sovereign rights, against which a subsequent unilateral act incompatible with the concept of the Community cannot prevail....” 56. In answer, therefore, to the issue under consideration, it is our finding that Uganda’s sovereignty to deny entry to persons who are citizens of Partner States was not taken away by the Treaty and the Protocol, but the exercise thereof can only be valid if it is done in strict compliance with the requirements of Articles 104 and of the Treaty and Articles 7 and 54(2) of the Protocol. Where Uganda fails, refuses, ignores or otherwise does not comply with the above provisions of the Treaty and the Protocol, it acts in violation of her Treaty obligations. Whether the Applicant was detained at Entebbe International Airport and whether actions of the Republic of Uganda were in conformity with Articles 6 (d) and 7(2) of the Treaty; Submissions: Mr. Mbugua Mureithi, for the Applicant, submitted on this issue in two parts:- 57. On whether the Applicant was detained at Entebbe International Airport he submitted that on 13.04.2011 the Applicant arrived at the Airport, was denied entry into Uganda, was restrained, confined and detained in the offices of the Uganda Immigration Department at the airport from 9.00 am to 3.00 pm when he boarded a Kenya Airways flight back to Kenya. 58. He further submitted that the Notice signed by the Principal Immigration Officer, Entebbe International Airport, directed Kenya Airways to “return or convey” the Applicant, as a prohibited immigrant and, pending such conveyance, remove him from the non permissible area.
