Standard Motion · S4M-02288 · Session 4
Joseph Kony
The motion
That the Parliament notes current campaigning to raise worldwide awareness of the alleged violence of Joseph Kony, leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in Uganda; understands that Kony has repeatedly refused to negotiate with Ugandan authorities to help facilitate peace in the country and in surrounding areas; notes that United States legislation, the Lord’s Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009, claims that Kony has used over 66,000 youths in his rebel force, and therefore commends the numerous young people, including many in East Kilbride, who are campaigning to raise awareness in their own localities in an effort to ensure that Joseph Kony is brought to justice in order that their fellow young people in Uganda and other countries, who it believes have been forced to become part of the LRA, can move toward a life of peace and security.
