| dc.description.abstract | This study examines the role of Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms in resolving family disputes in Uganda, emphasizing the effectiveness of Arbitration, Mediation, Conciliation and Negotiation in facilitating timely access to justice and alleviating case backlog. The research analyzes the legal and institutional framework governing ADR and family bond protection in Uganda, exploring the interplay of international conventions, regional instruments, and domestic legislation. The findings underscore the benefits of ADR in family disputes, including expedited resolution, reduced costs, and confidentiality, while also proposing practical approaches for dispute resolution through arbitration and other mechanisms. The study concludes that ADR serves as an effective means of resolving family disputes in Uganda, presenting a viable alternative to traditional litigation. It recommends increasing awareness and education about ADR, strengthening institutions, and training more people with expertise in family issues. By embracing ADR mechanisms, stakeholders can effectively navigate the complexities of family disputes, thereby fostering innovation, creativity, and collaboration within Uganda's family industry. | |
