ii. m. Article 10(c) and (d) of the Supplementary Protocol (supra); Article 20 of the Protocol (A/P1/7/91) of the Community Court of Justice, ECOWAS; 1v. Articles 1, 2, 3, 7, 13(2), 19,26,27,28, and 29 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. v. VI. 22. Articles 33(2) a, 4 and 15 of the Revised Treaty of the ECOWAS; Article 23 of the Rules of the Community Court of Justice. She submits that contrary to the position of the Defendants in paragraph 1 of page 5 of their application, the legal qualification and nature of action of her Application is based and derived as stated above. 23. The Applicant submits that by the said provisions of the Supplementary Protocol (supra) she is adequately empowered to file this action which is therefore not merely administrative or based on the abuse of power by a staff but an issue that goes to the root and foundation of violations of the legal regime of the ECOWAS, the Staff Regulations, the fundamental principles and vision of ECOWAS. 24. She argues that the analysis of the facts as enumerated by the Defendants in paragraph II at page 6 of their objection with due respect is deliberately couched in order to mislead this Honourable Court, and thus referred the Court to Article 10 of the Supplementary Protocol (supra) which clearly provides the category and condition for those who may have access to the Court. 25. The Applicant states that in line with the objection of the Defendants that she lacked legal capacity as a staff, she submits that with utmost respect the Defendants were blind to Article 10(c) and (d) of the Supplementary Protocol (supra). 8
