Our History

The Justice and Peace Commission was founded in Uganda by the Uganda Episcopal Conference in 1979, but officially established in 1986 when there was a dire need of addressing the ravages of the ‘bush’ war that had hit the country since 1980s. Like all other Catholic Justice and Peace Commissions around the world, it was set up in response to an appeal made in 1968 by Pope John Paul VI to all Episcopal Conferences to take concrete action towards peoples’ development by establishing justice and peace commissions in every diocese in the entire world.
