...were soon felt in Kampala. There was little that Amin could do about the Geneva-based jurists, but he was not at a loss for convenient targets. Accusing the British of instigating the report (the commission's secretary-general is London Barrister Niall MacDermot), Amin first threatened to expel Uganda's 1,500 Britons on 48 hours notice, then backed down from the deadline at the behest of Kenya's President Jomo Kenyatta.
