U.S. army tips UPDF on human rights
Publish Date: Jul 19, 2012
The
US
army personnel have trained their Ugandan counterparts on the need to respect human rights and conduct their work following
the rule of law.
During
a two-day course, the U.S.
army civil affairs team from the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa trained 66 officers from the Moroto-based UPDF 3rd
division about humanitarian law and rules of engagement.
“The
purpose was to advocate a respect for human rights and the rule of law by
promoting good conduct, so as to build support for our partner nation, Uganda,
among its people, and to build capacity among the troops,” Major Jim Wherry,
the lead trainer, said.
Major Wherry observed that many human rights
abuses can be prevented simply by ensuring soldiers do their jobs carefully.
“Repeated
practice builds confidence in soldiers to overcome carelessness and only use
deadly force against credible threats,” he explained, according to a statement
issued by the U.S.
embassy.
In the classroom, trainers presented on a
variety of subjects, including: the law of war, the law of internal conflict,
escalation of force, rules of engagement, gender-based violence, refugee and
children’s rights, rights of detainees, protection of civilians, and
civil-military cooperation in routine military missions.
The
training included such practical exercises as a mock routine operation in
cooperative and respectful cordon and search techniques, and reporting law of
war violations.
By
following a ‘training of trainers’ model, the course sought to enable UPDF
trainees to then train their peers.
Many
trainees from the UPDF served in the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).
This training allowed them to compare and discuss rule of war application in
both AMISOM and Karamoja operations.
According
to Cpl. Jason Jordan, training facilitator of the US 490th Civil Affairs Battalion
Charlie Company, the interaction gave trainees a better understanding of
humanitarian law and how it affects soldiers and military operations.
The
course received some very high reviews from both the UPDF officers and the
non-commissioned officers (NCOs).
The
UPDF Civil Affairs Office requested a copy of the training material so they can
incorporate instruction of human rights and civil-military cooperation into
their own training regimen, Cpl. Jordan said.

bomb in Japan
and many others.
Ugandans Comment on Article
Human rights?? or human
abuses??...may be if they want UPDF to imitate their evelish practices of
urinating on the human corpses,burning of Quaran,massive massacres of innocent
civilians and torturing of inmates. why dont they impart those presumed
professionalism in to their troops who are committing war crimes, but,are not
answerable to the manipulated ICC? They need to understand they're the most
hated p'ple in the world because of the misery and perpetual agony they have
inflicted on human kind!!!!!!.- and are using the infamous US Africa Command as
escapegoatism to extend their greed of imperialism and swallow up the African
sovereignity and indipendence.
The bad military history
of USA
speaks for themselves. Already the link and presence of the USA military men in/to Uganda has
caused Ugandans and Africans a lot of problems. We have seen the many bombs in
East Africa cities and the extra security the African countries now have to put
in place because of their links to USA. Ugandans should be worried if
they are going to incorporate USA
militarilism into her army. Cpl. Jordan, your best source of
material for the training of your soldiers is to look forward to the UN
materials.
