Abstract
The application of the Uganda Judicature (Visual-Audio Link) Rules does
not contextualise the complete protection of an accused’s right to a fair trial
during emergencies. A contextualisation of the right to a fair trial in inter national law and under Uganda's domestic law is done. An evaluation of the
application of the Visual-Audio Rules in the context of its objectives and
circumstances follows. The contribution proposes an accused-centred
approach in the application of the Visual-Audio Rules. A conclusion and
recommendations follow.
