fairness and consideration due fellow human beings.
