The government must honour all international treaties and agreements that Uganda signed or joined before the current Constitution took effect. This means Uganda keeps its promises to other countries and international organisations, even after the new Constitution came into force. You are protected because the government cannot simply walk away from these commitments. These agreements remain fully valid, and Uganda continues to be bound by them, just as before.

any treaty, agreement or convention with any country or international organisation was made or affirmed by Uganda or the Government on or after the ninth day of October, 1962, and was still in force immediately before the coming into force of this Constitution; or

Uganda or the Government was otherwise a party immediately before the coming into force of this Constitution to any such treaty, agreement or convention,</br></br>
the treaty, agreement or convention shall not be affected by the coming into force of this Constitution; and Uganda or the Government, as the case may be, shall continue to be a party to it.

Article 287 ensures that all international treaties, agreements, and conventions Uganda was part of before the new Constitution remain in effect.
