Uganda Christian University (UCU) has once again raised its flag high, winning the Best Memorial/Written Submissions Award at the 34th All Africa Human Rights Moot Court Competition held in Cape Town, South Africa.

The prestigious competition, hosted at the University of Cape Town from June 29 to July 5, 2025, brought together over 104 universities from across the African continent, making UCU’s achievement a remarkable feat on the continental stage.

Representing UCU were oralists Stacy Ndawula and Aaron Alinda, while the research and writing team included Paul Matsiko, Gizenga Christo, and Sarah Elias Akech.

“Our Moot Team that traveled to Cape Town, South Africa for the All Africa Human Rights Moot Competition has done it again,” said Dr. Peter Mutesasira, Dean of the UCU School of Law. 

The All Africa Human Rights Moot Court is the largest and most prestigious moot court competition on the continent, focusing on critical human rights issues. UCU’s top recognition for its memorials underscores the university’s commitment to legal research, advocacy, and academic excellence.

Uganda Christian University has cultivated a distinguished reputation in moot court competitions across Africa and beyond. The UCU School of Law consistently produces outstanding teams that excel in oral advocacy, legal research, and written submissions.

 Over the years, UCU has earned accolades at prestigious platforms including the All Africa Human Rights Moot Court, the Christof Heyns African Human Rights Moot, the International Humanitarian Law Moot, and the National Inter-University Constitutional Moots.

These achievements are a testament to the university’s dedication to producing not only academically sound legal professionals but also skilled advocates ready to engage in real-world legal challenges.
