dc.description.abstract | This research studies the East African Community's dispute settlement framework. It examines
the dispute between Kenya and Uganda over Migingo Island. Indeed since the end of the World
War II, the human race has strived towards peaceful coexistence and established international
organization such as the Unite Nations, European Union and the African Union and other sub
regional organization to steer issues of development, peace and security through integration and
cooperation. The end of the Cold War and the advent of globalization. The International system
has increasingly been geared towards cooperation efforts and states have joined together for
cooperation in diverse areas of mutual interest. The republics of Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda,
Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania joined together and formed the EAC, one of the
successful REC's in the African region.
The republics of Kenya and Uganda have been involved since 2008 in a dispute over Migingo
Island located on their international border in Lake Victoria. The dispute has not augured well
for the region and there is need for its settlement. The role and mandate of the East African
Community in dispute settlement has been unclear leading to questions on its mandate and
ability to settle disputes within the bloc. Its absence in the negotiations and its silence over the
island dispute has raised questions in the region and internationally on its conflict management
role. The East African Communities' ability to settle disputes would advance and enhance its
integration agenda. The Migingo Island dispute therefore poses a credibility test case on the East
African Community and its future role(s) in conflict management. | en |
