DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION .... The Constitution of Uganda, under Article 3(4), states that any action taken to defend the Constitution is lawful, and no one can be prosecuted for actions aimed at restoring or defending it. Here's what Article 3(4) specifically says: 1. Article 3(4) (a): "All citizens of Uganda shall have the right and duty at all times— (a) to defend the Constitution, and in particular, to resist any person or group of persons seeking to overthrow the established constitutional order;" 2. Article 3(4) (b): "Any person or group of persons who, as required under paragraph (a), resists the overthrow, suspension, or abrogation of this Constitution commits no offense." This article is meant to protect actions taken in defense of the Constitution from being deemed illegal, even if such actions involve resisting authorities or other forces that seek to undermine the constitutional order.

When Does a Bill Become a Law in Ethiopia? Observation in Recently Enacted Laws by the HOR. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Laws being enacted recently by the House of People’s Representatives(HOR) contain provisions which read “[t]his Proclamation shall enter into force up on the date of its approval by the House of Peoples’ Representatives.”  However, the FDRE Constitution envisions a certain bill to become a law (meaning to be binding and have an effect) only after a) its submission to the president of the republic (see, Art 57 of the FDRE Constitution) and b) in an indirect way, after its promulgation on the official gazette called Negarit Gazeta (see Art. 71(2) of the FDRE Constitution). Obviously, the president, in Ethiopia, cannot prevent the law passed by HOR from having an effect (he/she can do it only for 15 days), but still the law cannot have an effect, according to the Constitution, upon its approval by the HOR, before its submission to the President and before its promulgation on the official gazette (i.e. Negarit Gazetta), publication of laws is a necessary part of a law-making process.
