cannot be assumed by any Local Court in a Partner State and in the instant case, the remedy sought can only be granted by this Court and not any Local Court in Rwanda. 11. Fifthly, the Applicant also stated that the Reference was filed within time because whereas Article 30(2) of the Treaty limits the time for filing proceedings to two (2) months after the cause of action has risen, in the instant case, the Subject was arrested on or about 20th August 2010 and while the reference was filed on 8th November 2010 the “detention whose legality is the subject of this reference continued up to 28th January 2011 when the Subject was put in preventive detention by an Order of Court as provided by the Laws of Rwanda.” That therefore, by the time the Reference was filed, the cause of action was still subsisting and Article 30(2) cannot apply to bar the present proceedings. 12. For all the above reasons, the Applicant states that she is entitled to the reliefs sought and the Court should exercise its discretionary Jurisdiction under Article 27(1) of the Treaty and grant the declarations as set out elsewhere above. 1ST RESPONDENT’S CASE REFERENCE NO.8 OF 2010 Page 7
