Chapter 2

TERRITORIAL APPLICATION OF THE CODE.

4. Extent of jurisdiction of courts.

(1) The jurisdiction of the courts of Uganda for the purposes of this Code extends to every place within Uganda.

(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1), the courts of Uganda shall have jurisdiction to try offences created under sections 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28 committed outside Uganda by a Uganda citizen or person ordinarily resident in Uganda.

(3) For the avoidance of doubt, the offences referred to in subsection (2) committed outside Uganda by a Ugandan citizen or a person ordinarily resident in Uganda shall be dealt with as if they had been committed in Uganda.

5. Offences committed partly within and partly beyond the jurisdiction.

When an act which, if wholly done within the jurisdiction of the court, would be an offence against this Code is done partly within and partly beyond the jurisdiction, every person who within the jurisdiction does or makes any part of such act may be tried and punished under this Code in the same manner as if such act had been done wholly within the jurisdiction
