Abstract: | The recent expulsion of aliens from Uganda has attracted attention to the question whether the power of expulsion is subject to significant limitation. After examining this matter in the following successive sections: 1. The Uganda Decrees (the juridical position of aliens in Uganda); 2. United Nations involvement; 3. Limitations on the power of expulsion; 4. Expulsion of individuals; 5. Mass expulsion; 6. Expulsion of former citizens, the conclusion is that the existence is demonstrated of a corpus of existing laws limiting a state's right under international law to expel aliens from its territory. Equally, however, it is demonstrated that the existence of a principle of international law is no guarantee of its observance. The reluctance of certain states to ratify the basic human rights conventions is in itself a matter for concern. Notes. See also the preceding article: 'Uganda - A lawless state', mentioning some examples of lawlessness. |
