state, including affairs within its own territory and powers related to the exercise of external authority- see Black’s Law Dictionary, 9th Ed. at p.1524. And by “power” in this context we take the definition again, in Black’s Law Dictionary (supra) at p.1288, as “the legal right or authorisation to act or not to act.”. 46. Our view is that, like every other country, Uganda’s sovereignty is defined by law. Prior to the entry into force of the Treaty and, subsequently, the Protocol, Uganda’s sovereignty to deny entry to unwanted persons was defined by The Citizenship and Immigration Control Act, Chapter 66, Laws of Uganda. The Treaty then came into force. 47. The Republic of Uganda, gave the Treaty the force of law pursuant to Section 3(1) of the East African Community Act, 2002. The Section provides that: “The Treaty as set out in the Schedule to this Act shall have force of Law in Uganda.” The above Act defines the Treaty as: “The Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community dated 30th November 1999, and entered into by the United Republic of Tanzania, The Republic of Uganda, and the Republic of Kenya which is set out in the Schedule to this Act, and as from time to time amended under any provision of the Treaty or otherwise modified”-see Section 2 of the Act. The Common Market Protocol came into force on the 20th November 2009- see Article 55, Common Market Protocol. Article 151 (4) of the Treaty then specifically provides that: “The Annexes and Protocols to this Treaty shall form an integral part of this Treaty.” REFERENCE NO.5 OF 2011      Page 26
