A scholarship (average length: two months, with a minimum of six weeks; exceptionally, four months in the case of the UK Foundation) may cover all or part of the cost of living in Rome for the designated period, but beneficiaries are in principle expected to meet their own travel expenses.

Scholarship Application Eligibility Criteria:

• The subject of the candidate’s research project, which must be related to uniform law / international private law (see details of the holdings of the UNIDROIT Library), preference being given to subjects that fit in with the Organisation’s Work Programme;
• The project’s potential for practical application in the beneficiary’s country of origin, preference being given to projects relating to the drafting of national laws or which aim at promoting the adoption of uniform law instruments;
• The candidate’s qualifications (“graduate” or “post-graduate”) and position (academic, civil servant, judge, practitioner);

A good working knowledge of English and/or French is indispensable.

In that case, a formal letter is issued by the Secretary-General which may be used by applicants in support of their direct requests to potential sponsors to finance their stay in Rome.

Members of Activists for Change (A4C) are nonviolent. So we condemn all violence and perpetrators of violence in the country.

Those policemen and army men in police uniform who attack unarmed civilians during A4C rallies and provoke violence are strongly condemned by the A4C leaders.

Anne Mugisha, one of the A4C leaders says that the Police should act responsibly and exercise restraint when controlling crowds of people tired of Museveni’s rule.

She says for police to beat up unarmed civilians with batons and sticks and violent arrests of popular opposition leaders do not promote peace in Uganda.

Violence begets violence and A4C condemns it in the strongest terms. Anne Mugisha says Police should act fast to arrest its violent officials instead of arresting nonviolent peace loving activists.

Cardinal Emmanuel Wamala has asked the members of the police force to respect the uniform they put on and the civilians whose tax the government uses to buy policemen uniforms.

Preaching in the morning mass at Rubaga Catholic Cathedral in Kampala today, the cardinal told the policemen to respect the constitution of Uganda, other laws of Uganda, inherent human rights, Police ethics and the pips on their shoulders.

The Cardinal says that it is unholy for police offices to receive bribes, mistreat suspects, and grab peoples’ property. He says it bad for the police to put allegence to president Museveni.

Cardinal Wamala says it is better for the police to remember that allegiance is to Ugandans and not president Museveni.
