22. In American Cyanamid vs. Ethicon Ltd (supra), the objective of interlocutory reliefs was aptly stated as follows (Lord Diplock): “The object of the interlocutory injunction is to protect the plaintiff against injury by violation of his right for which he could not be adequately compensated in damages recoverable in the action if the uncertainty were resolved in his favour at the trial; but the plaintiff’s need for such protection must be weighed against the corresponding need of the defendant to be protected against injury resulting from his having been prevented from exercising his own legal rights for which he could not be adequately compensated under the plaintiff’s undertaking in damages if the uncertainty were resolved in the defendant’s favour at trial. The court must weigh one need against another and determine where ‘the balance of convenience’ lies.” 23. In the present Application, the Applicant sought to protect the rights of the Burundian and greater EAC region citizenry from the violation of its right to peace, security and stability, as well as good governance, democracy and the rule of law. These rights were depicted in paragraph V of the Application and canvassed in the Applicant’s submissions. Indeed, they are also re-echoed in the Prayers in paragraph 52(b) of Reference No. 2 of 2015. On the other hand, we understood it to be the First Respondent’s case that the Republic of Burundi enjoys the right to conduct its Presidential and Senatorial Elections as provided by the country’s Constitution. This is reflected in Reference No. 5 of 2015 Page 13
