> Outreach Strategy for War Crimes Division of High Court of Uganda
This white paper is designed to offer guidance to the Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS) as it plans for War Crimes Division (WCD) trials and begins an aggressive campaign of associated public outreach. The recommended strategy is a creative outreach philosophy that focuses less on spreading information to the general public and more on responding to public perceptions and responses while engaging the population and international perceptions throughout the transitional justice process.
The report concludes that the success of the War Crimes Division of the High Court of Uganda depends on an effective outreach program that encourages citizen engagement with the process and the support of communities throughout its existence.
