Amnesty as a Panacea to Conflict: An Assessment of the Contribution of Amnesty to Conflict Resolution and Sustainable Peace in Uganda

Abstract

This paper addresses the inherent powerful nature of Amnesty in ending intractable conflicts. Ceteris paribus, cessation of conflict was expected once the amnesty Act was promulgated. However, since the promulgation of the Amnesty Act (2000), there are insurgents still at large that have not taken advantage of the Amnesty Act.
