		Since the custodian is not to recommend to the electorate a change of system in the June referendum, the outcome is a foregone conclusion which therefore confirms the referendum to be phony, fraudulent and a chicanery to deceive.
		Since the provisions of Article 269 of the Constitution are to remain in force in the run-up to the referendum, it follows most clearly that there can be no viable competitor to the Movement in the referendum.

	Uganda
		The children of northern Uganda are the victims of atrocious human rights violations of a severity that is difficult to imagine, and the actions of the Lord's Resistance Army violate the most basic principles both of customary international law and of human morality.
		Since Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions is binding on "each Party to the conflict"--that is, it is binding on both governmental and non-governmental forces--the Lord's Resistance Army currently stands in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.
		Since the focus of our investigation was on the abduction of children, we were not able to look into these charges, but we asked military officials if they were aware of them.
