In a recent ruling, Justice Ssekaana Musa clarified the process for enforcing foreign judgments in Uganda. Here are the key takeaways: Commonwealth Reciprocity: If a judgment is issued by a competent court in a Commonwealth country, it can be registered in Uganda, allowing it to have the same effect as a local judgment. Discretionary Registration: Registration of a foreign judgment is at the court's discretion. It will be ordered if it is deemed just and convenient under the circumstances. International Recognition: Foreign judgments may be recognized through bilateral and multilateral treaties, conventions, or other international instruments. This recognition means the court accepts the foreign decision and issues a judgment in similar terms without re-evaluating the original case. This ruling underscores the importance of understanding international legal frameworks and the mechanisms available for cross-border enforcement of judgments. #LegalRuling #LegalInsights #InternationalLaw #JudgmentEnforcement #Commonwealth #CrossBorderLaw #LegalCommunity

Entry into the EU 🇪🇺🇺🇦The start of negotiations with the European Union is a very important event. But it is much more important what the final terms of the agreement will be and when the entry will take place. 📍In order for the agreement to be beneficial to Ukraine, it is necessary to form a high-quality negotiating group from each component, which will include not so much loyal authorities as specialists. 📍In order for accession to take place faster, Ukraine must meet the Copenhagen criteria - among them democracy, human rights and the functioning of independent state institutions. Well, the problems of corruption have become less, and with such a mafia of judges and prosecutors, nothing really shines. That is, cleaning is bare work. They will not put order in our house for us. 🔴 And the negotiations themselves can last for years - as in Albania, Serbia and Montenegro. Or frozen for decades, as with Turkey. Therefore, it will be necessary to celebrate on the day of admission, and today to seriously start preparing for a long and difficult process. @zakrytazona

🇪🇺🇦🇱 On the path to EU membership, Albania has entered a crucial phase of negotiations, structured into key clusters that cover various aspects of governance and reform. One of the most important is the Fundamentals cluster, which includes vital areas such as the rule of law, judiciary, human rights, and public administration. These reforms will set the tone for the rest of the accession process. In my interview for Klan TV I explain the body of EU laws that Albania must fully align with. In some areas, the EU holds exclusive competence, meaning only the EU can legislate and adopt binding policies—this covers critical areas like customs union, competition policy, trade agreements, and monetary policy for Eurozone members. Aligning with these standards is a complex and transformative challenge, but it’s a vital step toward full integration into the European Union.

Tetiana KOROTKA, the Deputy Business Ombudsman of Ukraine, will participate in the International Ombudsman Conference, which will take place in Cassino, Italy. 💡The conference will focus on discussions regarding public policies and good governance, while highlighting the key role of the Ombudsman institution in their implementation. This event provides a unique platform for enhancing the global awareness of good governance policies and fostering fruitful exchanges with similar institutions, such as the Business Ombudsman Council (BOC). Considering Ukraine is facing unprecedented challenges related to the urgent overcoming of the consequences of russian aggression and long-term economic recovery, the role of BOC in establishing effective interaction between the private sector and the state becomes extremely important. 🔵Tetyana Korotka noted: “Participation in the International Ombudsman Conference in Cassino provides a unique opportunity for sharing experiences and strengthening good governance policies. For Ukraine, which is facing additional challenges due to the consequences of russian aggression, the role of the Business Ombudsman Council in facilitating cooperation between the state and the private sector becomes crucial. The upcoming conference in Italy, dedicated to Ukraine's recovery, has special significance and opens up new prospects for international cooperation”. #BusinessOmbudsman #Ukraine #Ombudsman #International_Conference

“If the unexpected government of national unity (GNU) involving the ANC and the DA succeeds in delivering public goods and services to South Africans, eradicating corruption and improving governance, the ANC will be exposed to South Africans as incompetent and the DA as productive and trustworthy, fit to govern the republic.  If the GNU fails to deliver and/or collapses, the ANC will again be the loser as the apparent leader within the union.  The question, then, is whether there will be an ANC to talk about after this historic experiment with a government of national unity that has brought together strange political bedfellows and historic rivals. There is no doubt that whatever happens to the GNU, failure or success, the DA will emerge as the winner. If the GNU succeeds, the DA can claim to have come to civilise the ANC and save South Africa. In case of failure, the DA can go to South Africans and claim that they have tried and failed to improve the ANC and therefore South Africans must vote for the DA to save a political future for the republic. As such, either way, left or right, this GNU is a dramatisation and culmination of the electoral and political decline of the ANC as a ruling liberation movement in South Africa.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/de6ExNK7
