Common Man's Charter

The Common Man's Charter was a document submitted to the Ugandan People's Congress by Ugandan President Milton Obote, forming a part of the country's so-called "Move to the Left". In it, Obote asserted several key principles of his vision for Uganda, including a commitment to democracy. It built on agreements from the June 1968 conference, and was signed into law on 24 October 1969 in an emergency meeting in Kampala.[1] It was subtitled "First Steps for Uganda to Move to the Left".[2]
