applicability of the second limb of that Article is not relevant to the circumstances complained of in the instant Reference. 29. However, the position is vastly different as regards the application of the first limb of Article 30 (2). The Applicants/Respondents met a formidable challenge on the applicability of that particular limb to their complaint concerning “the detention of the Respondents”. INTERPRETATION OF ARTICLE 30 (2) OF THE TREATY: 30. Article 30 (2) states that: “`The proceedings provided for in this Article shall be instituted within two months of the enactment, publication, directive, decision or action complained of, or in the absence thereof, of the day in which it came to the knowledge of the complainant, as the case may be”` 31. In interpreting Article 30 (2) in the Independent Medico case (supra), this Court held that: ``The Treaty does not contain any provision enabling the Court to disregard the time limit of two months and that Article 30 (2) does not recognize any continuing breach or violation of the Treaty outside the two months after a relevant action comes to the knowledge of the Claimant.`` 32. We find the submissions of the Respondents to be ingenious in respect of the interpretation of Article 30 (2). Mr. Mureithi, for the Respondents, contended that Article 30 (2) contains two considerations as to when time begins to run. Under the first limb of the provision, time begins to run within two months of the action complained of. Under the second limb, time begins when the party coming before the Court had knowledge of the action complained of. 9
