give prior notice or obtain an authorization or permit for an assembly, do not constitute an interference with the right to freedom of peaceful assembly. However it must be noted that the manner of exercising a Right under any given statute may lead to such action being negative and will therefore undermine the objective intended to be served. The action of the agents of the Respondent could assessed against this background in line with the provisions of Article 11 (2) of the ACHPR. From the provisions of Section 5 of the Public Order Act above, it can be inferred that the whole essence of imposing the need for a license is to ensure law and order, as well as a violent free processions in the overall interest of the populace. In the case of ÉVA MOLNÁR V. HUNGARY (2009) APP. NO. 10346/05 FINAL, EUR. CT. H.R. the European Court of Human Rights’ position was that prior notification served not only the aim of reconciling, on the one hand, the right to peaceful assembly and, on the other hand, the rights and lawful interests (including the freedom of movement) of others, but also the prevention of disorder or crime. In order to balance these conflicting interests, the institution of preliminary administrative procedures is common practice in Member States when a public demonstration is to be organized, and that such requirements do not, as such, run counter to the principles embodied in Article 11 of the Convention, as long as they do not represent a hidden obstacle to the freedom of peaceful assembly protected by the Convention. Further, in case of LINDA GOMEZ & 5 ORS V. REPUBLIC OF THE GAMBIA (2012) ECW/CCJ/APP/18/12 at pg. 27, the CCJ stated that it lacks the jurisdiction to annul domestic legislations of ECOWAS Member States. In light of the action of the agents of the Respondents in the instant case, the Court holds that the provisions of section 5 of the Public Order Acts of the Republic of the Gambia did not violate the provisions Article 11 of the African Charter and further holds that the Public Order Act section 5 of the Laws of The Gambia and is in tandem with permissible restrictions in ensuring law and order. However, the requirement of having to obtain the approval of the Inspector General of Police of the Gambian Police Force will undermine the exercise of such right and therefore needs a review. 34
