IDPs and the weaknesses and strengths of the law to that effect. The Research stipulated the

Ugandan Constitutional Fundamental Human Rights of the IDPs, other rights, Regional Vis-aVis

international instrnments concerning the protection of forced Displaced persons.

The assessments and the relevance of the legal framework of the displaced persons due to wars

and other natural calamities have been examined. Questionnaires, interviews, observation and

library search were methods used in data collection.

War being one of the causes of forced Displacement leading to the suffering, socio-economic

regression of the IDPs caught my interest as an area wo1th of my research. The study made it

clear that armed conflicts violate people's rights Viz, rights to life, health, property, education

and other fundamental human rights entitlements.

of lives, psychological, socio-economic infrastrnctural destrnction, physical casualties and
